Pedro M. Soler, M.D. offers liposuction to the men and women residing in and around Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater, as well as the rest of southwest Florida. His experience and dedication to offering custom patient care make him a knowledgeable choice for your liposuction needs.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction helps remove excess subcutaneous fat, which remains resistant to exercise and diet. It helps change your body contours permanently. The most common body parts for liposuction are the armpits and upper arms, the area under the chin, male breasts, abdomen, trunk, hips, waist, thighs, calves, inner knees and ankles. Most of our patients are of average weight and are non-smokers from all over Tampa Bay. Improved techniques, like Liposculpture, are for heavier patients to remove larger fat amounts. Depending on the amount of fat you want to remove with liposuction, consider a tummy tuck to eliminate any remaining loose skin.
How Is Lipo Surgery Performed?
Liposuction permanently improves the proportion and contour of the treated areas. A flatter physique with or without clothes is one of the goals of liposuction. Dr. Soler performs liposuction under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The patient goes home with a compression tape or garment covering the treated areas. Wearing a compression garment for the recommended time will help eliminate swelling. Once the soreness and pain have decreased, you should be comfortable enough to wear spandex or lycra pants. You can control any of these discomforts in the initial stages with oral pain medications. It will take about two weeks to a month for the bruises and swelling to disappear. The desired result shows within three to six months after surgery. Surgeons can perform fat grafting with liposuction if the patient wants to increase a specific area of their body, such as a buttock enhancement.
Discuss any risks or individual suitability of liposuction directly with Dr. Soler during your one-on-one consultation. Even though all surgical procedures carry a slight risk, major complications are rare when undergoing liposuction surgery with Dr. Soler. Any minor complications that may arise do not hamper the result of your surgery.

Why Enhance Your Appearance With Liposuction?
Whether you wish to enhance your appearance or remove fat cells in a specific area of your body, there are many reasons for undergoing liposuction, such as:
Removing Fatty Deposits
Despite a healthy and active lifestyle, stubborn fatty deposits in the abdomen, arms and neck can be frustrating. These stubborn areas often resist diet and exercise, making removal difficult. Come to us for neck liposuction in Tampa to remove these problem areas.
Regaining a Pre-Pregnancy Appearance
Pregnancy causes major changes both inside and outside a woman’s body. While many people can achieve their pre-pregnancy weight, they may find that they still have areas of fat that will not go away. Liposuction can recontour the body to help you regain your pre-pregnancy appearance.
Feeling More Confident
If you have disproportionate amounts of fat in different areas of your body, it may make you feel embarrassed or cause you to hide certain features. We offer chin lipo in Tampa, so you can remove these problem areas to boost your self-esteem and enhance your overall quality of life.
Improving the Fit of Clothes
Removing stubborn fat deposits can cause dramatic results, one of the biggest being how your clothes fit. For example, liposuction can help reduce stubborn fat around your abdomen for better-fitting shirts and pants. You may also gain the confidence to wear tighter-fitting clothes to show off your shape.

Does Insurance Cover Liposuction Surgery?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure and does not qualify for insurance coverage. To make the cost of liposuction surgery more attainable, all patients can apply for CareCredit, which offers flexible plan options for plastic surgery and treatment. CareCredit has limits ranging from $1 to $25,000 and low monthly payments, making it easy to find a financing option that fits any budget.

If you are traveling more than 50 miles to attend your liposuction appointment, we recommend staying in Tampa for a few days after the surgery.
