Liposuction Sacramento | Body Contouring by Dr. Hause
Liposuction can target stubborn fat in the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, neck, and other areas that may not respond to diet and exercise alone.
Liposuction in Sacramento
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body. At Sacramento Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Donald W. Hause, MD, FACS offers liposuction for patients who want to refine body shape, improve contours, and address areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Instead, it is intended for patients who are close to a stable weight but have localized areas of fat that affect their overall body proportions.

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction removes unwanted fat from targeted areas using small incisions and a thin surgical tube called a cannula. The goal is to improve body contour by reducing fat deposits that may remain despite healthy eating, exercise, and weight stability.
Common treatment areas may include the abdomen, waist, hips, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, neck, and other areas depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
Liposuction may be used to contour several areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Flanks
- Hips
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Back
- Neck or chin area
During your consultation, Dr. Hause will evaluate your concerns and determine whether liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, mommy makeover surgery, or another body contouring procedure may be more appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for Liposuction?
Good candidates for liposuction are typically healthy adults who are close to a stable weight but have stubborn fat deposits that do not improve with diet and exercise alone. Candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction improves contour rather than producing major weight loss.
Patients with loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles, or significant skin laxity may benefit more from a tummy tuck or body lift than liposuction alone.
Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits, while a tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and may repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Some patients may benefit from one procedure, while others may need a combination approach.
Dr. Hause will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin quality, fat distribution, muscle tone, and desired outcome.
Liposuction Recovery
Recovery after liposuction depends on the areas treated and the extent of the procedure. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, soreness, and temporary activity restrictions while healing.
Dr. Hause provides detailed post-operative instructions, including guidance on compression garments, activity limits, incision care, and follow-up appointments.

Liposuction may treat areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, neck, and other areas depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
What is the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat, while a tummy tuck removes excess skin and may repair weakened abdominal muscles. The best option depends on the patient’s anatomy and concerns.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Liposuction may be combined with procedures such as tummy tuck surgery, mommy makeover surgery, or other body contouring procedures when appropriate.
How long is liposuction recovery?
Recovery varies based on the treatment areas and extent of the procedure. Patients may need temporary activity restrictions and should follow Dr. Hause’s post-operative instructions carefully.

Fat cells removed during liposuction do not return, but future weight gain can affect remaining fat cells and overall body shape. Maintaining a stable weight can help support long-term results.
