In just six weeks, you'll start experiencing amazing benefits, and in about six months, you'll achieve your ultimate results. Liposuction is a permanent solution that can help sculpt your body and enhance your overall look. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise, is crucial to ensure long-lasting results. While liposuction removes fat cells from targeted areas, weight gain in other parts of your body may compromise your newly achieved body shape.
Reveal Your
Best Self
In most cases, you will return home on the day of your procedure in the care of a friend or loved one. Most people recover from liposuction quickly with relatively little discomfort. You will have swelling, bruising, and soreness, which some people compare to the muscle aches you feel after a hard workout. You will wear a compression garment over the treatment area to help with swelling and improve healing. Dr. Augenstein will provide detailed post-op instructions, which will cover this and all of your other aftercare questions. Most people take two to four days away from work and two to four weeks off from vigorous exercise. Light walking is encouraged starting the day of surgery.
Your recovery timeline will depend on how much fat is removed and which areas were treated, but here’s what most patients can expect:
At ASC, you’ll receive a detailed aftercare plan and direct follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery and results that meet expectations.

Dr. Augenstein will walk you through what’s possible—and what’s practical—based on your anatomy and goals.
Dr. Augenstein has used SmartLipo and is experienced in performing this technique; however, he has found that combining tumescent and power-assisted liposuction provides a safer procedure and better results. Dr. Augenstein uses a rapid vibration cannula to treat the area and remove as much fat as possible without heating it, preventing any possible distortion to the treatment area.
SAFELipo is a 3-step approach that enables Dr. Augenstein to remove large volumes of fat without compromising safety or creating contour irregularities. Dr. Augenstein uses this technique when performing liposuction on every patient.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and won’t prevent you from gaining weight. Although liposuction removes fat cells permanently, the remaining fat cells can expand if you consume more calories than you burn. Eating right and exercising regularly can help you maintain your results.
Dr. Augenstein’s refined surgical techniques have earned him an outstanding reputation as one of the best liposuction surgeons in Charlotte, NC. If you feel frustrated because you work out, eat right, and still don’t see the results you want, liposuction may benefit you.

While you will see immediate improvement after liposuction, it can take several months for the swelling to go away completely and for your final results to take shape.
Liposuction physically removes fat cells through a small incision and suction cannula, delivering more immediate and dramatic results. Non-surgical options like CoolSculpting use temperature to damage fat cells over time but require multiple sessions and may offer less precise sculpting.
Liposuction addresses fat, not skin texture. If cellulite or skin laxity is a concern, you may benefit from adding a skin tightening treatment or combining liposuction with a lift procedure for smoother contours.
Yes—and it’s common. Fat harvested during liposuction can be purified and reinjected into areas like the face, breasts, or buttocks to enhance volume and shape using your body’s own tissue.
Fat cells removed during liposuction don’t come back. However, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain, potentially altering your results. Staying active and maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your new contours.
Local anesthesia with sedation may be enough for small, isolated areas. For more extensive treatment, general anesthesia is typically used. Based on your surgical plan, Dr. Augenstein will recommend the safest and most comfortable option.
