How Liposuction Works
Liposuction removes excess fat from specific areas using small incisions and specialized techniques to sculpt and define your shape. At Plastic Surgery Wichita, we use power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to achieve smoother, more consistent results. Initial healing typically occurs within several days, with swelling improving over weeks. Final contour changes continue to refine for 3–4 months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results long-term.
Mini & Modified Tummy Tuck With Liposuction
Some patients benefit from a combination of liposuction and a mini or modified tummy tuck. This approach removes excess lower abdominal skin while tightening the underlying area and improving contour where liposuction alone isn’t enough.
These images highlight how combining techniques can create a flatter, cleaner waistline and restore definition across the midsection.

How It Done?
If you’re dealing with stubborn fat that just won’t go away, the Plastic Surgery Center offers a variety of body contouring options: traditional liposuction, SmartLipo, and BodyTite. Let’s take a closer look at these options:
Traditional Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure that enhances your body’s shape by removing fat deposits located beneath the skin. This leads to a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. The fat cells are permanently removed from the targeted area. It can help reduce fat deposits in areas such as:
-
Chin and neck
-
Upper arms and back
-
Breast, ‘bra rolls,’ or chest area
-
Abdomen, flanks, and waist
-
Hips, thighs, inner knee, buttocks, calves, and ankles
BodyTite vs Traditional Liposuction
Dr. Rieger doesn't offer BodyTite because RF tightening can be inconsistent, adds cost, and often gives only mild changes.
Traditional Liposuction
-
Provides predictable fat removal and smoother body contouring for Wichita, Andover, and Derby patients.
-
Allows precise sculpting of the abdomen, waist, flanks, and thighs.
-
Proven safe with long-lasting results and no heat related risks.
BodyTite
-
RF heat can lead to incosistent tightening and subtle, short-term improvements.
-
Higher chance of contour irregularities, burns, or uneven results.
-
Adds extra cost without reliably improving outcomes.
