Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. During the procedure, a thin instrument called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin to loosen and suction out excess fat. Dr. Demianczuk frequently performs liposuction on the abdomen, hips, upper arms, and thighs, often combining it with procedures like abdominoplasty, thigh lift, or brachioplasty to achieve optimal results. With over 20 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Demianczuk is recognized as a leading provider of liposuction and body contouring in Vancouver.

The Surgical Experience
Liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. It is considered an outpatient procedure. On average, each body part (i.e. tummy, thighs, etc.) will take 30 -60 minutes to complete. After surgery, patients must wear a compression garment on the treated area for 6 weeks. Bruising and swelling will dissipate after 1-2 weeks, but the final result will take several months to appear. The scars associated with liposuction are usually small and will fade over time.
Candidates for Liposuction
Ideal candidates for liposuction include those within ten pounds of their goal weights. Patients must be at a healthy BMI and be in generally good health. TO determine if you are a good candidate for treatment, we recommend that you schedule a consultation with Dr. Demianczuk.
What to Expect with Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia at a fully accredited surgical facility. It is an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. Each bodily area treated generally takes between 30 to 60 minutes. After surgery, patients are sent home with their caregiver and are required to wear a compression garment for approximately six weeks to support healing. While bruising and swelling usually resolve within one to two weeks, final results may take several months to fully develop. Scars are small and typically fade over time.

Book a Consultation“I had liposuction with Dr. D 4 years ago,and I thought he did a great job. Had my stomach, back and love handles done – No contour problems, and very symmetric. Now, after two kids, I’ve gone back for more surgery with him (a tummy tuck), and again I am thrilled. He has a great bed side manner, and is very attentive to detail. I’ve sent another 2 friends to see him as well. The wait list to see him can be long but it’s worth it. His staff are very good too, and made sure everything went smoothly.”
