Why Little Rock Patients Choose Dr. Devlin for Liposuction
Safer, More Comfortable Liposuction
Dr. Devlin performs tumescent liposuction, the technique that combines a local anesthesia and epinephrine solution with cannula-based fat removal. The solution makes the targeted fat firm and swell so it removes more cleanly, and it shrinks blood vessels in the treatment area so the procedure is safer and more comfortable for the patient. Dr. Devlin has performed thousands of liposuction procedures.
A Surgical Authority
Dr. Devlin has authored multiple articles in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and has served as a consultant to the surgeons general of the United States. Academic publication and federal consulting are the kind of credentials that other cosmetic surgeons hold up as career milestones; Dr. Devlin treats them as part of the standard for what he brings to every liposuction case.
Affordable Liposuction With Two Financing Paths
Liposuction at Devlin Cosmetic Surgery by a leader in cosmetic surgery puts world-class results within your reach. For patients who want to spread the cost across monthly payments, the practice partners with Advance Care (third-party financing with 48-hour approval and interest-free loan options for qualified applicants) and Med Loan Finance (low interest rates with no pre-payment penalty). We will gladly help you explore these options during your consultation.

Post-Pregnancy Liposuction

This 35-year-old Arkansas man just could not get rid of his love handles despite a healthy diet and consistent exercise. He came to our Little Rock team for liposuction. Dr. Devlin removed 2500cc of fat from his abdomen and waist, delivering the slimmer figure he wanted.
I couldn’t be happier with my liposuction results! As a medical professional and someone who firmly believes in divine appointments and timing, I know without a doubt that Dr. Devlin and his team were perfectly and purposefully placed in my life. I 100% recommend him and his team.

What Exactly Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is an incredibly popular cosmetic surgery that can remove up to 10 pounds of fat cells from the body. This can result in attractive body contouring and an important confidence boost.
During liposuction surgery, Dr. Michael Devlin makes small incisions in targeted areas. He then inserts a thin tube, known as a cannula, which he uses to gently suction excess fat cells from your body.
Liposuction can be performed for both men and women. Patients turn to liposuction when stubborn fat cells refuse to go away despite healthy exercise and eating habits.
Liposuction Is Not a Weight Loss Solution
Our Little Rock cosmetic surgery office prides itself on being straightforward with patients. It is important that you know liposuction is not a comprehensive surgical weight loss solution. It is a body contouring procedure that removes fat, but it should only be performed for patients who are within 30 pounds of their ideal weight.
Liposuction Can Improve Many Areas of the Body
Once an individual has undergone liposuction, they will enjoy a slimmer, tighter-looking figure. Unlike a tummy tuck, which focuses solely on the abdominal region, liposuction can be applied nearly anywhere on the body.
The most common areas for liposuction are:
- Stomach
- Waist
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Bra line
- Chin and neckline
Liposuction Can Be a Highly Targeted Surgery
This 36-year-old Arkansas man came to our Little Rock practice because he was displeased with the shape and appearance of his chin. Dr. Devlin explained exactly how he could resolve these issues. Our cosmetic surgeon performed chin liposuction with a chin implant to achieve this transformation.
Liposuction Candidacy
Dr. Michael Devlin explains liposuction candidacy and related misconceptions. Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it is intended to help patients who are near their ideal weight enhance their contours by removing about five liters of excess fatty tissue.
Determining Liposuction Candidacy
We are here to help men and women throughout Little Rock, Conway, and Hot Springs, AR, obtain the bodies they want. That being said, we make sure each patient is a good candidate for a specific surgery before commencing treatment. When it comes to liposuction candidacy, Dr. Devlin will assess your:
Current Weight
Liposuction candidates should be within 30 pounds of their ideal weight. They should also have sufficient skin elasticity, which helps avoid looseness and wrinkles after surgery.
Medical History
Several health issues can make liposuction a poor choice. These include a weak immune system, diabetes, heart disease, or deep vein thrombosis.
Smoking Habits
An ideal liposuction candidate does not use nicotine of any kind. This is because nicotine restricts blood flow, increasing the difficulty of surgery and impeding a healthy recovery.
Family Planning
Liposuction is not recommended for pregnant women, those who are nursing, or those planning a pregnancy. This is because pregnancy can undo the results of liposuction.
The Liposuction Timeline
When you receive liposuction from Dr. Devlin, you can expect him to complete the following surgical steps:
A single liposuction surgery can transform your body for years.
Detailed Design
Dr. Devlin meticulously marks the areas of your body that will undergo fat removal. This pinpoint planning allows him to complete surgery with precision.
Soothing Anesthesia
Anesthesia is used to numb you from pain and relax your body, making it easier for our surgeon to operate effectively. General anesthesia is typically used, however, liposuction can sometimes be completed with only the use of local anesthesia.
Targeted Injections
Dr. Devlin injects the previously marked areas with a special solution that causes the targeted fat to both firm and swell. This makes it easier to remove.
Precise Incisions
After your anesthesia has taken full effect, Dr. Devlin makes small, careful incisions in the marked areas.
Fat Elimination
Dr. Devlin then inserts the cannula through the incisions. He uses the cannula to break up unwanted fat cells before gently suctioning them out of your body.
Finishing Up
Our surgeon places compression garments on the suctioned areas. This helps prevent skin from becoming loose, encourages healing, reduces swelling and bruising, and more.
Liposuction May Also Offer Some Health Benefits
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that should not be relied on for weight loss or total health improvement. That being said, a scientific review of 12 large-volume liposuction studies showed the procedure may offer some health benefits. Notably, liposuction may have a positive impact on patients’ metabolic balance, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk factors.
Remember that liposuction is not a replacement for diet and exercise, and it is not a cure-all for preventing weight gain. You can still gain weight, even after receiving liposuction, if you fail to exercise and eat a balanced diet. Additional weight gain can offset liposuction’s potential health benefits.
