Am I A Good Candidate for Liposuction?
The ideal candidate for liposuction is a person who is at or near a healthy weight but struggles with pockets of stubborn fat that just won't respond to diet or exercise. Individuals interested in liposuction should have good skin laxity, as liposuction does not address loose skin. It is also important to understand that liposuction is not a treatment for weight loss. Females undergoing liposuction should have no plans to become pregnant again, as this may compromise the lasting outcome. During your consultation at our New Orleans, LA office, Dr. Stalder will help you determine if liposuction is the right treatment for you.
What Happens During Liposuction?
Surgical liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia. A very small incision is made through the skin so a cannula will be placed. A cannula is a tool that makes it easier to loosen the fat that is being vacuumed out. After the fat deposits have been suctioned out, Dr. Mark W. Stalder will seal the incision. Your procedure could take several hours based on the number of areas being treated. In the dedicated recovery area, your post-operation nurse will assist you with managing your pain and look after your treated areas until you are discharged.
What to Expect Following Liposuction
You may need to recover at home from liposuction surgery for 1 – 3 weeks, depending on the amount of areas treated and the amount of fat removed. It's typical to have swelling and bruising for 1 – 2 weeks, and you should have the stitches removed on days 7 – 10. What is most important after having liposuction is to allow your body time to heal and recover. When you are ready to go back to work after your procedure, you should remember to minimize stress and strenuous activity. To build up your strength and stamina, try light workouts and go for walks as recommended by Dr. Stalder. Keep in mind that you may see some changes after six weeks, but it takes 6 – 10 months before your new body contour and shape is complete.

Liposuction FAQs
How much does liposuction cost?
Your cost for liposuction varies based on the technique selected and how many areas are being addressed. In your consultation, Dr. Stalder will develop your unique treatment plan to meet your needs and goals. He will also consider your budget. Once your plan is ready, estimated costs can be discussed. Stalder Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods to make your cosmetic surgery affordable, and we will help you find low-interest medical financing.
Will I have scars?
Since liposuction is a surgical procedure, incisions will be made and sutured. This will cause scars, but Dr. Stalder does his best to minimize their appearance. This includes making small, thin incisions in the natural folds of your body or in less visible areas. After your surgery, Dr. Stalder or a team member will teach you how to care for your stitches, so they heal properly and fade.
Will my results last?
Before liposuction surgery, you must be committed to maintaining your results. While liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in an area, you can still lose and gain weight. Dr. Stalder recommends that you be at or close to a healthy weight before having liposuction surgery. Afterward, it's best to remain within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Pregnancy after liposuction will also alter your results; however, a second surgery or mommy makeover may be performed to refresh your appearance.

Stalder Plastic Surgery Reviews
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the team at Stalder Plastic Surgery. They are sensitive, caring, professional, comforting and smart. They walked me through a life changing surgery and I felt that they were a constant source of support.
Dr. Stalder and his office staff are beyond amazing. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. They made my reconstruction journey so pleasant and calming.
On August 1, 2023 at the age of 69 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. So many things go through your mind at this time and so many choices to make. Within a week I had a team that consisted of an oncologist, radiologist, breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. All amazing doctors, but my plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Stalder, of Stalder Plastic Surgery hit it out the ballpark. My spouse and I went into our first visit with so many questions, we had a list, and each question was patiently answered. During a few consultations with Dr. Stalder I decided that I would do a double mastectomy with DIEP Flap reconstruction. Even though my cancer was only in my right breast I didn’t want the concern of it occurring in my left breast at a later date. Jess, Dr. Stalder’s patient rep had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had gone through the same surgery I was about to undergo. I spoke to her at length about my decision and what was to come. Jess was so very so helpful and supportive and really put my mind at ease with my decision. Abby, Dr. Stalder’s PA is the best, such a sweetheart. She was there for every visit from pre-op to all of my follow ups. When she went out on maternity leave, Alexa stepped in, once again another fabulous person. She made me feel as if she had been there from day one as well. I can’t leave Angie out either. On a few occasions when I called with a question and staff was with other patients she always answered my questions or made sure I got my question answered. The surgery I chose consisted of two surgeries, the first the Masectomy and DIEP flap and then a few months later there was the “tweaking” surgery. The second one was to even out my breasts and move the scar from the DIEP flap and tighten up my belly. The first surgery was September 19, 2023 and the second was on February 19, 2024. All through these surgeries Dr. Stalder and his amazing team have been right there along for the ride with me. Always patient and kind when I came in for follow-ups with my list of questions. Dr. Stalder always walks in with the biggest smile and makes you feel so comfortable. And let me tell you how important that is considering you are completely naked during those follow up visits. It’s been almost a year since my first surgery and I can’t thank Dr. Stalder, Jess, Abby, Alexa and Angie enough for their professionalism, kindness, compassion, making me feel like a person, not just a patient, and for giving my spouse piece of mind during this ordeal as well. You guys rock!
Dr. Stalder and his staff are deserving of more than 5 stars. They are truly the best - doctor, physician's assistant , Abby and office staff, Jess. My mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries were very difficult and had many unforeseen complications. Dr. Stalder was so caring and encouraging. He and his staff were never more than a phone call away. They were always patient and kind. The end results are amazing; he has made me feel whole again. I am forever grateful for Dr. Stalder and staff.
From the day I met Dr Stalder he always asked me what I wanted rather than force anything on me. I trusted the process from the start and in the course of a year, the work done to my body is unbelievable. The more I heal the more beautiful everything is. From him to his 5 star staff, they are truly some wonderful people. My breasts look amazing!!! I still can’t believe how it all came together! Anytime I had a question him and his team were there to provide the answers almost in the blink of an eye! I am so honored to have worked with Dr Stalder and his team. I will never forget you all as I continue on with my life. You all were a special part of my breast cancer journey. Waking up to Abby checking on me also warmed my heart. She’s such a sweetheart ! I love you all and pray you continue to do an amazing job with individuals dealing with cancer. You have restored my dignity and helped me to love myself again.
