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.

The recovery from this surgery compared to the implants from another plastic surgeon was night and day. I knew right then I had chosen the right team this time. Megan is readily available by text for any questions or advice. I cannot say how grateful I am to this amazing team of medical professionals and a simple thank you is not enough.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime. I highly recommend Dr. Mark Stalder to anyone considering breast reconstruction. He listens attentively, provides compassionate care, and is dedicated to his patients. His team worked diligently to ensure I was fully informed and confident in my decisions regarding the surgery, making me feel valued and well-cared-for throughout the process.

Dr. Stalder and his team are truly the best in their field.
When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
