Look & Feel Your Best with Body Contouring Liposuction by Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery
The human body undergoes a wide range of changes as time progresses. Unfortunately, several of these changes can lead to the development of stubborn pockets of fat that seem nearly impossible to get rid of. If you are struggling with localized areas of fat that aren’t improving with healthy lifestyle choices, liposuction can help provide you with the slimmer body you’ve been working toward.
Many men and women struggle with problem areas of fat. Maybe you’re trying to lose a double chin, flatten your belly, or get rid of those stubborn love handles, but your efforts in the gym and kitchen don’t seem to be cutting it. This is often the result of your body changing, becoming increasingly resistant to traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise.
Liposuction works best for those who are already healthy, but are struggling to lose those last few pounds. It is not intended to be a weight loss procedure or an alternative to diet and exercise. It is important you continue to live a healthy lifestyle after your liposuction procedure in order to maintain the long-lasting results that you desire.
People often find themselves facing troublesome areas of stored fat due to:
Several different areas can be treated with liposuction, including the:
Once you are comfortably sedated, our board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Robert Graper or Dr. Garrett Harper will carefully make small incisions in your treatment area. They will then insert a cannula (thin, hollow tube) in through the incision so it reaches into the underlying layer of fat. The cannula, which is connected to a surgical vacuum at the other end, is then carefully maneuvered to help break up the fatty deposits and remove them from your body.
The liposuction process must be done carefully and artistically to avoid an unnatural appearance and any unnecessary side effects. Our highly skilled cosmetic surgeons will continue removing the excess fat until they have achieved your desired results. The artistry and touch of Dr. Robert Graper and Dr. Garrett Harper is why so many people come to our practice to have this procedure performed, along with countless other body and face cosmetic procedures.

Our liposuction is usually performed in our fully accredited, state of the art, surgical facility in Charlotte. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia which allows you to be comfortable and safe throughout the surgical experience.
After surgery, the patient is fitted with a compression garment. This helps to ensure the liposuction scar will heal properly as the incision must remain tension and pressure-free during the early weeks of healing. Patients generally require 10 days off of work after surgery. Walking is permitted and encouraged the day after surgery, but strenuous activity and heavy lifting are limited for six weeks. Swelling will be present initially following surgery and subsides during healing. The final results are typically seen 3 months after surgery.
Most patients are concerned with the length and placement of the surgical scar. Dr, Graper and Dr. Harper are skilled surgeons who take tremendous care in limiting the size and visibility of the surgical scar, choosing to keep the incision below the bikini line.
Our exceptional staff will fully explain the surgery and answer all of your questions during a consultation.
Dr. Harper and his team are incredible! I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction. The care taken pre and post-op was impressive! I loved the care that Dr. Harper takes to make sure that all questions and concerns are answered. He is the BEST at what he does and I’d recommend to anyone considering plastic surgery. Also appreciate that he runs his schedule on time! I never had to wait…
I had an initial consultation with Dr. Graper and I knew right away that he would be my surgeon. He was open and honest and I felt comfortable with him immediately. I went in thinking I had my own knowledge of procedures but I learned so much from him. After shopping around and talking to a few surgeons I chose him right away. The initial nurse I met with, Linda, was amazing as well. She wad very knowledgeable and provided a great pre-meeting prior to meeting with Dr. Graper. Great experience!
