Liposuction & Body Contouring in Kelowna – Sculpt Your Shape with Confidence
Sometimes, no matter how dedicated you are to eating well and staying active, stubborn pockets of fat just don’t budge. At Okanagan Health Surgical Centre, our advanced liposuction and body contouring procedures can help you achieve the smooth, sculpted figure you’ve worked hard for.
Whether you’re targeting love handles, thighs, arms, or your midsection, our experienced plastic surgeons offer safe, effective fat removal surgery — right here in Kelowna, BC — in a private and fully accredited facility.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body using a suction technique. It is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a way to contour and refine areas that resist traditional diet and exercise.
Liposuction is ideal for areas such as:
- Abdomen and flanks (“muffin top”)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Upper arms
- Hips and buttocks
- Chin and jawline
- Back and bra roll
- Chest (especially for gynecomastia in men)
Is Liposuction Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for liposuction surgery if:
- You are at or near your ideal weight
- You have good skin elasticity
- You’re bothered by localized fat deposits
- You want to enhance your body shape, not lose weight
- You are in good overall health and don’t smoke
During your private consultation at our Kelowna surgical centre, we’ll assess your goals, body type, and skin quality to determine the best plan for you.
Body Contouring Procedures We Offer
Traditional Liposuction
Using small incisions, a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to break up and suction out fat. This technique is ideal for sculpting the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other common trouble spots.
High-Definition Liposuction
Looking for more muscle definition? This technique sculpts around natural curves and muscles to enhance tone and shape — especially popular for the abdomen, chest, and back.
Chin & Neck Liposuction
A double chin or bulky neck can make you appear heavier or older than you are. Neck liposuction creates a more defined jawline and profile, often with a short recovery time.
Male Chest Contouring
Excess fat or glandular tissue in the chest can affect men’s confidence and comfort. Male chest contouring using liposuction offers a flatter, firmer appearance.
Combination Procedures
Liposuction is often paired with other body contouring surgeries such as:
Mommy makeover – a custom combo of liposuction, breast surgery, and tummy tuck
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) – to remove loose skin and tighten abdominal muscles
Arm lift – for improved contour and reduced sagging
Thigh lift – for smoother legs and reduced chafing
Benefits of Liposuction & Contouring
- Permanent fat reduction in treated areas
- Improved body proportions and silhouette
- Boosted self-esteem and body confidence
- Enhanced fit in clothes and swimwear
- Minimal scarring (small, discreet incisions)
- Fast recovery, especially for smaller areas
What to Expect: Your Surgical Journey
1. Consultation
You’ll meet with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to review your goals, areas of concern, and medical history. We’ll create a customized surgical plan that fits your body and vision.
2. Procedure
Liposuction is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the treatment area. Surgery time ranges from 1 to 3 hours. Most procedures are outpatient, so you’ll return home the same day.
3. Recovery
You’ll wear a compression garment for several weeks to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients return to non-strenuous work within 3–5 days, with full activity allowed after 3–4 weeks.
4. Results
Swelling subsides over several weeks, and final results are typically seen within 3 months. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your results can last for years.

FAQs About Liposuction & Contouring
Q: Is liposuction permanent?
A: Yes. Once fat cells are removed, they don’t grow back. However, weight gain can affect remaining fat cells, so maintaining a stable weight is key to long-term results.
Q: Will I lose weight from liposuction?
A: Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It targets specific areas of fat to enhance shape and contour, not total body weight.
Q: How much does liposuction cost in Kelowna?
A: Pricing varies based on the area(s) treated, technique used, and whether it’s combined with other procedures. You’ll receive a detailed quote during your consultation.
Q: Can liposuction tighten loose skin?
A: Liposuction removes fat but does not significantly tighten skin. If loose skin is present, we may recommend combining it with a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift.
Q: Are there risks or side effects?
A: As with any surgery, risks include swelling, bruising, numbness, and irregular contour. Choosing a qualified surgeon greatly minimizes these risks.
