Liposuction

What is Liposuction Surgery?

At La Belle Vie Liposuction Surgery In Wilmington, NC

Liposuction is a solution for anyone that’s trying to lose weight but have some troublesome areas that aren’t responding to exercise or a healthy diet. We offer the best liposuction in Wilmington, NC, which will remove the subcutaneous fat that lives under the skin and adds extra inches where you don’t need them. This will improve your figure and make you feel far better about your shape.

How Does It Work?

We utilize tumescent liposuction techniques to improve those troublesome areas. With tumescent liposuction, we place a fluid containing local anesthetics and saltwater into the areas that we are going to remove fat. Blunt metal tubes (cannulas) are then used to “suck out” the excess fat.

Depending on the area(s) to be treated, liposuction can be done with local anesthesia, but larger areas tend to require general anesthesia.

Recovery is generally well-tolerated and “downtime” is usually only a few days.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Areas of the body that can be treated include:

Abdomen/Belly
Waist/Flanks/Hips
Thighs
Back
Buttocks
Arms
Chest/Bra Fat
Neck/chin
Cheeks
Knees

Leslye is amazing! I have been seeing her over a year and a half for injectables. She is fantastic at sharing information and asking for my input and feedback. I’m very happy with the services I receive from Leslye and at La Belle Vie!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Church and La Belle Vie for my breast augmentation. After waiting many years to take the leap, I did my research and decided to make a consultation. From the first day I met Dr. Church, I knew he was the perfect doctor to trust such a personal procedure with. He and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient when I explain some of my anxieties and questions regarding the surgery. I feel, nowadays, it is so common to feel like doctors don't always do a good job listening or they're trying to rush through your appointment, but at La Belle Vie, they truly make you feel important, cared for and respected. Doctor Church and his staff did an incredible job helping me decide sizing, placement, etc. when I wasn't completely sure what was best for me. The procedure went absolutely perfectly, and Doctor Church called precisely at the time he promised that night to check on how I was feeling. I actually healed from my surgery in a much quicker time than they told me to expect I would, and I truly believe a lot of that has to do with Dr. Church's skill level, attention to detail, and high standard of cleanliness he upholds in his office. I may be biased in saying this, but I truly believe that I must've received the BEST set of boobs he's ever placed, because they are literally perfect. They look natural, the size fits my small frame incredibly, and I can't even begin to describe how much confidence this surgery has given me. I highly recommend La Belle Vie Plastic Surgery and am incredibly thankful to all on staff for such a wonderful, life changing experience. You rock!

Leslye is amazing, she’s got an artistic eye and is wonderful at what she does. I was so happy to find her for injections, she knows how to work with you and listen, and makes great suggestions. She’s passionate about what she does and it shows. Thank you!

Leslye was amazing!!! My lips are still slightly swollen since it’s only been three days but I can tell that the shape and size of my lips are exactly what I wanted. A total difference from the previous time I received filler and got duck lips as a result. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very skilled. Listened to what I wanted and provided!

Dr. Church and the nursing staff were all incredible, attentive, and welcoming. Dr. Church was recommended to me by an acquaintance for a breast reduction. I came in for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone I met. Pricing and scheduling are very reasonable and accommodating as well. Surgery day and post op all went very smoothly and I never felt like an inconvenience with all my questions or concerns. I highly recommend for any cosmetic treatments.
