What Is Liposuction Surgery?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized adipose tissue that is unresponsive to lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. The technique involves the use of a cannula connected to a vacuum system, which applies negative pressure to aspirate subcutaneous fat.
Advanced modalities, such as VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction, utilize ultrasound energy to selectively emulsify adipocytes prior to suction, facilitating more precise fat removal with reduced trauma to surrounding tissues. In select cases, patients may benefit from adjunctive soft tissue tightening through the integration of Renuvion technology. Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to induce controlled subdermal coagulation, promoting collagen remodeling and enhanced tissue contraction.
Our surgeons, will assess your individual anatomy and aesthetic objectives to determine the most effective surgical approach. A comprehensive consultation is essential to evaluate candidacy and discuss the benefits and limitations of each technique. To schedule a consultation with your surgeon and explore your options for liposuction, please contact our office at 801-785-8825.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons bring over 25 years of combined experience and have performed thousands of liposuction procedures. We offer both traditional liposuction and VASER liposuction, as well as non-surgical fat reduction treatments, enabling Dr. Crofts to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with each patient’s lifestyle and individual needs.
Committed to providing the safest and most advanced care, Aesthetica Plastic Surgery utilizes VASER liposuction—the latest innovation in body contouring. VASER, which stands for Vibratory Amplification of Sound Energy by Resonance, facilitates the targeted aspiration of fat with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This technology allows for a more precise and efficient procedure, resulting in less trauma, faster recovery, and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
By combining VASER with traditional liposuction, patients typically experience a smoother, less painful recovery. The postoperative course for VASER closely mirrors that of conventional liposuction but offers distinct advantages, including reduced pain, swelling, downtime, and a lower risk of skin irregularities and overall discomfort.
Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss questions and review what you would like changed through surgery. Your Plastic surgeon will discuss the details of the procedure and create a surgical plan with you. Our office staff will provide you with a surgery quote and can help schedule a surgery date at that time.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Your surgery will take place at our surigical facility in Lindon, Utah. This is generally a 1 to 6 hour procedure and you will be released home on the same day.
Generally, you will be seen 1 to 3 days after surgery and again 4 to 5 days later. Further post operative appointments will continue and be dependent upon your recovery.
Recovery following liposuction surgery generally requires approximately three weeks of refraining from lifting and strenuous exercise. Patients are typically advised to wear a compression garment for six weeks to help minimize bruising and swelling. At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, postoperative care and patient safety remain our utmost priorities. We conduct regular follow-up appointments to closely monitor healing and ensure recovery progresses smoothly. Additionally, patients have 24-hour access to an on-call nurse for any urgent concerns or emergencies.
Experience the results, notice the transformation, and embrace your renewed confidence. Liposuction sculpts a natural contour to the body, helping patients achieve a look that enhances their self-assurance and well-being.
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
I am a 33 yr old female. My liposuction results on my legs were beyond my expectations! I am thrilled. I always had trouble areas on my inner and outer thighs that would never tone up no matter how much weight I lost. Dr. Crofts is a professional, kind, and extraordinary surgeon. He also did my breast augmentation in 2010 and was a perfectionist. He even stayed 2 hours later in surgery then planned to make sure they were right. He will work hard for you to make sure things are perfect.
I am a 41-year-old female professional and mother of four. I had a Tummy tuck, and Liposuction with Dr. Kimball Crofts at Aesthetica. I am loving my new body. I have been wanting to have these procedures done for years. I have always exercised and eaten healthy, and never was able to improve my problem areas of sagging skin or large upper thighs. I finally decided it was my time and I scheduled a consult. The nurse I saw first was hands down amazing. She was so helpful on providing information so I could make a decision about what I wanted and expectations of surgery. I then met with Dr. Crofts and we discussed further my wants and desires. Together they made a potentially very uncomfortable situation for me into a very relaxed and comfortable environment. From start to finish Dr. Crofts, along with his nurses, took time, sat down with me, explained every details of what to expect, including understanding the healing time and the tricks and tips to healing best from a big surgery. From the time a scheduled my first appointment and walked into the office of Dr. Crofts for a consultation I knew I was in the right place. The front office staff and nurses make you feel welcomed and comfortable, even though I was discussing the most vulnerable areas of my body. I am about a month out and feeling great. I am so grateful for the AMAZING TEAM @ AESTHETICA. Dr. Crofts is a perfectionist and it show in his work. Together with his nurse’s Amy and Andrea, they go above and beyond for their patients, this is why I had an exceptional experience with incredible results. I highly recommend Dr. Crofts and the team at Aesthetica to everyone! Thank you kindly.
We couldn't be happier with the results of my daughter's breast reduction. Dr. Crofts is certainly a perfectionist and a very skilled plastic surgeon. My 17 yr old daughter went from a 32H to a 32C, which looks perfect on her frame. Dr Crofts did some side liposuction to get perfect contouring and gave her the wound vacs which made for a very easy and worry-free recovery. Everyone in Dr Crofts' office is so kind and they really care about their patients. We highly recommend Dr Crofts and his fabulous medical staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have loose skin after liposuction?
When combined with liposuction, Renuvion addresses loose skin by utilizing a unique combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to target connective tissues, resulting in a skin-tightening effect. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
Will I have scars after liposuction?
Most patients have very small, minimal scars just big enough for the liposuction cannula to fit. The incisions are made as discreetly as possible.
How much does liposuction cost in Utah?
The price of liposuction starts at $5,500 for the first area and each additional area starts at $3,400. The overall cost of liposuction surgery varies by the areas you’d like to address. This price includes expenses for the operating room, anesthesia, and surgical fees. Once you come in for a consultation with Dr. Crofts, you will receive a quote for the cost of your surgery.
Will my liposuction results last?
Humans have a finite number of fat cells that are established in adulthood; once these cells are removed through procedures such as liposuction, they do not regenerate. However, the remaining fat cells can still enlarge if weight is gained after surgery. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight management regimen to preserve and enjoy the long-term results of your procedure.
