Patients ready to address stubborn pockets of fat that don’t budge with diet or exercise, Power Plastic Surgery offers liposuction for Oakville residents, performed by Dr. Stephanie Power, a board-certified, Ivy League-trained plastic surgeon practicing at her fully accredited Toronto surgical facility. Oakville patients regularly make the short trip along the QEW for a procedure built around precision, safety, and results that look proportionate to their frame, never overdone. Below, learn what liposuction can (and can’t) do, who tends to get the best results, and what Oakville patients should know before booking a consultation.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes pockets of fat that remain despite a stable weight and consistent exercise. Using a thin cannula and controlled suction, Dr. Power sculpts smoother, more balanced contours in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or under the chin. It’s worth setting the right expectation from the outset: liposuction refines shape, it doesn’t produce weight loss. Patients who see the most natural, satisfying results are already close to their goal weight and simply want to address specific areas that haven’t responded to lifestyle changes.
Areas We Commonly Treat
Dr. Power tailors technique to the treatment area and the patient’s tissue quality. The areas Oakville patients ask about most often include:
- Abdomen and waist
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back and bra line
- Chin and jawline
Many patients treat more than one area in a single session. Which combination makes sense for you, and which technique suits each area, is something Dr. Power will map out at your consultation.
Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction tends to work best for patients who are:
- Within roughly 10–15% of their goal weight, with stubborn, localized fat rather than overall excess weight
- In good general health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions
- Non-smokers, or willing to stop smoking well before and after surgery
- Working with skin that has reasonable elasticity, so it can contract smoothly to the new contour
- Approaching the procedure with realistic, proportionate goals
Final candidacy is always confirmed during an in-person consultation, where Dr. Power reviews your health history and goals in detail.
Combining Liposuction with Other Procedures
A number of Oakville patients pursuing liposuction ask about pairing it with a tummy tuck, a breast lift, or as part of a full mommy makeover, combining procedures under a single anesthetic and recovery period, rather than scheduling separate surgeries and separate drives in from Oakville. Whether combination surgery is appropriate for you depends on your health history, the areas involved, and your recovery timeline, and it’s a conversation Dr. Power will walk through with you at your consultation.
What to Expect: Consultation Through Recovery
Your first visit includes a review of your health history and goals, a physical exam of the treatment areas, and a conversation about which technique and areas make sense for you. On surgery day, liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthetic or conscious sedation, depending on the extent of treatment. Afterward, most patients wear a compression garment, return to desk-based work within about a week, and avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for about a month while final results settle in over the following months.
Why Oakville Patients Choose Dr. Power for Liposuction
Dr. Power trained at Princeton before earning her medical degree at the University of Western Ontario, became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada in 2013, and completed advanced fellowship training at the University of Toronto. For a procedure like liposuction, where technique and judgment directly affect how natural the final contour looks, that depth of training matters. Oakville patients consistently point to her meticulous, individualized approach. She plans each case around a patient’s own proportions and anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all outcome, paired with the safety standards of an accredited surgical facility that follows Health Quality Ontario protocols from pre-op check-in through discharge.
