What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure designed to permanently remove fat cells from targeted areas. It is not a weight-loss procedure—but an elite reshaping tool. At VG Signature, we specialize in both standard liposuction and advanced modalities such as:
- 360° Liposuction – Circumferential contouring of the waist, flanks, abdomen, and back
- HD Liposuction (High-Definition Lipo) – Sculpting to reveal natural muscle definition and tone
- Abdominal Etching – Precision fat removal to enhance the visibility of the rectus ("six-pack") and obliques
- Gynecomastia Treatment – Combining liposuction with tissue excision to masculinize the chest
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits to improve body contour and enhance proportional balance.

Liposuction Tampa | Sculpt Your Body with Precision
At VG Signature, we don’t just remove fat—we sculpt the body like a work of art. If you're struggling with stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise, liposuction in Tampa by Dr. Vipul Gargya delivers elevated results that go far beyond the ordinary.
From 360° liposuction to HD liposuction with abdominal muscle etching, our focus is precision, symmetry, and refinement. Whether it's restoring your waistline, defining your six-pack, or treating gynecomastia in men, every case is uniquely tailored to your anatomy and vision.
Our Liposuction Process
Your consultation begins with an in-depth assessment by Dr. Vipul Gargya, a board-certified plastic surgeon known for meticulous technique and elevated aesthetic outcomes.
The surgery itself is performed using small, hidden incisions. A thin cannula is used to gently extract fat while maintaining contour harmony. Dr. Gargya uses layered sculpting techniques to ensure smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas—never the "dented" or overdone look.
This is not suction. This is sculpture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction Tampa
Q.1 Is liposuction the same as weight loss?
Answer: No. Liposuction removes targeted fat but is not a substitute for losing weight. It’s ideal for reshaping areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Q.2 What is HD liposuction?
Answer: HD (high-definition) liposuction is a more advanced technique that highlights underlying muscle anatomy—especially in the abdomen, chest, and back. It’s ideal for athletic patients seeking a lean, defined look.
Q.3 Can liposuction treat gynecomastia?
Answer: Yes. Liposuction is often the foundation of gynecomastia treatment, combined with glandular excision if needed. The result is a flatter, more masculine chest.
Q.4 What is the recovery like after Liposuction?
Answer: Recovery after liposuction is generally smooth and well tolerated. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, and many resume work within the first week, depending on the areas treated. You can expect swelling and mild soreness as your body heals. Wearing your compression garment as directed helps reduce swelling and supports your new contour. Dr. Gargya provides a detailed, personalized recovery plan to ensure you heal comfortably and safely while maintaining the precision of your results.
Q.5 Is abdominal etching permanent?
Answer: Yes, when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, abdominal etching and HD lipo provide long-term results by selectively removing fat over muscle grooves.
Q.6 Who is an ideal candidate for Liposuction?
Answer: Ideal candidates are individuals who are at or near their goal weight yet struggle with localized fat pockets that do not respond to diet or exercise. Good skin elasticity, excellent overall health, and clear, realistic expectations are essential for achieving the smooth and natural contours that define a VG Signature result.
Q.7 What kind of results can I expect from Liposuction?
Answer: Liposuction refines and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing stubborn fat to create a slimmer, more sculpted silhouette. Early improvements appear as swelling decreases, and your final contour becomes more defined over the following months. When paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the results are long-lasting and remain harmonious with your natural frame.
Q.8 Will I have visible scars after Liposuction?
Answer: Liposuction scars are small and strategically placed in natural creases or hidden locations. At VG Signature, each incision is positioned with meticulous attention to detail so that scars are discreet and often barely visible once healed. With proper care, including sun protection and our recommended scar-management protocol, most patients find their scars fade significantly over time and remain unobtrusive.
Q.9 What is the cost of Liposuction in Tampa?
Answer: Liposuction pricing at VG Signature is fully individualized. Your investment depends on the number of areas treated, the volume of fat to be removed, and the level of sculpting required to achieve a balanced, refined contour. Once Dr. Gargya evaluates your anatomy and goals during consultation, you will receive a transparent, personalized quote that reflects the precision and artistry of the VG Signature approach.
