Why Choose Dr. Mathew Plant for Your Liposuction?
As a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in body aesthetics, Dr. Mathew Plant is a trusted expert in liposuction techniques. His highly personalized approach respects your underlying anatomy to refine and contour your shape. Liposuction isn’t about removing as much fat as possible, its about removing it selectively and respecting the adjacent structures so that the area(s) being targeted still look like they belong with the rest of the body. With a meticulous attention to detail, he and his team ensure that excess fat is removed strategically, enhancing your natural proportions while maintaining even contours.
Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, Dr. Plant customizes every liposuction procedure to your unique proportions and aesthetic vision, ensuring a sculpted, natural-looking result. Every liposuction procedure begins with SAFELipo, an advanced 3-step liposuction technique that stands for Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization. This technique helps reduce swelling, bruising, and irregularities, resulting in a more natural-looking, even outcome and a quicker recovery.
Depending on your specific needs Dr. Plant may add other technologies and techniques to achieve your specific goals. With a focus on patient comfort, safety, and precision, he delivers results that help you feel more confident in your body at any stage of life.
How Liposuction Sculpts and Reveals Your Natural Shape
Liposuction is about more than fat removal—it’s about sculpting and refining your natural proportions for a more defined look. By targeting stubborn fat that diet and exercise can’t eliminate, liposuction helps enhance body balance while maintaining a natural shape.
At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team specialize in a <variety of liposuction techniques, each designed to provide precise, tailored results. Techniques include:
- Tumescent Liposuction – A widely used method that minimizes discomfort, ensuring uniform fat removal.
- SAFELipo – an advanced 3-step liposuction technique that stands for Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization. Fat is gently separated before removal, allowing for smoother contouring with less trauma to surrounding tissues. Following the removal the remaining fat is equalized, smoothing the final contour.
- VASER Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction – Uses sound waves to liquefy fat, making removal easier in fibrous areas like the upper abdomen, back or male chest.
- Renuvion/J-Plasma – a minimally invasive treatment that uses plasma energy to tighten skin and enhance results by improving definition and contour.
By combining artistic precision with expert techniques, Dr. Plant ensures that liposuction enhances your natural silhouette while preserving proportional results that feel right for your body.
Is Liposuction Available for Men?

Liposuction Customized to Your Unique Anatomy
Dr. Mathew Plant tailors every liposuction procedure to the patient’s body, goals, and anatomy, using advanced techniques to achieve smooth, natural-looking results. Whether refining specific areas or complementing other procedures, liposuction can effectively remove stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Depending on exactly what will best achieve your goals, Dr. Plant will use one or more of these liposuction techniques during your procedure:
Tumescent Liposuction
The most common technique, this method uses a specialized fluid (tumescent solution) that is infiltrated into the treatment area to numb it, constrict blood vessels, and loosen fat for easier removal. It minimizes bruising, decreases discomfort after the procedure and speeds up recovery.
VASER/Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Uses ultrasonic waves to liquefy fat before removal, making it easier to extract from denser tissue. Often used in male chest contouring (gynecomastia surgery) or revision liposuction.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Uses a special attachment that vibrates the liposuction cannula to allow it to gently remove the fat more efficiently, decreasing the number of passes needed to achieve the same goal and shortening the time under anaesthesia. This is combined with tumescent liposuction for the safest possible procedure.
SAFELipo
The evolution of power assisted liposuction, this is usually the foundation of all of Dr. Plant’s liposuction procedures. It is an advanced 3-step technique that makes for the smoothest contours and the lowest risk of contour irregularities. In fact, it was originally designed to correct irregularities left behind from older techniques, something that Dr. Plant does often as part of revision liposuction procedures he performs on patients who have had a less than stellar outcome elsewhere.
In step 1, Separation, a special cannula is used without any suction to gently loosen and emulsifies fat before removal, allowing for smoother contouring with less trauma to surrounding tissues.
In step 2, Aspiration, Dr. Plant removes the separated fat using gentler cannulas more efficiently and with less bruising than traditional liposuction.
In step 3, Fat Equalization, a special cannula is again used without any suction to smooth and redistribute the remaining fat to create even contours and prevent irregularities.

Liposuction: Your Questions, Answered
View AllWhat is liposuction?
Do you offer liposuction for men?
Yes, Dr. Plant offers liposuction for men seeking a more sculpted and defined physique. Male patients often choose liposuction to target areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest, and jawline to enhance muscle definition and create a leaner, more athletic appearance.
Liposuction for men is tailored to preserve masculine contours, ensuring a natural and proportional result. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the most effective outcome.
Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you are at or near your ideal weight but have localized fat deposits that are resistant to lifestyle changes. Liposuction can help contour and reshape specific areas for a leaner, more sculpted look.
During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your anatomy, medical history, and goals to determine if liposuction is the right option for you. His personalized approach ensures that your results are natural and enhance your overall proportions.
How long does lipsuction take?
The length of a liposuction procedure depends on the number of areas being treated and the amount of fat being removed. Most procedures take one to three hours and are performed under local or general anesthesia for comfort.
Liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning most patients can go home the same day.
What results can I expect from liposuction?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits and refines your natural contours for a smoother, more sculpted appearance. The results are immediate, but you will notice continued improvements as swelling subsides over several weeks.
Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure that your results are balanced and proportional, enhancing your natural shape while maintaining a smooth, natural look.
How soon will I see results from liposuction?
You’ll notice a difference in body shape immediately after liposuction, but swelling is normal in the weeks following surgery. Most patients see their final results within three to six months as the swelling fully resolves.
Dr. Plant provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you optimize your recovery and achieve the best possible outcome.
How long is the recovery period after liposuction?
Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat removed. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines within one to two weeks.
At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Yes, liposuction results are long-lasting, as the removed fat cells do not grow back. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is essential to preserve your new shape.
To ensure optimal healing and long-term satisfaction, Dr. Plant uses advanced surgical techniques that promote smooth, natural-looking results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following proper post-surgical care will help preserve your outcome. During your follow-up care, Dr. Plant and his team provide personalized guidance to support your healing and ensure your results last for years to come.
Are there risks associated with liposuction?
Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include swelling, temporary numbness, fluid accumulation, or minor contour irregularities.
Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using advanced techniques to minimize risks and promote optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
Does liposuction tighten loose skin?
Liposuction removes fat, but it does not tighten loose skin. If you have significant skin laxity, Dr. Plant may recommend skin tightening treatments or a surgical lift in combination with liposuction to achieve the best results.
During your consultation, he will assess your skin elasticity and recommend the most effective approach for your body and aesthetic goals.
How much does liposuction cost in Toronto?
The cost of liposuction varies based on the treatment area and the extent of the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will provide a detailed estimate after assessing your goals and developing a customized surgical plan.
While cost is a factor, choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon ensures the quality, safety, and long-term success of your results.
Can I combine liposuction with other plastic surgery procedures?
Yes, liposuction is often combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. Many patients choose to have liposuction as part of a mommy makeover or alongside a tummy tuck to enhance overall body contouring.
