In-Office Lipo Can Smooth & Sculpt These Areas
In-office liposuction targets localized fat in common problem areas:
Abdomen
Reduce the lower belly bulge that persists despite core training.
Flanks
Get rid of love handles that create bulk around your midsection.
Thighs
Address inner thigh rubbing or outer thigh saddlebags.
Upper Arms
Eliminate the fat that hangs when you raise your arms.
Chin & Neck
Remove submental fat to sharpen your jawline.
Back or Bra Line
Eliminate bulges that show through fitted tops.
Hips
Smooth out uneven areas for better overall shape.
What Makes In-Office Liposuction Different?
It’s a scaled-down version of traditional liposuction designed for smaller problem areas. Instead of an operating room and general anesthesia, you get local numbing and an office-based procedure. In-office lipo works best for localized fat, not full-body recontouring.
Local Anesthesia & In-Office Convenience
Dr. Reilly numbs the treatment area, makes small incisions, and removes the fat using a thin cannula. You’re awake and aware, but you won’t feel pain. Because it’s done in the office, there’s no anesthesiologist, no recovery room, and no hospital paperwork.
Minimal Downtime for Recovery
Recovery is measured in days, not weeks. You’ll have swelling and tenderness, but most patients manage fine with over-the-counter pain medication. Light desk work is usually fine after 2-3 days. More physical jobs might require 4-5 days off.
Eliminate Stubborn Fat
Once John Reilly removes fat cells, they’re gone for good. Your body doesn’t create new fat cells. If you maintain your weight, your results should remain stable, though future weight gain can still occur and typically distributes more evenly. In-office liposuction is ideal for small, targeted areas and precise contouring. If a larger volume of fat needs to be removed, traditional liposuction in a surgical setting may be the better option.

Norwalk's Choice for In-Office Lipo: John Reilly, M.D.
Dr. Reilly has built his reputation on being thorough and straightforward. Patients say he’s the most detailed surgeon they’ve consulted with. He doesn’t rush through explanations, and he doesn’t pressure you to book. His approach is simple: understand your problem, determine if in-office lipo solves it, and give you the information you need to decide.
Care Centered Around Your Goals
Dr. Reilly evaluates your body and listens to what’s bothering you before suggesting a treatment plan. If in-office lipo won’t give you the result you want, he’ll explain why. If traditional lipo in an operating room makes more sense, he’ll walk you through that option instead.
Honest, No-Pressure Consultations
You’ll meet with Dr. Reilly directly. He’ll examine the areas you want treated, explain what’s realistic, and discuss recovery expectations. If you need time to think about it or decide it’s not for you, that’s fine. There’s no hard sell here.
Smooth, Effortless Results
Dr. Reilly’s goal is to create balanced, proportional contours. He removes fat carefully to avoid creating irregularities or asymmetry. The improvement should look deliberate but not obvious, like you finally got the results your diet and exercise should have delivered.

Questions About In-Office Lipo? Start Here
In-office lipo is performed under local anesthesia and treats limited areas. Traditional lipo uses general anesthesia in an operating room and can address multiple large areas simultaneously. Traditional lipo involves more extensive recovery but delivers more comprehensive body contouring.
You’re a candidate if you have specific pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise, you’re within 15-20 pounds of your ideal weight, and your skin has reasonable elasticity. Dr. Reilly will confirm your candidacy during the consultation.
Yes, in the sense that removed fat cells don’t come back. But if you gain weight after the procedure, your remaining fat cells will expand. Maintain your weight and the results last indefinitely.
Most patients feel okay to return to sedentary work within 2-4 days. Swelling peaks around day 3-4, then gradually improves. You’ll wear compression for about two weeks. Most physical activities can resume around week 2-3, depending on intensity.
