Body Sculpting Liposuction | Columbia, TN | Dr. K. Dwayne Fulks

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a precise body contouring procedure utilizing small cannulas to remove and sculpt fat deposits. This technique targets specific areas that remain resistant to diet and exercise, creating balanced body proportions.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Individuals with excess subcutaneous fat resistant to traditional weight loss methods
Patients near normal body weight seeking permanent contour improvements
Individuals wanting to reshape specific body areas

Target Treatment Areas

Liposuction can effectively address fat deposits in multiple body regions, including:

Neck and chin area
Upper arms and armpits
Male chest
Abdomen and waist
Hips and thighs
Inner knees
Calves and ankles

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. K. Dwayne Fulks performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure, offering multiple anesthesia options for patient comfort and safety. Small suction tubes are inserted through inconspicuous incisions, precisely removing excess fat while maintaining natural body contours.

Anesthesia Options

Local anesthesia
IV sedation
General anesthesia

Recovery and Healing Process

Patients can expect a structured recovery involving compression garments to minimize swelling and support optimal healing. Initial discomfort is managed with oral medication, with most patients experiencing significant improvement within 2-4 weeks.

Typical Recovery Timeline

Compression garment worn for approximately one month
Initial discomfort managed with medication
Bruising and swelling subsides in 2-4 weeks
Final results develop over 2-3 months

Complementary Procedures

To enhance overall body sculpting results, Dr. Fulks may recommend additional procedures such as tummy tuck, breast reduction, thigh lift, or buttock lift during consultation.

Important Considerations

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring technique. The specific risks and individual suitability can only be determined during a personalized consultation. All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, though major complications remain rare.

While many others seem to have had a great experience with this surgeon, my journey was a bit more complicated—and in hindsight, disappointing. I was born with a congenital breast deformity, something I was told he could correct. I even have progress photos, though I’m unsure if I can share them here. From the start, something felt off. His bedside manner left much to be desired—there were several stray remarks that, frankly, could’ve been phrased with more tact or left unsaid entirely. But I tried to stay hopeful. It wasn’t until I consulted a different surgeon that I realized just how over his head Dr. Fulks may have been with my case. He might do well with standard procedures, but for someone like me, the results were far from harmonious. My breasts looked like they belonged to two different people—maybe cousins, but definitely not siblings. Still, the results were better than what I had before, and I tried to be content. But then one implant ruptured, likely due to a faulty product, and I found myself needing another surgery. Unfortunately, his office policies and my insurance clashed, leaving me in a bind. That’s when I found a new surgeon—and the difference was night and day. From the start, the professionalism was clear. I had a team walk me through every step, explaining everything in detail. And when I saw the results post-op, I was stunned. The care, the communication, the outcome—everything was leaps and bounds ahead of my prior experience. If you're looking for genuine quality, compassion, and results, I strongly recommend checking out Vanderbilt Plastic Surgery. The experience there was not only better—it was transformational

I am 6 weeks post op from a bilateral breast reduction and an abdominoplasty. Dr. Fulks was very informative of the surgery and what to expect. He also made it very clear that outcomes can vary from person to person. He did a wonderful Job. The office staff and surgical staff were amazing.

I was in the unfortunate situation where on a consultation I was fondled and photographed without a chaperone or the option of a chaperone (breast reduction surgery)I was overcharged for the consultation and then scolded when I paid it, apparently I was charged $200 and it was to be $50. I was never followed up with after my initial visit. This visit made me feel disrespected and insulted as well as violated. I ended up having the reduction with a very professional plastic surgeon in Michigan. He had a chaperone and NEVER put his hands on my breasts. Be careful ladies.

Dr Fulks did my breast reduction and I couldn’t be happier. He was the best. He was super nice and knowledgeable. Thank you Dr Fulks
