Liposuction in Statesboro, GA
Consultations and follow-up visits at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way, with surgery at RenewalASC, our accredited surgery center in Savannah.
Liposuction for Statesboro Patients
Some fat does not respond to effort. You can eat carefully and keep moving and still carry the same fullness at the belly, the flanks, the thighs, the arms, or under the chin. Liposuction removes those deposits directly. It is body contouring, not weight loss, and it works best when you are near a weight you can hold.
For patients in Statesboro and Bulloch County, your consultation and follow-up visits take place at our office on Merchant Way. Dr. Meghan McGovern will look at the areas that concern you, check how well your skin is likely to tighten afterward, and tell you honestly what removing fat can and cannot do. If your skin has some laxity, she may suggest adding Renuvion, which tightens the skin in the same session. The procedure is performed at RenewalASC, our accredited ambulatory surgery center in Savannah, and takes 1 to 3 hours.
Liposuction at RenewalMD typically costs $6,000 to $10,000, depending on how many areas are treated. Most patients take 3 to 7 days off work and recover over 2 to 4 weeks. Final contours settle in over about a year. Individual results vary.
What Patients Say
Before & After
Real patients, real results. These images show actual liposuction outcomes achieved by Dr. McGovern.
Is Liposuction Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to see if liposuction could be a good fit for you — or take the full Renewal Assessment for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect
Some fat deposits hold on no matter how carefully you eat or how hard you train. Liposuction removes that stubborn fat for good, and Dr. McGovern shapes the result into natural body contours.
Ideal Candidates
Near-ideal-weight patients with localized fat deposits in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin, or back.
The Consultation
Dr. McGovern will evaluate your trouble spots and determine the best liposuction technique for your goals.
The Procedure
Small incisions are made, and a thin cannula suctions out fat cells, which do not return. Performed under local or general anesthesia.
Recovery
Most patients return to work in 3-7 days. Compression garments worn 4-6 weeks. Final contours visible at 3-6 months.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern views liposuction as precision body sculpting. She creates smooth, natural transitions between treated and untreated areas.
She works to leave the remaining fat layer smooth and even, not lumpy or uneven — that close attention is what separates a refined result from one that is merely adequate.
Plan Your Downtime
You must start walking immediately. Expect the areas to be bruised and swollen, and expect a large amount of clear or blood-tinged drainage — that's usual and expected.
Compression on, walking immediately
If you had suction of your arms, flanks, back, knees, thighs, hips, or abdomen, you have a compression garment on at the end of surgery. The extra pressure helps reduce swelling and discomfort. Expect bruising, swelling, and a large amount of clear or blood-tinged drainage on the dressing or garment.
Do this
- Start walking immediately.
- Only remove the garment to shower or for laundering.
- Wear TED hose always except to shower.
- Drink plenty of fluids to maintain hydration.
- Get up and walk four or five times a day.
- Always lie with your feet elevated above the level of your heart.
- Always have your legs elevated if sitting in a chair.
Avoid
- No bending, stooping, or lifting.
- No strenuous activities or aerobic exercise.
- Do not sit in a chair with knees bent and feet on the floor.
- Do not smoke or use any form of nicotine.
- Avoid long automobile trips or flights.

Why Statesboro Patients Choose RenewalMD
Consultations and follow-ups stay local
Your consultation, pre-operative visit, and post-operative checks take place in Statesboro. Only the procedure itself is done at RenewalASC in Savannah, about an hour away.
Smooth transitions, not just less fat
Dr. McGovern uses tumescent techniques and works to leave the remaining fat layer even, with gentle transitions between treated and untreated areas. That attention is what keeps a result from looking lumpy.
Skin tightening when you need it
Fat removal alone can leave loose skin behind if elasticity is limited. Renuvion helium plasma can be added in the same session, which may spare some patients the longer scar of a tummy tuck.
An honest candidate conversation
Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. If another approach, such as a tummy tuck or a non-surgical option, would serve you better, you will hear that at your consultation.
Dr. Meghan McGovern, board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, performs every liposuction procedure herself, and she sees Statesboro consultations and follow-ups at the Merchant Way office.

Statesboro Questions
How much does liposuction cost in Statesboro?
Liposuction at RenewalMD typically costs $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the number of areas treated. Your consultation produces an exact quote. We accept Cherry, PatientFi, and CareCredit financing, and Cherry offers 0% interest plans of 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, subject to credit approval.
Do I have to drive to Savannah for liposuction?
Only for the procedure itself. Your consultation, pre-op visit, and post-op checks can be done at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way. Liposuction is performed at RenewalASC in Savannah and takes 1 to 3 hours.
Will the fat come back?
Fat cells that are removed do not come back. The fat cells that remain can still grow with significant weight gain, so a stable weight protects your result.
How many areas can be treated at once?
Several areas can often be treated in one session. Dr. McGovern weighs total operating time and your health history to decide what is safe to combine.
What is recovery like?
Most patients take 3 to 7 days off work and wear a compression garment while the swelling goes down. Recovery takes 2 to 4 weeks, and your contours keep refining for up to a year.
