Body Sculpting & Contouring - Dallas Liposuction

Are you constantly on a low-fat diet and a routine exercise regimen? You are probably very healthy and are at your optimum body weight. So why can’t you lose the excess bulge around your hips and abdomen? Maybe you’ve lost the weight from your recent pregnancy only to notice now that your body has changed dramatically around the thighs, abdomen and buttocks. Perhaps you have seen a recent photograph of yourself and noticed that you are developing a double chin. You are not alone.

Unfortunately, no diet or exercise program will ever be sufficient to eliminate those localized areas of fat. Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove localized collections of excess fat. It is most often performed in areas which have been resistant to diet, exercise and weight loss. It is best thought of as a method of “body contouring” or “body sculpting” and is not a substitute for weight loss in cases of generalized obesity. The areas that liposuction are most commonly performed on are the chin and neckline, the back, the upper arms, the abdomen and waistline, the hips and buttocks, the thighs and knees, and the calves and ankles. 

Liposuction is performed by introducing a blunt, hollow tube, called a cannula, through a small (quarter inch), inconspicuous incision. The cannula is connected to a suction machine which removes the fat. The tumescent technique is performed by injecting a solution into each surgical site prior to performing the liposuction. The solution decreases swelling, bruising and postoperative pain. New additional modalities of treatment, such as laser liposuction, are constantly being evaluated. However, the experience of the surgeon is of paramount importance. Postoperative compression garments are worn for several weeks after surgery.

Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis, using IV sedation and local anesthesia in our AAAHC accredited facility. You should be able to return to work during the first week after surgery and resume all normal activities, including exercise, in two weeks.
