Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific regions of the body, helping to sculpt and enhance overall body shape. Dr. Patrick Obasi and our other surgeons at Noble Cosmetic Surgery employs this technique to effectively target and reduce fat in the breasts, buttocks, hips, and other areas where stubborn fat often lingers despite diet and exercise. During the procedure, small incisions are made near the treatment area, through which a cannula is inserted to suction out the fat. This process not only reduces fat but also contours the body to achieve a more desirable and streamlined silhouette.
Liposuction in Plano, TX and Desoto, TX, is ideal for those who are close to their optimal weight but struggle with persistent fat deposits that do not respond to traditional weight-loss methods. Suitable candidates are those who have firm, elastic skin and realistic expectations about the results. Improvements from liposuction are typically visible shortly after the procedure, with the final results becoming more evident as the body heals and swelling subsides over the following months. The outcomes of liposuction can be long-lasting, provided that patients maintain a stable weight and adhere to a healthy lifestyle. If you’re considering this procedure to refine your body contours, contact Noble Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, TX, and Desoto, TX, to schedule a consultation and learn more about how liposuction can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Good candidates for Liposuction are those who are at or near their ideal weight, have localized fat deposits, possess good skin elasticity, and do not have significant medical conditions that could impair healing.
Initial results from Liposuction are visible soon after the procedure, although it may take several months for the final outcomes as the body fully recovers and residual swelling diminishes.
The results from Liposuction can be long-lasting, provided the patient maintains a stable weight. Fat cells removed during Liposuction do not regrow; however, gaining weight can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, affecting the overall effect.
Downtime after Liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically resolve within a few weeks.
Before Liposuction, patients should avoid certain medications and supplements that could increase bleeding. After the procedure, it is crucial to follow postoperative care instructions, wear compression garments if recommended, and gradually resume physical activities as advised by the surgeon.
During Liposuction, anesthesia is administered for comfort. Small incisions are made, and a cannula is used to vacuum out fat from targeted areas. Techniques such as tumescent, ultrasound-assisted, or laser lipolysis might be used depending on the specific needs and goals of the patient. The procedure usually lasts several hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
