Liposuction - Woodlands, TX

Liposuction is a method of selective body fat removal, and one of the most commonly sought cosmetic procedures among men and women in The Woodlands.  By removing unwanted fat deposits, liposuction can be very effective in sculpting the body, improving body contour in many areas.

Liposuction can remove unwanted fat from these and other body areas:

  • Hips
  • Abdomen
  • Buttocks
  • Back
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Neck/Chin

How Liposuction Removes Body Fat

Liposuction is performed using a narrow tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through tiny incisions and used to suction unwanted fat deposits from targeted areas of the body. Results can be noticed soon after surgery, and will become more noticeable as the swelling subsides to reveal a new contour.

Who can benefit from liposuction?

Good candidates for liposuction will be at a stable body weight. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and should be used only to remove stubborn areas of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. The best candidates are healthy individuals with a good degree of skin elasticity. Liposuction is often utilized during other cosmetic procedures such as abdominoplasty, brachioplasty, or the post bariatric body lift.
