Understanding Liposuction: Precision Fat Removal

Liposuction offers a targeted solution for eliminating stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. Typical problem areas include the stomach, hips, thighs, upper arms, back, neck, and ankles. This procedure is particularly effective for patients at a stable, healthy weight seeking body contouring.

Candidacy for Liposuction in Houston

Ideal candidates have taut skin and are near their target weight. The procedure targets specific fat deposits and is not a weight loss solution. Dr. Bidros carefully evaluates each patient to set realistic expectations and ensure optimal outcomes.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Bidros utilizes a precise suction cannula technique, making small, strategically placed incisions to minimize visible scarring. The procedure can be performed independently or combined with complementary body contouring surgeries for comprehensive results.

Recovery and Results

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Patients can expect 4-6 weeks of healing, with initial swelling subsiding to reveal refined body contours. Following post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal recovery.

Fat Transfer Possibilities

Patients may opt to transfer removed fat to other body areas, such as the face, buttocks, or breasts, providing additional body sculpting opportunities.

Long-Term Maintenance

While removed fat cells cannot regenerate, remaining cells can expand with significant weight gain. Dr. Bidros recommends maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to preserve liposuction results.
