Liposuction in Kerrville and Houston, TX

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excessive fat deposits from any part of the body in order to improve the proportions and contours of the body. In order to perform the procedure, a small incision is made through which a thin tube is inserted, termed a cannula, which suctions out the fat through the incision. It can effectively treat areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, and back while providing a more sculpted and toned appearance. Liposuction is particularly useful for targeting stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.

Liposuction in Kerrville, TX and Houston, TX, is an ideal weight loss solution for people close to their ideal weight but have trouble losing localized fat deposits. It is typically possible to see the results as soon as the swelling subsides, which can sometimes take a few weeks. The effects of liposuction are long-lasting, provided a stable weight is maintained.

FAQs

Who is a good candidate?

A good candidate for this procedure is an individual who is near their ideal weight but whose stubborn fat deposits do not respond to exercise or diet.

When will I see the results?

The results can be seen right after the swelling has subsided, typically within a few weeks after treatment.

How long do results last?

It is important to maintain a stable weight for the results to last.

Is there any downtime or side effects?

There is some downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days to a week. Swelling, bruising, and numbness are some of this treatment’s most common side effects.

What should I do before and after this treatment?

Before treatment, maintain a stable weight and avoid certain medications. After treatment, follow the surgeon’s instructions, wear compression garments, and avoid strenuous activities.

What can I expect during this treatment?

Small incisions are made during liposuction, and a cannula is used to suction out fat. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed under anesthesia.

How Long Does Liposuction Recovery Last?

Recovery from liposuction varies due to open incisions for drainage, requiring surgical or compression bandages, and follow-up visits with Dr. Layton. It’s essential to have someone accompany you to help you get home and assist at home for a few days, especially if multiple areas were treated. Plan to take time off work and follow any prescribed medications or antibiotics. Be aware that the contours of treated areas will change as your body adjusts, and it takes time to see the final results.

Is Liposuction a Good Option for the Neck?

Neck liposuction is an effective 30-minute, in-office procedure under local anesthesia that reduces the appearance of a double chin by eliminating excess fat. It is ideal for patients with minimal sagging skin. For those with loose or sagging skin, FaceTite™ is recommended, as it both removes fat and tightens the skin.
