Liposuction

Serving Houston, Pearland, Sugarland and Friendswood

Liposuction is a successful solution for those who wish to lose some fat around any area of their bodies. Liposuction can target focused areas that do not respond well to traditional weight loss means such as diet and exercise. The end result is a fitter, more svelte body; thanks to liposuction, you can finally fit into that skinny pair of pants or wear a bathing suit with complete confidence.

As you can target very detailed areas with liposuction, Dr. Lapuerta will be able to assess your body with you at the initial consultation. While people receive the liposuction procedure all over the body, the most commonly targeted areas are the upper arms, thighs, buttocks, stomach, and knees. Liposuction can also be performed on the chin, neck, and cheeks to remove excess fat and promote a slimmer facial appearance.

The recovery time from liposuction surgery varies greatly depending on the extent of your liposuction. Most patients should take things a bit easy for a month to allow the body to heal completely before stressing it. It's essential that you follow the post-operation instructions, and we are here to answer absolutely any questions you have throughout the entire process.

While liposuction is a wonderful step toward the fit body you want, it's important to note that it is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise plan. Once you have fully recovered from the surgery, you should employ a regulated diet and aerobic schedule to ensure you maintain your gorgeous new body. At The Plastic Surgery Institute of Southeast Texas, we're happy to help direct you on your new path as you enjoy your fit, beautiful body.

Liposuction is designed to help individuals achieve the sculpted, fit bodies they desire. While a healthy diet and regular exercise are essential for overall health and well being, there are certain areas of the body that just seem to hang onto excess fat. No matter how many hours you log on the treadmill, this stubborn fat just won't budge.

Thankfully, liposuction provides a viable solution to the problem by removing excess fat from specific areas of the body. People can get liposuction throughout their entire bodies; however, the most common areas are stomach, thighs, buttocks, knees, and upper arms. No matter what area(s) you choose to target, the results are immediately apparent following surgery, and you will continue to see improvement as the swelling from the procedure subsides.

As with any surgery, you can expect some discomfort and fatigue following the procedure, and it's important that you rest for at least two days. Since you lose fluid during the procedure, it's essential you receive fluids immediately after to prevent dehydration and hasten your full recovery. While recovery times vary according to the size of the area on which the liposuction is done, it typically takes between two to 10 days.

Dr. Lapuerta, is an expert in liposuction. Whether you're interested in having a smaller, focused area done or a large, expansive body area, Dr. Lapuerta will be able to help you achieve your ideal body. We also offer full follow-up care, ensuring correct healing and optimal results that will last for years.
