About the Liposuction Procedure
One of the main reasons for liposuction’s popularity is its versatility. Rather than being limited to sculpting and redefining one area of the body, it can create sweeping transformations and enhanced results that many of us can only dream of achieving with standard diet and exercise strategies. Liposuction in Fort Worth removes excess fat from targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. It can also be performed alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve comprehensive results.
It is important to note that liposuction is not an obesity treatment. It is a body contouring procedure, and trust us when we say there is a difference. It may also not be the best solution for irregular body contours (i.e., overly stretched skin from pregnancy) on its own. That said, when combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction has been shown to lead to excellent results.
How Is Liposuction in Fort Worth Performed?
Liposuction in Fort Worth is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of correction needed. Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell start by making incisions (often as small as 1/4 inch) in inconspicuous areas, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to loosen and suction out the fat.
Our doctors are masters of their craft and do everything they can to facilitate fat removal in the most efficient way possible to minimize bruising. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and a compression garment is worn to support healing.
What Does Recovery from Liposuction Look Like?
Recovery from liposuction in Fort Worth varies depending on the extent of the procedure. That said, most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week. Swelling and bruising are common but typically resolve within a few weeks. To support recovery and smooth the skin, it is important to wear special garments that apply pressure to your surgical site. Our staff will discuss these options with you. The final results become visible once the swelling subsides, revealing a more sculpted, contoured body.
