With liposuction, you can eliminate stubborn fat deposits to attain the slim, toned physique you’ve always craved.
Few things are more frustrating than working your butt off in the gym and maintaining a healthy diet only to be stuck with stubborn pockets of excess fat. Even if you succeed in losing weight, fat bulges tend to stick around in certain areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, necks, and buttocks. Because attaining a slim, youthful figure can be so challenging, there’s nothing wrong with getting a bit of help. If you’re interested in a safe way to thoroughly eliminate one or more excess fat deposits from your body, liposuction in Austin could be an ideal solution.
Liposuction in Austin performed by one of our expert plastic surgeons can provide you with all of the following benefits:
Most patients need to take anywhere from a few days to a week off work after undergoing liposuction surgery. Additionally, you’ll need to wear a special compression garment 24 hours a day for around three weeks, then only at night for another three weeks. During your recovery, you can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, and you shouldn’t engage in strenuous physical activity for at least three to four weeks.
Adults looking to eliminate one or more excess fat deposits could be good candidates for liposuction. The best candidates for the procedure are dealing with stubborn fat that has been resistant to dieting and exercise. To be an ideal candidate for liposuction in Austin, it’s also important that you’re in good physical health, relatively close to your ideal weight, and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Additionally, you should be a non-smoker, have realistic expectations, and understand that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure.

Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction does come with certain risks. However, it is generally considered to be a very safe procedure, and at Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, our surgeons always practice precision and attention to detail to ensure the health and safety of the patient.
Depending on the area of the body being treated and the amount of excess fat being targeted, liposuction can typically take anywhere from one to three hours to complete.
Although liposuction does remove stubborn fat deposits, it should not be viewed as a weight loss procedure. Usually, the amount of weight lost during the surgery is minimal. Plus, to maintain the results of liposuction, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are gone for good, and they’ll never return. However, the procedure does not prevent new fat cells from accumulating in the area, which is why it’s so important to maintain a healthy lifestyle if you want your results to be permanent.
