Liposuction in Dallas

Liposuction in Dallas is an effective procedure to remove fat in both men and women. Liposuction is typically performed to reduce disproportionately large hips, buttocks, thighs, protruding abdomen, lateral chest wall (bra fat), or “love handles” above the waist. It helps remove fat on the arms, calves, knees, around the buttocks (the “banana roll”), and under the chin. Liposuction is among the most popular cosmetic procedures due to its high success rate, high safety, and quick recovery. Liposuction in Dallas is one of the most common procedures performed by Dr. Azouz. Request your consultation by calling 972 702 8888.

A liposuction is a critical tool in a variety of plastic surgery procedures including:

Liposuction in Dallas is often performed with other body surgery procedures, such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or breast reduction. This procedure is a solution to stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Some patients benefit most from liposuction and abdominoplasty after losing a significant amount of weight to improve their body contour.

Am I a Liposuction candidate?

Individuals who have localized areas of fat that are disproportionate to the rest of their body can often benefit from this procedure. Ideal candidates will have good skin elasticity, be near their ideal weight, and be non-smokers. A consultation with Dr. Azouz is needed to determine if this procedure is right for you. Liposuction can also be combined with various other procedures for women as a Mommy Makeover and for men in combining gynecomastia surgery with abdominal liposuction.

Liposuction benefits

Liposuction

Liposuction can help remove stubborn fat that you are not able to get rid of with diet and exercise. Liposuction can boost your self-confidence and give you a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Some patients report that after having liposuction surgery they can incorporate exercise into their daily life more easily and feel motivated to continue with a healthy lifestyle.

How is Liposuction performed?

Liposuction in Dallas is performed using the ultrasonic, power-assisted, and tumescent technique. Dr. Azouz also incorporates safe and high definition liposuction. During your consultation, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz will discuss your goals and recommend an individualized procedure to achieve your best outcome.

The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients return home shortly after the procedure has been completed. The recovery period and aftercare instructions will depend on the treatment area’s size and your natural healing process. Dr. Azouz also utilizes anesthesia providers who focus on giving the patient the best and safest surgical experience possible. Liposuction is generally well-tolerated, and most patients report having little pain after this cosmetic surgery.

What areas of the body can be treated with liposuction?

Liposuction

Liposuction can have fantastic results in patients of all ages and body types. Dr. Azouz routinely performs liposuction on the:

Neck
Lateral breast, axilla, and back (to remove bra fat)
Chest for male breast reduction
Torso- abdomen, flanks, iliac rolls, muffin top, love handles.
Lower limb- thighs, legs, calves, buttocks, banana roll, saddlebags

Types of Liposuction

Custom Cannula Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction cannulas have varying characteristics to target and remove fat depending on the location. Dr. Azouz has designed his own cannulas to maximize patient results. This is true in his custom made gynecomastia cannulas, leg, abdominal, lipedema, chest, back, calf, and neck cannulas. Dr. Azouz educates patients on which types of liposuction he has customized for specific locations and procedures. Dr. Azouz conceals and minimizes scarring so much so that many patients report being unable to detect their scars.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

Power-assisted liposuction is a specialized liposuction procedure performed by Dr. Azouz. Dr. Azouz utilizes a vibrating cannula to break up and remove fatty tissue. Studies have shown that power-assisted liposuction permits increased precision with less bruising and efficient fat removal. Power-assisted liposuction can also remove up to 30 percent more fat than traditional liposuction methods.

Ultrasonic Liposuction

Liposuction with a power source removes fatty tissue and allows liposuction to be more efficient. Some energy sources can contribute to skin tightening.

High Definition Liposuction

High definition liposuction utilizes the artistic principles of light and shadow to provide a sculpted look. Dr. Azouz removes large quantities of fat in some locations while avoiding certain areas “no go” zones. This provides men and women with a shaped and muscular look.

SAFE Liposuction

SAFE liposuction stands for liposuction with Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization and has been extensively studied in Aesthetic and Plastic, and Reconstructive surgery journals. SAFE liposuction breaks up adhesions and scar tissue between the dermis, fascia, and fatty tissue to create a uniform subcutaneous fat layer. SAFE liposuction helps to avoid contour deformity and inadequately treated areas. Dr. Azouz uses SAFE liposuction techniques in patients undergoing their first operation and patients who have had liposuction elsewhere that require a revision liposuction procedure.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction adds fluid and epinephrine to traditional liposuction techniques, effectively minimizing bleeding while also permitting a less painful procedure. Liposuction can be performed under local anesthetic and sedation rather than general anesthesia with tumescent liposuction techniques. Tumescent liposuction also can help to avoid bruising and soreness.

Anesthesia used during liposuction

The type of anesthesia used during liposuction in Dallas by Dr. Azouz is local and sedation anesthesia. With the use of local and sedation anesthesia patients tend to have a quicker recovery, less post-operative grogginess, and decreased nausea compared to general anesthesia.

Liposuction Recovery

Following your liposuction procedure, special compression garments will need to be worn to diminish swelling. Dr. Azouz does not routinely place drains for Liposuction. Redness, bruising, and swelling are expected, and any discomfort can be controlled with pain medication, but most patients do not report significant pain after liposuction.

Most patients can return to a desk job within a few days after liposuction. Many patients who have liposuction on a Friday will return to a desk job on a Monday. However, recovery time may differ from patient to patient and is dependent on the specific locations and number of areas treated.

Liposuction cost

Liposuction

The cost of liposuction is dependent on several factors, including the number of areas treated, the amount and quality of fatty tissue to be removed, and the overall health of the patient. Dr. Azouz will determine the cost of liposuction by performing a history and physical examination.

How does liposuction compare to nonsurgical techniques?

Liposuction is a definitive treatment to remove fat deposits and lipodystrophy from the body. Unlike non-surgical treatments, liposuction removes fat from the body and places it in a bottle. Liposuction is performed once, whereas nonsurgical procedures involve multiple sessions (as many as 6-8 at times). The results of liposuction are much more definitive than nonsurgical techniques.
