Liposuction in Houston, TX

Yes, at our clinic we can remove the fat from all the body parts the patient wants to make slimmer. However, before the surgery, Dr. Olga Bachilo will determine if which body parts will benefit from the treatment and discuss with you all available options.

At our clinic, we use Smartlipo - a laser-assisted liposuction technology that heats the fat with a laser built into the cannula to disrupt and eject it.

Tumescent liposuction is a procedure that is performed with local anesthesia using lidocaine. It is used when a patient has a large amount of fat to be removed. If you are interested in this type of liposuction, contact us at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa.

Because liposuction is such a versatile procedure that may be used in such a variety of ways, naturally, the price of the procedure will vary between patients. Many factors will affect pricing, such as the size of the treatment area. The average cost of affordable liposuction may run between $2,000 and $5000. If your situation is more complex, low-cost liposuction might not be an available option. You can spend more than $8,000, depending on the area(s) being treated. If you need cheap liposuction and other treatments at the same time, you may save money as well as time by combining liposuction with other cosmetic procedures in a single treatment session.

Yes. That procedure is called fat grafting or a fat transfer procedure. During your intake consultation with Dr. Bachilo, mention that you’d like to use the fat extracted during liposuction to enhance another area of your face or body.

Liposuction is not a means for weight loss, but it helps to improve and shape the body. The ideal candidate is someone who is looking to remove stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to weight loss and exercise in order to improve body shape.

Liposuction can be performed using a topical numbing agent or some form of local anesthesia with sedation in order to help patients relax and diminish any possibility of discomfort during the procedure. If large volume liposuction is performed or is combined with other procedures, general anesthesia is recommended.

Once fat cells are removed from the treatment area, they are gone for good. You may still gain weight in the area, because the remaining fat cells in the area may become enlarged, but typically the results of liposuction are considered permanent.

Yes, Dr. Olga Bachilo specializes in liposuction for all body parts, including ankles, knees, calves, inner and outer thighs to remove saddlebags and help you achieve the slimmer appearance of your legs. If there is a need for a thigh lift after or during the liposuction, it can also be performed at our clinic.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes stubborn fat to improve body contour. Dr. Bachilo performs the procedure by making small incisions and using a thin tube (cannula) to suction out fat from targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or chin. It can also be combined with other procedures for enhanced results.

Liposuction can target many areas, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, back, chin, neck, and knees. It’s also used for contouring the bra roll, male chest, and inner knees.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults close to their goal weight who have localized fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise. Good skin elasticity is important for smooth results. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure or a treatment for loose skin.

Liposuction is designed for shaping, not weight loss. Typically, up to 5 liters (about 11 pounds) of fat can be safely removed in one session. The goal is to sculpt and contour, not significantly reduce weight.

Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite. While it removes fat, it doesn't address the skin dimpling caused by connective tissue bands. For cellulite reduction, we may recommend treatments like Emtone.

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas. However, remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results long term.

Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and soreness for a few days. Compression garments are worn to support healing and shape. Light activity can resume within a few days, but full recovery may take a few weeks.

As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, swelling, contour irregularities, and fluid buildup. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Bachilo helps minimize complications and ensure safe, natural-looking results.

Some improvement may be visible within a few weeks, but final results typically develop after swelling fully subsides in 3 to 6 months.

Liposuction incisions are small and strategically placed. While scars are permanent, they usually fade over time and become barely noticeable. Dr. Bachilo takes care to minimize and conceal incision placement.
