OVERVIEW

Do you have stubborn pockets of fat resistant to all the exercising and dieting you are doing? Liposuction may be an answer for you to target your hard-to-treat, stubborn, and unwanted areas of fat.

Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures that can target abdominal extra fat build-up and fat around the mid-section, thighs, arms, and armpits. Liposuction is also performed on the neck to remove a double chin and cheeks to remove the jowls. Liposuction can create a more contoured appearance by removing your “muffin top,” “love handles,” or “saddlebags” and produce natural, long-lasting results as long as you maintain your weight.

Liposuction is not a means of weight loss but is designed to help contour your body for a more desired defined and sculpted appearance. Liposuction may also be combined with several other cosmetic procedures to produce the best result. Contact our office to schedule your free consultation and learn how liposuction can help you achieve that hourglass sculpted body you’ve always wanted. We are located 31 minutes from Pearland and 9 minutes from West University.

CONSULTATION

What to Expect During Your Lipo Consultation

Dr. Bachilo will meet with you and discuss your concerns and goals. She will perform an evaluation and recommend whether liposuction is your best surgical procedure to achieve the results you want. Dr. Bachilo may make recommendations for additional non-surgical or surgical procedures that will further enhance your results. Dr. Bachilo will go over the procedure details and explain any risks involved.

When you are ready to schedule your procedure, you will be given detailed pre-operative instructions. You will be asked to stop smoking and stop taking any medications that increase bleeding for your safety. It is important to us that you are comfortable with your decision and if you have any questions, please make sure to ask your doctor or one of the clinic staff before your surgery.

PROCEDURE

How Is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction may be performed in an outpatient surgical center or a clinic setting using local or general anesthesia. Whether liposuction can be done as an outpatient procedure will depend on the amount of fat to be removed, the operation’s length, and the number of body areas addressed. For extensive volume liposuction, an overnight stay at the hospital is usually recommended for close patient monitoring.

Liposuction requires only several small incisions about a quarter of an inch strategically placed to access the pockets of excess fat cells. Modern liposuction techniques always utilize a special fluid called a tumescent solution that contains local anesthetic and adrenaline that is infused into the fat pockets before fat removal. A small hollow tube, a cannula, is used to loosen and remove the fat deposits with gentle suction.

During fat removal surgery, to achieve the best cosmetic result, Dr. Bachilo continuously monitors your body contour. When the desired shape and contour is reached, skin incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. Dressings and surgical garments are applied to treated body areas.

RECOVERY

What to Expect During Lipo Recovery

You will be given detailed post-operative instructions after your liposuction procedure. It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and drainage from the incision sites. If these are excessive, please make sure to notify your surgeon. Pain is minimal and will be controlled with prescription medication given to you by Dr. Bachilo. She will instruct you to continuously wear your compression garment to reduce swelling and produce the best results. You should be able to return to work in just a few days to a week after your surgery.

RESULTS

What Results Can I Expect After Liposuction?

Liposuction results will vary and will depend on your age, skin elasticity, and your starting appearance. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand what this procedure can and cannot deliver. For example, liposuction is not intended for people to lose weight, and those with loose skin are likely not good candidates for this procedure. You will see improvement in your body contour immediately, and as bruising and swelling decrease, you will see your final result. It may take 2-3 months before you can enjoy your best shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures to remove stubborn fat pockets and to contour the body.

Is Liposuction a weight loss treatment?

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.

Will Liposuction affect my ability to become pregnant in the future?

No, the procedure will not affect your ability to carry a healthy pregnancy; however, it may be advisable to postpone the procedure until after you have finished having your children, because future weight fluctuations and hormonal changes may affect the outcome of your Liposuction treatment.

How much does Liposuction cost in the Houston area?

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.

Can Liposuction be used to transfer fat from one area of the body to another?

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.

What type of anesthesia is used during a Liposuction procedure?

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.

How long do the results of Liposuction last?

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.

What parts of the body can be treated with Liposuction?

Liposuction is effective at extracting excess fat from many different areas of the face and body, including the chin, neck, torso, chest, tummy, back, flanks, hips, thighs, breasts, and buttocks.

Can Liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine liposuction with other treatments in order to produce a more significant transformation and improvement in appearance.

Is there a Facial Liposuction option available in Houston TX?

Yes, at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa we can perform liposuction on your face to reduce jowls and cheeks. We help patients get rid of the double chin, as well as remove the neck fat (submental liposuction).

Additionally, we offer other procedures that are recommended after the liposuction that tightens your facial skin to help you achieve the desired look.

Do you provide Leg Liposuction for inner and outer thighs, calves, and knees in Houston TX?

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.

Do you offer a full body Liposuction?

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.

Where can I find a SmartLipo Laser Liposuction in Houston TX?

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.

What is a Tumescent Liposuction and do you offer it in Houston?

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.

OVERVIEW
Get the Flat Abs You Want

Male liposuction is widely gaining popularity with men who want to restore a more contoured, youthful appearance and get rid of stubborn fatty deposits for a leaner physique. Male liposuction is one of the many procedures offered by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Olga Bachilo at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa for men in the Houston, Texas area. Dr. Bachilo is a talented plastic surgeon and leading provider of surgical and non-surgical treatments for male and female liposuction patients.

ABOUT

What Is Male Lipo?

Liposuction (also known as liposculpture or lipoplasty) is a widely used surgical cosmetic procedure that contours the body by extracting unwanted fat from key problem areas. Men’s bodies tend to store fatty deposits in certain specific areas, such as the “love handles” around the flanks, as well as excess fatty tissue in the chest, belly, and buttocks. Liposuction may be used to treat any of these areas, and even the thighs, underarms, and upper arms or shoulders, to increase muscular definition in these areas.

Liposuction suctions away fatty deposits that may persist in spite of a healthy diet and physical exercise. Liposuction may also be performed together with other enhancement procedures, such as male breast reduction (gynecomastia) or male tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery.

BENEFITS

Benefits of Male Liposuction

Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective procedure that enhances body contour and produces a leaner and more defined physique by removing excess fat from stubborn areas where you want pockets of fat removed. Male liposuction can produce the lean and toned body contour you want, with healthy muscular definition in the chest, stomach, waistline, and buttocks, as well as the arms and thighs. Liposuction requires only a few days of recovery and provides a fast and easy way to get the trim body of your dreams.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

Who Should Consider Male Liposuction?

While liposuction is considered suitable and safe for most adult men, it may not be the perfect solution for every male patient. For example, liposuction alone would not be the treatment of choice for men who are extremely obese or those who have undergone severe weight loss and have sagging skin remaining around the torso. Stretch marks and cellulite are also separate conditions that may require other procedures such as tummy tuck or other surgery. Typically, liposuction may be right for you if you meet the following conditions:

  • You are in general good health with no contraindications for elective surgery.
  • You are within 30% of your ideal weight and maintain relatively good skin and muscle tone.
  • You are a non-smoker.
  • You maintain a healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise.
  • Your body contouring expectations and goals are realistic.
PROCEDURE

How Male Liposuction Is Done

Male liposuction may take from 1 to 2 hours to complete. Dr. Bachilo performs liposuction regularly and uses a variety of techniques based on the unique and individual condition of each patient. The procedure starts with making tiny, inconspicuous incisions, then using a suction-based contouring and sculpting device to extract stubborn fat from areas where it accumulated like the “love handles,” flanks, hips, “spare tire,” or waist, buttocks, thighs, chest, or “double chin.” Liposuction recovery is minimal, with patients typically resuming work and normal physical activities within a few days after their surgery.

ABDOMINAL ETCHING

Ab Etching

Abdominal etching is a procedure to remove extra fat from the abdominal area to improve the visibility of the “6-pack”.

Frequently Asked Questions Male Liposuction

WILL MALE LIPOSUCTION HELP ME TO LOSE WEIGHT?

No. While Liposuction is a fat-reduction treatment, it is not a weight-loss treatment. Liposuction may remove pockets of excess fat, helping to produce a slimmer contour and physique, but it will not remove substantial amounts of fat. You must be close to your ideal weight in order to be a good candidate for Liposuction.

CAN MALE LIPOSUCTION GIVE ME SIX-PACK ABS?

Yes. In particular, the procedure known as Abdominal Etching is designed to specifically deliver the coveted \u201csix-pack\u201d by means of a Liposuction procedure. During your introductory consultation with Dr. Bachilo, she can help you to determine whether you are a good candidate for Abdominal Etching.
