When you look in the mirror, do you see areas of fat that will not go away with a good diet and exercise plan? If you answer yes, you may want to consider liposuction. It is not unusual for both men and women to have stubborn fat pockets that will not yield to healthy eating and fitness.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Deigni, offers a range of body contouring procedures that can improve your appearance. Liposuction in Clear Lake plays a key role in helping our patients achieve the body they desire. Call our office today to find out more!

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive, surgical body contouring procedure that removes excess fat to slim the target area. Dr. Deigni can sculpt and reshape parts of the body to give you a smooth, slim silhouette.

Liposuction can be used in multiple areas, including the following:

  • Abdomen
  • Neck (under chin)
  • Upper arms
  • Back
  • Flanks
  • Buttocks
  • Inner and outer thighs

However, liposuction does not remove excess skin or tighten muscles. For this reason, it is common to have a lift procedure performed in the treatment area simultaneously to maximize the effects.

Are There Risks Associated With Liposuction?

Like other types of surgery, liposuction has some risks, which our team will discuss in detail with you prior to the procedure. As a general overview, the following are uncommon but still possible:

  • Excessive bleeding during the procedure
  • Minor nerve damage that causes numb areas
  • Infection
  • Risks of anesthesia

Dr. Deigni takes every necessary precaution to avoid complications. During a consultation in the Clear Lake and League City area, he can answer any questions concerning liposuction.

The Liposuction Process

Liposuction is an outpatient surgical procedure, meaning you can leave after adequate recovery time at the surgical center. However, be sure to have someone available to drive you back home.

Dr. Deigni prefers the use of tumescent fluid with general anesthesia. This combination provides excellent comfort throughout the entire procedure.

Tumescent fluid infiltration involves injecting a specially formulated sterile fluid into the area where liposuction is to be performed. This solution contains medications that constrict (shrink) small blood vessels to reduce bleeding and numb the tissues. Most liposuction incisions are small, creating almost no scar once healed.

Liposuction creates a permanent change. Fat cells that are removed cannot grow back. However, maintaining your new contours long-term will require a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. If you gain weight, the remaining fat cells will grow and fill where the fat was removed. Call us today to learn more about our liposuction procedure in Clear Lake.
