Shedding the unwanted fat permanently can be wonderfully life-changing. Beyond the benefits of a beautiful body, our patients typically experience a dramatic improvement in their mental, emotional, and psychological well-being. In fact, we often hear stories from our patients about how liposuction has transformed their lives by positively impacting their social life, professional life, and romantic life.
If you think liposuction is right for you, the first step is determining if you are a good candidate for the procedure. This will take place during your initial consultation with Dr. Deigni, who will assess you medically to ensure that this procedure will not only be right for you but also safe. In general, the ideal candidate for liposuction is a healthy adult with a BMI below 30 and within approximately ten pounds of their goal weight.
Liposuction is popular for both men and women, and Dr. Deigni has ample experience tailoring procedures to meet gender-specific needs. Popular liposuction areas include the chest, back, arms, and inner thighs. However, the most popular liposuction areas for both men and women in The Woodlands are the abdomen and flanks—or the stomach fat and love handles.
Dr. Deigni’s signature procedure is the drainless tummy tuck, which not only eliminates excess fat through direct excision but also tightens the appearance of the stomach by removing excess skin. Liposuction can be combined with the drainless tummy tuck for a more dramatic body contouring result.
Your liposuction procedure will depend on the areas that you wish to be treated, and how many areas you wish to be treated at once. During your initial consultation in The Woodlands, Dr. Deigni will thoroughly prepare you on what to expect in your individual procedure and how to optimize your results and recovery.
Liposuction is performed under anesthesia. Dr. Deigni will strategically create small incisions near the target area. Through these openings, a tumescent solution—a mix of saline, local anesthetic, and epinephrine—is infused. This solution serves to numb the area, constrict blood vessels (to minimize bleeding), and aid in fat removal. Through the incisions, Dr. Deigni will then insert a thin tube called a cannula, which is connected to a suction device. He will maneuver the cannula to break up and suction out excess fat. He will then strategically contour the treated area to achieve your desired aesthetic outcomes as best as possible. After your fat is removed, Dr. Deigni will leave your incisions open to allow for proper drainage of excess fluid.
Dr. Deigni does not use drains. Thanks to great advancements in surgical techniques and the use of tumescent solutions, the need for drains in many liposuction procedures has become obsolete.
Liposuction is an advanced plastic surgery procedure that necessitates plenty of rest and relaxation for an optimal, complication-free recovery. Depending on the location and nature of your treatment, you may be able to return to work after two short weeks. Dr. Deigni will make specific, personal recommendations based on your individual needs. Depending on the treatment area, he may advise you to use a compression garment—this can accelerate recovery time and will be provided to you if necessary. In addition, you will likely require lymphatic drainage treatments to help control your swelling and accelerate your healing and recovery process.
If well taken care of, liposuction can be permanent. Once your fat cells are removed, they cannot regrow in the body. Our medical team at The Woodlands advises maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle to prolong your beautiful results following the procedure.
The drainless tummy tuck is two steps above liposuction. Not only does it permanently eliminate stomach fat (like liposuction), but it also removes excess skin, tightening and defining your abdominal contours. It does not require drains whatsoever.
With over a decade of experience performing drainless tummy tucks for his patients, Dr. Deigni is regarded as one of the premier specialists of this highly specialized treatment in The Woodlands. If you are considering liposuction for your stomach, abdominal region, or midsection region, ask Dr. Deigni if a drainless tummy tuck may serve your needs better.
Liposuction is available for both men and women and can treat a variety of body areas, including the abdominal region, the arms, legs, buttocks, thighs, and back.
