Liposuction Houston’s Top Choice for Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed each year. Designed to eliminate stubborn, hard-to-address fatty tissue, Dr. Paul Vitenas’ innovative liposuction techniques are custom tailored to each induvial patient’s needs. Most commonly, liposuction is used to improve the contour of the abdomen, upper arms, lower back, thighs, buttocks, and neck; restoring a youthful shape to the body. At Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery, the outpatient procedure can also be used to compliment other body sculpting procedures, such as breast augmentation and a tummy tuck in a Mommy Makeover. Depending on the extent of correction, Dr. Vitenas’ liposuction will take from one to four hours. Best of all, liposuction provides natural-looking, long-term results, as the eliminated fat cells do not return.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a semi-invasive technique used to eliminate areas of fat that are resistant to diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Using a thin cannula (hollow tube) and suction, Dr. Vitenas can remove these isolated pockets of fat, sculpting the area to achieve the desired contour.

When can I return to work after a liposuction procedure?

Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients the chance to recover in the comfort of their own home. Recovery takes from five to seven days. Most liposuction patients are feeling well enough to return to work in a week or less.

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

The ideal candidate for liposuction will be frustrated with solitary, difficult to address areas of fatty tissue. A potential patient should be in generally good health, a nonsmoker, and hold realistic expectations for their final, body contouring results.
