What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove persistent deposits of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is a body contouring tool, not a weight-loss method. The procedure is ideal for improving the shape and profile of areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, back, and upper arms. By selectively removing fat cells, liposuction can create smoother, better-proportioned contours.
Our Approach to Liposuction in Dallas
We utilize refined techniques to achieve smooth, consistent results. Dr. Jeff Angobaldo’s approach emphasizes artistry and precision, ensuring your outcome appears natural and balanced with your overall physique.
Customized Treatment Planning: We assess your skin quality, fat distribution, and body shape to determine the most effective approach. We discuss which areas can be treated and what level of improvement is realistic for your frame.
Precision Sculpting: The goal is selective fat removal to enhance your natural contours. We focus on creating definition and smoothing transitions between body areas, such as refining the waistline or reducing inner thigh bulk.
Combination with Other Procedures: Liposuction is often performed with other surgeries like a tummy tuck or breast reduction for a more comprehensive result. We can discuss if a combined approach is right for your goals.
The Liposuction Journey for Dallas Patients
Consultation in Plano: Your process begins with an evaluation at our Plano facility. Dr. Angobaldo will examine your areas of concern, discuss the liposuction technique, and explain what the procedure can achieve. You will see before-and-after examples and receive detailed information.
Surgical Technique: The procedure involves making small incisions, using a thin tube (cannula) to loosen and remove fat cells. We employ techniques to maximize comfort and improve skin retraction. Surgery is performed in our AAAASF-accredited facility.
Recovery & Aftercare: You will wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing. Most Dallas patients return to desk work within a few days to a week. Light activity can resume quickly, but strenuous exercise is typically postponed for 3-4 weeks.
Seeing Your Results: Initial improvements are visible once swelling begins to subside, with final contours emerging over several months as the skin fully adjusts. While the fat cells removed during liposuction are gone for good, maintaining a stable weight is essential. Any future weight gain will be distributed more proportionately across your new, sculpted contours.
Optimizing Your Results with In-House Lymphatic Massage For our Dallas liposuction patients, the journey doesn’t end in the operating room. To ensure smooth, even contours and to speed up the reduction of swelling, we recommend post-operative lymphatic drainage therapy at Viva MedSpa. Having these treatments on-site allows our surgical and aesthetic teams to coordinate closely, ensuring your recovery is as efficient as possible before you return to your Dallas routine.
