What is Body Liposuction?
You’ve put the time and effort into dieting and exercising but still have stubborn fat that seems to linger no what you do. There is a solution. While Liposuction, also known as liposuction or body sculpting, isn’t a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, it can take your body to the next level and make you look and feel amazing. Liposuction is performed by selectively removing unwanted localized deposits of fat cells to improve symmetry and body lines.
The most popular treatment areas for men are the “love handles,” chest, abdomen and neckline. In women they include the thighs, hips, stomach, knees, lower legs, cheeks and double chins. Some women elect to have their fat recycled through fat transfer to achieve their desired shape. Contact our Houston, TX cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jung to get a free consultation.

Before and After
This 29-year-old female patient was a workout buff who couldn’t seem to get rid of her stubborn “love handles” no matter how much she dieted and exercised.

TREATMENT
considerations
The candidate for body Liposuction is someone who is in good general health with good skin tone to allow for maximum retraction of the skin once the fat is removed. At your consultation, Dr. Jung will assess you and discuss your goals and the probable outcome.
During the procedure, Dr. Jung infuses the fatty area being treated with small volumes of saline solution, local anesthesia and adrenaline. This enables him to maneuver a special instrument, known as a cannula, under the skin to remove the unwanted fatty deposits to reveal more attractive contours.
PRE + POSTOp Care
Dr. Jung will let you know exactly what you’ll need to do to prepare for your surgery. After the procedure, we recommend resting for a few days and sleeping with the bed elevated 30-45 degrees for one week. You’ll wear a post-surgical bra for several weeks. The majority of the discomfort associated with breast augmentation surgery can be controlled with oral medication, which Dr. Jung will prescribe along with antibiotics in some cases. Most women experience mild swelling, bruising and tenderness, yet these symptoms subside quickly. Dr. Jung will let you know the schedule for returning to your normal activities, however, most patients are back to work within the first week and can engage in physical activity after six weeks. It’s common to feel tingling or sharp sensations. These eventually go away though it could take several months.
