What is Liposuction?
If you have excess fat deposits that refuse to budge no matter how often you hit the gym or how many times you make healthy food choices, you’re not alone. These stubborn bumps and bulges can stand in the way of feeling confident in yourself.
Dr. Jung is a liposuction expert and has helped thousands of patients look slimmer and more toned with the procedure. He uses liposuction to remove the fat before sculpting and reshaping the area to create your desired silhouette.
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States with over 300,000 procedures conducted on a yearly basis. Schedule your consultation with our Houston TX cosmetic surgeon to find out how we can reinvent your body with liposuction.
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty and liposculpture suction, is a procedure in which fat is sucked off or removed from your body. This procedure is usually targeted in areas with concentrated fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, chin, backs of arms, lower back, and calves.
During the liposuction procedure, the cosmetic surgeon uses a hollow instrument (cannula) connected to a high-pressure vacuum to remove fat from the desired area. The procedure is generally carried out under general anesthesia, so you don’t feel anything.
It’s worth noting that liposuction isn’t a weight loss method and that people seeking liposuction generally have stable body weight. This procedure can only remove undesirable deposits of fat from specific parts of your body — it’s not a treatment for obesity. This procedure also doesn’t remove cellulite or stretch marks.
The amount of fat that can be removed with liposuction is limited. As such, this procedure is largely used for contouring of the body and not for weight loss.

Benefits
- Improves overall appearance by getting rid of unwanted deposits of stubborn fat.
- Can remove areas of fat that are resistant to dieting and exercise.
- Suitable treatment for gynecomastia, a condition in which fat accumulates under a man’s breasts.
- Can help with fat redistribution to make your body look more proportionate.
- If you’re a formerly obese individual and have lost over 40% of your BMI recently, you may need liposuction to remove excess skin.
- Liposuction can sometimes reduce swelling and discomfort caused by lymphedema — even though that’s not the primary function of the procedure.
Actual
results
You will only notice the actual results of liposuction after the inflammation goes down, which may even take several months. Once the swelling goes down — which may take about 4 weeks — the treated area will seem more defined.
If you maintain your weight with regular exercise and a balanced diet, the results will be permanent. If you gain weight after the procedure, your fat distribution may be different. For example, if you had concentrated fat in your waist or lower back, you may now accumulate fat in your buttocks.
Before & After
Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction
This 29-year-old, athletic male worked out diligently but could never achieve the “six-pack” he desired. He consulted with Dr. Jung for his expertise in high-definition contouring. Dr. Jung performed abdominal etching on this patient using Vaser Hi Def and sculpted around his rectus muscles. The patient is seen here three months after his surgery with a defined, toned abdomen. He was thrilled with the results.

Body Liposuction
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. Dr. Jung performed liposuction of her waist and love handles to improve her shape and bring balance to her figure. The patient was delighted with her results.

Smart Liposuction / Laser Liposuction
This 32-year-old male patient worked out consistently but just couldn’t lose the stubborn fat on his abdomen to unveil his muscles. Dr. Jung performed a high-definition abdominal etching procedure to define the patient’s “six pack.” He’s pictured here three months post-procedure with a sculpted look he never thought he could achieve.

LIPOSUCTION HOUSTON
Tumescent liposuction is a form of the procedure performed under tumescent local anesthesia, which is far more effective, safer, and more comfortable than traditional liposuction.
Elastic compression garments are specially designed girdles used to reduce bleeding after surgery and reduce swelling during the recovery period. Your cosmetic surgeon may ask you to wear elastic compression garments for a certain period after the treatment.
Liposuction is suitable for any patient who has realistic expectations about the results and is in good health. While liposuction can offer great results, it can’t be used as an overall weight-loss technique. Be transparent with your cosmetic surgeon to determine if you should proceed with the treatment.
