Liposuction is perhaps the most effective surgical fat loss procedure and one of the most popular treatments at our clinic. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for this procedure. Liposuction is a highly complex, individualized procedure with strict eligibility criteria.
Our team can explain some of the most important eligibility criteria for candidates for liposuction in Houston, as well as the various reasons why certain patient groups might benefit from this procedure. For more information or to get a personalized assessment, schedule a personalized one-to-one consultation with our liposuction specialist.
While liposuction is fundamentally a cosmetic procedure, some patients can medically benefit from liposuction. Excess fat–particularly in the abdominal region–can be indicative of serious health conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease–and can also negatively impact the prognosis of these conditions.
Candidates in Houston typically seek liposuction for cosmetic reasons; they want to eliminate unwanted fat that does not budge with diet and exercise.
In order to be deemed eligible for liposuction in Houston, the candidate needs to be a generally healthy adult within 30% of their goal weight. This treatment is not meant for seriously overweight or obese individuals–such patients might want to consider bariatric surgery. Liposuction is also not suitable for patients who have a life-threatening or chronic health condition that can impact surgical healing.
There are also some lifestyle conditions that you should meet if you are considering obtaining liposuction. Ideally, you should be a non-smoker or willing to temporarily stop smoking as directed by your surgeon. Smoking can negatively affect the healing process and can cause undesirable surgical complications. It is also essential that you are not taking blood-thinning medications as they will impact your chances of recovery.
During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history with you. At this time, you should be prepared with a list of medications you are taking, as well as any natural supplements or other substances that you take. This information will be used to determine if you are a suitable candidate for liposuction.
For female candidates in Houston, we offer liposuction for the entire body, including the stomach, love handles, thighs, arms, back, and glutes. We can combine these procedures for you, as you please. One of our most popular treatments, the mommy makeover, is especially designed for mothers who are seeking full-body revitalization and can be combined with many of our surgical or non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
In most cases, liposuction is sought by female patients who wish to enhance their figure and revitalize the appearance of their bodies. This could potentially be after childbirth, or to rewind the look of aging. Liposuction is a maintenance treatment that allows them to feel youthful and healthy again. Liposuction is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Liposuction is not just for women. Now, more than ever, men are focused on looking and feeling their best. The most popular liposuction areas for our male candidates in Houston are the abdomen and love handles. The chest, arms, thighs, and back are other highly popular areas for male patients. We understand that men have different needs and require a more specialized approach that not only preserves their masculinity but also enhances it.
Our liposuction specialist treats a range of adult male patients across all ages. Men in various age groups have different needs. Younger patients under 40 seek liposuction to look and feel more athletic and attractive. These patients are typically focused on creating or maintaining their athleticism and enhancing muscular definition. Men above 40 are more focused on the anti-aging benefits of liposuction. They seek liposuction treatments to look more youthful and to slow down the signs of aging.
Liposuction can be an ideal fat-loss solution no matter what your reasons are. Whether you are looking to sculpt and define your body, revitalize your youthfulness, or restore your pre-pregnancy body, we can help.
