Liposuction Austin, TX
Schedule your liposuction consultation with Dr. Pearce in Austin, Texas, to enhance your shape for a more attractive silhouette.
Model
Over time, both men and women can acquire fat in various areas of their body due to aging, genetics, and other lifestyle factors. Many patients with stubborn fat that is resistant to a strict diet and exercise routine turn to plastic surgery to help them achieve the results they desire. Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which localized deposits of fat are removed to enhance the body with slimmer contours.
Concerns
Recovery
Following your liposuction procedure, you will be asked to wear a surgical garment to protect your new contours and minimize swelling. Swelling and bruising will occur but should resolve after a few weeks. Make sure you refrain from all physical activity for at least four weeks or unless instructed otherwise by your surgeon. Dr. Pearce will provide you with more detailed instructions you will need to follow after your liposuction is complete.
Results
You can expect the contours of your body to be noticeably slimmer and more defined after your surgery. The results from your liposuction procedure are intended to last many years, as long as you maintain a stable weight. Your final result may take a few months to reveal itself as the swelling continues to resolve.
Scars
Liposuction may leave some minor scars that can be hidden underneath clothing and will most likely fade over time.
Cost
The total cost of your liposuction procedure will depend on the number of areas being treated and the amount of fat being removed. Insurance providers do not typically cover the cost of liposuction.
