Duration
2 hours
Westlake Dermatology's West University Houston plastic surgeons perform tumescent liposuction and SmartLipo (laser-assisted lipolysis) to remove stubborn, diet-resistant fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, submental area, and back. Tumescent technique infuses dilute lidocaine and epinephrine into the fat compartment before aspiration, minimising blood loss and improving precision. SmartLipo adds a laser fibre to liquefy fat cells and coagulate small vessels before aspiration, and may provide mild skin tightening through thermal stimulation of the reticular dermis. Frequently combined with abdominoplasty for comprehensive torso contouring.
