Advanced Liposuction in Fort Worth, TX | Matthew H. Steele, MD

Understanding Liposuction Body Contouring

Despite maintaining a good diet and exercise regimen, many patients find certain fat pockets remain resistant to weight loss. Liposuction offers a targeted solution for removing excess fat from areas like the double chin, love handles, thighs, and abdomen.

Benefits of Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic technique that permanently removes unwanted fat through small incisions. Key benefits include:

• Removing fatty bulges from waist, hips, thighs, and abdomen
• Sculpting neck and jawline contours
• Contouring upper arms
• Complementing other procedures like facelifts and tummy tucks

Surgical Technique in Fort Worth

Dr. Steele performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure using the advanced SAFELipo® technique. This method utilizes power-assisted liposuction to safely separate and remove fat, minimizing asymmetries and contour irregularities.

Procedure Details

The surgery involves using tumescent solution to provide tissue firmness and minimize bleeding. Compression garments are used post-procedure to encourage skin contraction and reduce swelling.

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically resume normal activities within 3-5 days, with full results visible after 3-6 months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting body contouring results.

Important Considerations

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring procedure. Ideal candidates are close to their target weight with good skin elasticity.
