Liposuction Body Contouring for Stubborn Fat
Despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, certain areas may hold onto fat deposits that simply won't budge. Liposuction is a precise body contouring procedure designed for patients with good skin elasticity who want to eliminate these exercise-resistant fat pockets. This advanced technique allows our plastic surgeons to sculpt and refine areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, or chin. Rather than serving as a weight loss solution, liposuction acts as a powerful body sculpting tool that creates smoother contours and enhances your existing proportions.

Our plastic surgeons select the most appropriate liposuction technique based on your unique anatomy, treatment areas, and aesthetic goals. Here are the advanced options we offer:
Tumescent Liposuction. The most common form of liposuction. It involves injecting a sterile solution to numb the area, minimize bleeding, and make fat removal easier. Using a thin cannula connected to gentle suction, this technique provides excellent results with minimal downtime. Ideal for most body areas and first-time patients.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL). Features a rapidly vibrating cannula that allows for more precise fat removal with less trauma to surrounding tissues. This technique is particularly effective for fibrous areas or patients who've had previous procedures, offering enhanced precision and faster recovery.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction. Uses targeted laser energy to liquefy fat before removal, while simultaneously tightening skin through controlled heating. This dual-action approach is excellent for areas where you want both fat reduction and mild skin tightening, such as the neck, arms, or abdomen.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Employs ultrasonic energy to break down tough, fibrous fat deposits before removal. Particularly effective for dense fat areas like the back, male chest, or areas with scar tissue from previous procedures.

Target Areas: Where Liposuction Works Best
With age, many men and women find that their bodies no longer respond to exercise as they once did, and stubborn fat accumulates in specific "problem areas." If your weight is stable but you want to reshape your contours, liposuction can precisely target these resistant zones:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Hips, thighs and buttocks
- Chest and back
- Chin, neck and face
- Upper arms
Your Liposuction Experience: What to Expect
Liposuction is typically performed under local or regional anesthesia for your comfort. Your surgeon will create tiny incisions—usually less than a quarter-inch—and insert a thin cannula at varying depths to precisely sculpt and remove excess fat.
Post-Procedure: The small incisions are left open to promote drainage, and temporary drains may be placed to prevent fluid buildup and minimize swelling. This approach ensures optimal healing and results.
The minimally invasive nature of modern liposuction means less trauma, faster healing, and a more comfortable recovery than you might expect. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring: Gentle Fat Reduction Without Surgery
Although liposuction offers more dramatic results, non-surgical body contouring can be an ideal solution for patients who have a small amount of fat to target and want to avoid surgery. BodyTite, laser skin tightening, and other non-surgical body contouring procedures use advanced techniques and modalities to target unwanted fat cells. These treatments are less invasive than their surgical alternatives, with minimal to no downtime required.
Am I a candidate for liposuction?
In general, the ideal candidate for liposuction at Austin Face & Body:
- Is in good health
- Can maintain a stable body weight
- Has good skin tone and elasticity
Who isn’t a good candidate for liposuction? If you have a substantial amount of weight to lose, or if your weight has fluctuated within the past six months, our surgeons won’t recommend this procedure until you’ve reached (and stayed at) your goal weight. If this is something you are struggling with, we can help get you ready for surgery by guiding you in establishing a healthy diet and exercise routine.
