Liposuction in Dallas Texas - Liposculpture

Having Liposuction in Dallas Texas

Liposuction (lipoplasty) is particularly well-suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them. For liposuction in Dallas Texas contact board certified plastic surgeon Dr. William Adams.

While it is possible to undergo liposuction at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. When skin is inelastic, as in some older patients, it may not redrape well and a skin tightening procedure may be necessary.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you have localized excess fat or if you desire contouring in any of the following areas:

cheeks, jowls and neck

upper arms

breast or chest areas

back

abdomen and waist

hips and buttocks

inner and outer thighs

inner knee

Liposuction may sometimes be used to treat a condition called gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, which frequently occurs among both teenage and adult males.

Liposuction should not be considered a substitute for overall weight loss, nor is it an effective treatment for cellulite, a condition that gives the skin an uneven, dimpled appearance. Alternative treatments may be considered, in some instances, to improve this problem.

Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at the same time, and it can also be done in conjunction with other aesthetic plastic surgery.

Ultrasonic assisted lipoplasty (UAL) involves the application of ultrasonic energy to fat tissue which effectively liquefies the fat which in turn can be removed using a low vacuum suction. The process is similar in concept to lithotripsy, a procedure in which sound waves are used to break up kidney stones, allowing them to freely move through the urinary tract. In this same manner, ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses sound waves to liquefy fat with minimal damage to the surrounding cells. Through small incisions, a tube delivers sound waves to a specific area of fat, which has been injected with saline solution. The fat is removed with mild suction. UAL is a gentle technique, which allows a larger volume of fat to be removed, and the patient experiences minimal bruising, blood loss and swelling.

UAL, like traditional liposuction is not a weight-reduction procedure. It is a contouring procedure to remove localized bulges or fat deposits that are non-responsive to diet and exercise. For liposuction in Dallas Texas contact board certified plastic surgeon Dr. William Adams.

What happens during the first consultation?

Every patient is different and Dr. Adams prefers to individualize each one of his patients' care. During the initial consultation, Dr. Adams will evaluate your general health and explain the surgical techniques most appropriate for you, based on the condition of your skin tone. You will learn about the procedure, the risks and complications and your recovery time.

You will have the opportunity to view pre and post-op pictures. Your discussion with Dr. Adams will cover all aspects of the surgery and you will discuss what are your expectations. Dr. Adams will be able to examine your body and then discuss the procedures that will be necessary to meet your expectations. You will have before pictures taken, which allows Dr. Adams to plan your surgery and also allows computer imaging to be done and viewed at a later appointment if desired.

Dr Adams' assistant will give written pre and post op care and informed consent to review before signing and discuss your consultation appointment. She will also give you the total fees of the surgeon, anesthesia and operating room.
