Advanced Liposuction Fort Worth, TX | Dr Candace Lovelace

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a precise body contouring procedure designed to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, back, bra line, arms, and thighs. The treatment utilizes small cannulas inserted under the skin through tiny incisions to extract targeted fat deposits.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The best liposuction candidates include:

• Individuals in good physical health
• Patients with stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Those with realistic body contouring expectations
• Individuals at a stable weight

Important Candidate Considerations

Patients should note that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. Candidates must meet specific criteria, including:

• BMI of at least 32
• Stable weight for 3-6 months prior to surgery
• No significant cellulite or skin laxity in target areas

Comprehensive Liposuction Consultation Process

Dr. Lovelace provides a personalized consultation to evaluate your candidacy and develop a tailored treatment plan. The consultation involves:

• Discussion of aesthetic goals
• Complete medical history review
• Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment
• Determination of optimal fat removal strategy

Procedure Details

Liposuction typically takes 1-3 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients can expect:

• Minimally invasive technique
• Dissolvable sutures
• Compression garment for 8 weeks post-surgery
• Gradual return to normal activities

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients return to light duty within a few days to a week after surgery. Full recovery and return to strenuous activities typically occur around 8 weeks post-procedure. Scars will continue to improve between 3 months and 2 years after surgery.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, liposuction carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, and contour irregularities. Dr. Lovelace will thoroughly discuss these during your consultation.
