Slim, Sculpt, and Define Your Look

Stubborn fat can make certain areas feel fuller or less defined, even when you’re eating well and staying active. With liposuction in Houston, Dr. Stanley Ogu can precisely remove resistant fat from areas like the stomach, waist, thighs, arms, back, or under the chin to create a slimmer, smoother, more proportional shape.
As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Stan uses liposuction to sculpt natural-looking definition, improve the way clothing fits, and create contours that feel authentic to your body.
Because the treated fat cells are removed, your results can be long-lasting when supported by stable weight and healthy habits.
Using awake liposuction, J-Plasma, Avéli Cellulite Treatment, and traditional liposuction techniques, Dr. Stan personalizes your procedure to remove stubborn fat in the following areas:






Liposuction can create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance by removing stubborn fat that has not responded to healthy habits.
While your final results will depend on the areas treated and your body type, many patients notice improved proportions, smoother contours, and clothing that fits more comfortably. Results continue to improve as swelling fades, revealing a more refined shape over the following weeks and months.

Liposuction is a targeted fat-reduction procedure that shapes and sculpts areas that are resistant to healthy eating and exercise.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Are near a stable weight and want to fine-tune your shape
Have specific areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise
Can clearly identify the areas you want to improve, such as the stomach, love handles, thighs, arms, back, or under the chin
Have enough skin elasticity to allow the treated area to contract smoothly
Want body contouring rather than major weight loss
Liposuction may not be the right if you:
Want a weight loss procedure instead of targeted body contouring
Have loose skin that may need to be addressed with another procedure
Are currently pregnant or planning a pregnancy soon
Have medical concerns that could affect healing or surgical safety
Not every body contouring procedure is designed to accomplish the same goal. Comparing liposuction to other surgical treatments can help you better understand which option is best suited for your concerns, recovery preferences, and desired results.
