Liposuction in Houston, TX
Refine Stubborn Areas. Reveal a Shape That Feels Like You.
Ready to Refine the Areas That Haven't Responded to Healthy Habits?
Even when you eat well and stay active, genetics can leave certain areas looking fuller or less defined than the rest of your body. Liposuction removes localized fat to create smoother contours and more balanced proportions - without changing what makes your shape uniquely yours.
If you are already close to a stable weight but still have specific pockets of fat that feel out of proportion, liposuction may help refine those areas.
With liposuction in Houston, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Ogu takes the time to understand what you want to change and what you want to preserve. Every treatment plan is personalized around your anatomy, comfort, and vision for your results.
Is Liposuction Right for your Body Goals?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a substitute for weight loss. It is most helpful when you are close to a stable weight but still have specific areas that do not reflect the work you have put into your body.
Liposuction May Be a Good Fit If:
You can identify specific areas you want to refine. Common concerns include the abdomen, waist, arms, thighs, back, chest, or beneath the chin.
Your weight is relatively stable. You want to shape resistant areas rather than pursue significant weight loss.
Your skin has enough elasticity. The skin should be able to adapt to the area's slimmer contour after fat removal.
You are in good overall health. You can safely undergo surgery and follow Dr. Stan's recovery instructions.
Another Treatment May Better Fit Your Goals If:
Loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles are your main concern. A tummy tuck may provide the firmer, flatter result you want.
You want significant weight loss. Liposuction is designed to refine contours after you are near a stable weight.
Cellulite dimples are the primary concern. Dr. Stan may recommend Avéli Cellulite Treatment rather than fat removal alone.
During your consultation, Dr. Stan will review your health, skin quality, proportions, and goals before recommending the approach most likely to create a balanced result.
Which Areas Can Be Treated With Liposuction?
Your treatment is planned around the areas that feel out of proportion with the rest of your body. Using awake liposuction, J-Plasma, Avéli Cellulite Treatment, and traditional liposuction techniques, Dr. Stan personalizes your procedure to remove stubborn fat in one or a combination of the following areas:
Chin
Abdomen
Waist and Midsection
Thighs
Upper and Lower back
Chest

Results You Can Expect From Your Liposuction Treatment
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.

Which Body Contouring Option Fits Your Goals?
Not every contouring procedure is designed to solve the same concern. This quick comparison can help you understand which conversation to have with Dr. Stan.
| Option | Best For | What It Addresses | Recovery Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liposuction | Localized fat and multi-area contouring | Removes fat through small incisions to refine shape | Light activity often resumes within days; swelling improves gradually |
| Awake Liposuction | Selected areas without general anesthesia | Uses local tumescent anesthesia during in-office fat removal | Many patients return to light activity within a few days |
| Tummy Tuck | Loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles | Removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall | A more involved recovery with several weeks of activity restrictions |
| Fat Transfer | Slimming one area while restoring volume elsewhere | Uses fat removed through liposuction to enhance the breasts, hips, buttocks, or face | Recovery involves both donor and enhancement areas |
| Body Lift | Widespread loose skin after major weight loss | Removes and reshapes excess skin around larger areas of the body | Usually requires a longer recovery based on the extent of surgery |
If your broader goal includes restoring breast volume or creating more balanced upper-body proportions, Dr. Stan may also discuss breast augmentation as part of a personalized surgical plan.
What Recovery Looks Like After Liposuction
Recovery varies with the areas treated, the technique used, and whether you combine procedures. Dr. Stan will give you instructions specific to your surgical plan, but a typical progression may look like this:
Days 1–3:
Swelling, tenderness, and some fluid drainage can be expected. You will wear a compression garment to help control swelling and support your new contours.
Days 4–7:
Gentle movement is encouraged. Many patients feel comfortable returning to light daily tasks while continuing to avoid strenuous activity.
Weeks 2–3:
Bruising and swelling continue to fade, and you may ease back into more of your regular routine.
Weeks 4–6:
Your shape becomes more defined as swelling improves. Dr. Stan will advise when you can safely resume exercise and heavier activity.
3 Months & Beyond:
Your contours continue to settle and refine. Maintaining a stable weight helps protect your long-term result.

Liposuction Questions to Consider Before Moving Forward
How Long Do Liposuction Results Last?
The removed fat cells do not return. However, remaining fat cells can still change with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight and healthy habits is important for preserving your contours.
Is Liposuction a Weight Loss Procedure?
No. Liposuction is intended to contour specific areas, not produce major weight loss. The best candidates are generally close to a stable weight and want to refine localized fat deposits.
Will Liposuction Leave Scars?
Liposuction uses small access incisions that Dr. Stan places as discreetly as possible. Their visibility depends on the treatment area and how your body heals, but they typically become less noticeable over time.
Can Liposuction Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. Depending on your goals, Dr. Stan may combine liposuction with a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, fat transfer, or another body contouring procedure to address multiple concerns through one coordinated plan.
