Do you feel like no matter what you do, you can’t get rid of that stubborn belly fat? Abdominal fat, along with other unwanted fat on the arms, thighs, buttocks, and chin seem to resist all traditional weight loss methods.
Many people find liposuction to be the most effective solution. With liposuction in Houston, you can reduce undesirable fat in these areas, achieving smoother, leaner contours and boosting your self-esteem and confidence.
People seek out liposuction for various reasons, but the most common is stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is a powerful cosmetic procedure that uses suction to dislodge and remove stubborn fat from the body.
Being one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, you’re not alone in dealing with unwanted and stubborn fat.
The most popular liposuction surgery is called Lipo 360. This is having liposuction done three hundred and sixty degrees around your midsection. Lipo 360 improves your abdomen, waist and hips.
LIPO 360 helps patients achieve a slimmer, shapely profile that boosts their confidence, self-esteem and comfort.
The perfect candidate is healthy and has tried diet and exercise to remove the unwanted fat. It is important to have realistic expectations about what liposuction and lipo 360 can do to improve your body’s contours. Think carefully about your decision to undergo any type of procedure, including liposuction in Houston. Once you’ve determined this is the right route for you, there are qualifications you need to review.
You must be at a healthy weight before surgery. Naturally, you have pockets of excess fat that we need to get rid of – that’s what liposuction is for! But all patients should aim to achieve a healthy BMI before considering liposuction. Think of this procedure as putting the final touches on your silhouette.
You should not have any ongoing infections or be undergoing any serious medical treatments. The more elastic your skin is, the better.

Dr. Ashley Steinberg2022-04-26 22:11:252022-08-15 17:27:48Liposuction Case #3Your consultation appointment is your chance to speak one-on-one with Dr. Ashley Steinberg. You get to see if Liposuction is right for you and your goals.
Your first step toward liposuction surgery is to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Steinberg. Once Dr. Steinberg has met with you and determined that you are a good candidate for surgery, you will begin working with a Patient Care Coordinator to plan for your procedure.
It is important that you take some time off from work or school before your procedure. You should also plan on staying home and resting for at least several weeks. During this time, you’ll need to wear a compression garment and avoid strenuous activities as well, so plan ahead and make arrangements to possibly have help at home.
In preparing for liposuction, you may be asked to:
This is why your consultation is so crucial! Dr. Steinberg will figure this all out for you.
You have many options when it comes to liposuction surgical procedures. The most common method is suction-assisted liposuction. Most other methods are types of suction-assisted lipo. This tried and true method involves using a thin hollow tube called a cannula. The cannula has a suction tube attached to it, and as your surgeon moves and agitates it, it will dislodge the fat and remove it through the tube with suction.
Most types of liposuction, such as those listed below, are simple variations of this traditional suction-assisted liposuction method.
With tumescent liposuction, lidocaine and epinephrine are utilized in order to swell the fat that is to be removed. This makes it easier to see for your surgeon. It’s also easier to remove this way. In many cases, bleeding is also reduced with tumescent liposuction.
With power-assisted liposuction, the cannula that is used to agitate and remove fat also vibrates, making it easier to break up fat cells during the removal process.
Finally, ultrasound-assisted liposuction is often used in tough areas where fat is more difficult to remove (the back, for example). This method utilizes ultrasound energy to infuse high amounts of energy throughout the targeted areas. In turn, this dissolves the targeted fat and makes it easier to suction out with a cannula.
This is a popular term referring to having lipo a full three hundred and sixty degrees around the mid-section of your body, usually involving your abdomen and waist / hips.
Lipo 360 is the best liposuction in Houston – the best way to restore your body to it’s youthful contours.
The best way to know if you qualify for liposuction surgery is to book a liposuction consultation appointment. During this appointment, you and Dr. Ashley Steinberg, along with a Patient Care Coordinator, will discuss your medical history, overall health, and ultimate goals for surgery. Dr. Steinberg will do a physical examination, and finally, you will be able to discuss your options together.
Your consultation appointment is your chance to ask important questions about the surgery. Remember to bring a pad of paper with your questions written down so that you don’t forget any. It’s also not a bad idea to take notes during the appointment. Dr. Steinberg will be providing you with invaluable advice and instructions as you move forward.
The specific details of your surgery will depend on what type of liposuction you will be undergoing and several other factors. Dr. Steinberg will give you exact details about what to expect during surgery when you speak with her on consultation and before your procedure.
On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed by our staff and will meet with Dr. Ashley Steinberg. She analyze your anatomy, performing several markings on your body, which will guide her during surgery. At this point, it’s a good time to bring up any remaining questions or concerns you may have. From there, you will be taken to the operating room where you will be given general anesthesia for your comfort!
During surgery, in order to dislodge and remove unwanted fat, Dr. Ashley Steinberg will make small incisions in the necessary locations. A thin tube called a cannula will then be inserted into each incision. She will break up the fat cells with the cannula and then vacuum them into a separate receptacle through the cannula. You will be on IV to help avoid any dehydration.
The details of your exact procedure may vary slightly, depending on the specific type of liposuction being performed and the procedural plan that Dr. Ashley Steinberg has prepared for you.
Liposuction Houston Before and After Photos
After you awake from the anesthesia, Dr. Ashley Steinberg will meet with you to discuss how the procedure went and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. Liposuction is usually an outpatient procedure, which means you will be able to go home shortly after you wake up from surgery. Large volume liposuction will require an overnight stay in a hospital or facility.
You will need to rest for several weeks after your procedure, closely following the recovery instructions given to you by Dr. Ashley Steinberg. These instructions will include wearing a compression garment 24/7 for 6 weeks, avoiding strenuous physical activity (except walking), and caring for bruising and swelling. Keep in mind that bruising and swelling are normal after surgery and will diminish over time. Learn exactly what you can expect with our article on liposuction results week by week.
If liposuction was the only procedure being performed, most patients will be able to return to work (depending on their occupation) within two weeks. You will meet again with Dr. Ashley Steinberg after two weeks so that she can examine the progress of your healing and answer any further questions you may have.
After approximately four weeks and once you have been cleared by Dr. Ashley Steinberg, you will be able to resume normal activity, including regular exercise. In order to maintain optimal results from your procedure, it is crucial that you stay within a healthy weight range. Not exercising consistently or abiding by a consistent diet can jeopardize your results and may lead to the reestablishment of the same stubborn fat.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and possible complications associated with liposuction in Houston. Make sure you are aware of these and consider them as you weigh the pros and cons of getting surgery. These risks and complications include, but are not limited to:
In rare cases, pulmonary complications, heart problems, or kidney-related issues may occur. Dr. Steinberg will discuss these risks with you and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
For several reasons, the cost of liposuction in Houston can vary greatly. Most notably, keep in mind that liposuction may be performed extensively on several parts of the body or acutely in just one small area. If you plan to get liposuction on your arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs, for example, the procedure will cost more than a simple liposuction surgery that targets only the arms.
Likewise, the specific liposuction method used by your plastic surgeon will vary the final cost as well. And finally, there will be added costs if you plan to use the fat removed during liposuction in another place in your body — for example, in the breasts or buttocks (fat transfer procedure).
To know your final cost estimate, book a consultation appointment with Dr. Steinberg to discuss your options and goals.
How long does liposuction last?
The process of removing fat from the body through liposuction is indeed permanent. That is, the targeted fat cells are completely removed from the body and discarded (or used elsewhere on the body as with a fat transfer).
On the other hand, calling liposuction absolutely permanent isn’t exactly accurate. This is because an individual can technically regain the fat they lost through liposuction if they do not maintain a healthy weight after surgery.
Will liposuction help you lose weight?
It’s important to remember that liposuction is not a weight loss solution. While it will make your contours slimmer and smoother by removing pockets of excess fat, there are limits to how much fat can be removed with liposuction. Significant fat reduction necessitates another method of weight loss, such as traditional diet and exercise.
Can we use the removed fat to enhance other parts of the body?
Certainly. The process of removing unwanted fat from one part of the body and relocating it to another part of the body is called a fat transfer. Specifically, a fat transfer to the breast is a form of breast augmentation that can increase your cup size and/or change the shape of your breasts. Alternatively, fat that is transferred from an unwanted area of the body to the buttocks is typically called a Brazilian butt lift or BBL.
The fat transfer process is often coveted for its natural-looking results. You are a good candidate for a fat transfer breast augmentation procedure if you have viable options for donor fat and are looking to make relatively small changes to the enhanced area.
Does liposuction come with a mommy makeover?
Yes, often mommy makeovers involve some form of liposuction.
A mommy makeover is a set of procedures that aims to restore the female body to its pre-pregnancy state or enhance a body that has been affected by the physical changes of pregnancy, childbirth, and breast-feeding. Mommy makeovers typically include a combination of liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and/or breast lift. Therefore, the term simply refers to a surgery that involves some or all of these individual procedures.
Most women who seek mommy makeovers are looking to fix challenges such as excess skin on the abdomen, stretch marks, loss of volume in the breasts, drooping or sagging breasts, and/or other pockets of excess fat and skin.
What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is the best liposuction in Houston – an all-inclusive liposuction procedure that is used to contour and shape the midsection, 360 degrees around. The possible areas for treatment are the upper and lower abdominals, the flanks on both sides, and the lower and mid-back.
