Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is a specialized body contouring procedure appropriate for patients in good health with excess subcutaneous fat resistant to diet and exercise. The most successful outcomes occur in body areas with excellent skin tone, which enables optimal skin contraction after fat removal.

Patient Selection Criteria

Near normal body weight
Good overall health
Localized fat deposits unresponsive to traditional weight loss methods
Realistic aesthetic expectations

Targeted Treatment Areas

Dr. Casso performs liposuction on multiple body regions, including:

Trunk
Abdomen
Waist
Hips
Thighs
Inner knees
Submental region (under chin)

Liposuction Procedure Options

Office-Based Procedure

Limited liposuction procedures, such as submental fat removal, are performed in the office under local anesthesia and light oral sedation. This specialized technique is ideal for patients with good skin tone and localized fatty deposits in the neck region.

Hospital-Based Comprehensive Liposuction

More extensive liposuction procedures are performed at Houston Methodist St. John Hospital under general anesthesia. The process involves strategic fluid injection to minimize bruising, precise fat removal using specialized cannulae, and careful wound closure.

Advanced Fat Transfer Techniques

Dr. Casso offers advanced fat transfer options for patients seeking augmentation. Harvested fat can be purified and strategically reinjected into areas like the buttocks, providing a natural and long-lasting enhancement.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-procedure recovery involves wearing a compression garment for one month to reduce swelling and support optimal results. Patients can expect initial discomfort managed with oral medication, with bruising and swelling typically subsiding within two to four weeks.
