Liposuction is a surgical procedure for both women and men who are looking to remove fat and contour their body. Liposuction is ideal for patients who are otherwise healthy but simply can’t seem to lose fat in specific body areas through diet and exercise.
At Houston Lipo Center, we specialize in micro tumescent liposuction, which uses smaller, less invasive “microcannulas” — resulting in less trauma and a faster recovery vs traditional liposuction. All liposuction procedures performed at Houston Lipo Center use the tumescent method in combination with only local anesthesia.
At Houston Lipo Center, we want your experience and your results to be second-to-none. We offer an upfront, no-nonsense approach to liposuction that’s honest about the results lipo can achieve as well as the cost of the procedure.
Houston Liposuction Center is proud to provide our patients with the most up-to-date, clinically-proven body contouring procedures available today, including SmartLipo (laser assisted liposuction). Our minimally-invasive approach to liposuction ensures exceptional results.
The abdomen is the most popular area for men and women. It’s divided into upper and lower areas. The amount of subcutaneous fat in the area will determine what results can be expected. Abdominal liposuction is our most common procedure performed.
The waist/hips, flanks, or love handles are a popular area often done in combination with the abdomen, or separately. This is one of the best areas to tackle if you want your jeans to fit better.
Whether it’s the inner or outer thighs, many patients are looking to reduce their thighs. Thigh liposuction can help eliminate saddlebags, help pants fit better, and get rid of “thigh rub.”
The chin and jawline have a huge impact on physical appearance that can’t be hidden by creative wardrobe options. The submental (chin and neck) area is an important aspect of your appearance. Chin liposuction can provide excellent results for patients with good skin elasticity.
Bras can push fat down, creating a “bra bulge” that often is resistant to diet and exercise. Back liposuction can make a huge difference in one’s appearance, especially for women.
For cases of pseudo-gynecomastia, chest liposuction alone can be a course of treatment to improve the look of the upper body and the fit of shirts.
Stubborn upper-arm fat and “bat wings” often resist diet and exercise. Arm liposuction slims and contours the upper arms for a firmer, more toned look and a better fit in sleeves.
There’s a perception that lipo is something only women do, but that’s just not true.
Wanting to look your best isn’t gender-specific. Here at Houston Lipo Center, we treat male and female patients. We offer specific procedures tailored towards men, such as the male chest, a common treatment for pseudo-gynecomastia.
There’s not one flat price for liposuction — it depends on how many areas you want treated and how large those areas are. Most liposuction cases range from $3,900 – $7,500.

Micro Tumescent Liposuction, also referred to as “microcannula” liposuction, is the chosen technique for liposuction performed at Houston Lipo Center. We choose to use this technique because it is known to be the least invasive and safest form of liposuction and can be done using only local anesthetic.
Yes. At Houston Lipo Center, we do offer laser assisted liposuction, however, use of a laser may not be recommended for every case. There are a variety of brand names associated with laser liposuction, including SmartLipo, CoolLipo, and LipoLite.
The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation. There are many cases where a tummy tuck may be recommended, but there is a fair amount of gray area and ultimately it will depend on your goals. In most cases, the deciding factor is the amount of loose skin.
The short answer is yes. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from your body and those fat cells don’t come back. However, that doesn’t mean you are immune to weight gain — you can still gain weight after a procedure, but fat does not “re-generate.”
Liposuction generally requires two days off work (the day of the procedure and the day after). After that, there is a two-week period with no heavy exercise. Generally, after two weeks most patients can return to their normal activities. Some swelling may persist as part of the body’s natural healing.
Weight loss isn’t the main goal of liposuction and should never be used as a replacement for diet and exercise. Fat is not very dense compared to muscle, so the amount of weight lost is slight and can be up to five pounds in extreme cases.
Our tumescent technique allows liposuction to be performed using only local anesthesia. This avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia, results in less bleeding and bruising, and allows for a quicker, smoother recovery.
Because we use tiny microcannulas, the incisions are very small — usually just a few millimeters. These typically heal as small, barely-visible marks that fade significantly over time.
Are you a good candidate for liposuction? If you want to know whether micro tumescent liposuction with Houston Lipo Center will help you achieve your body goals, the best way to know is to schedule a free consultation. The ideal patient is within 20-30 pounds of their ideal weight and is wanting to sculpt and contour their body in ways that diet and exercise haven’t been able to.
