Liposuction is one of the most effective fat reduction techniques available. It involves using a hollow tube (cannula) to suction away excess fat cells from a targeted part of your body. Excess fat deposits under your skin can negatively affect your contours and minimize the prominence of the underlying muscles. Sometimes, exercise and a good diet aren’t enough to remove excess fat cells from targeted areas, and that’s where liposuction enters the picture. Liposuction in Dallas allows you to remove highly targeted pockets of unwanted fat.

Dr. Chiodo’s Tumescent Liposuction Technique
Dr. Chiodo performs a highly personalized tumescent liposuction surgery to ensure safe, consistent, and natural-looking results with minimal downtime. During your consultation, he carefully examines your body, asks about your concerns and goals, identifies the parts of the body with excess fat deposits, and reviews your medical history. He also marks the treatment areas with excess fat pockets, following which he describes the entire treatment process. Dr. Chiodo performs liposuction in Dallas in his state-of-the-art operating room under local anesthesia.
During the liposuction procedure, Dr. Chiodo injects a specialized fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine into the targeted fat deposits. The local anesthetic reduces pain, and the epinephrine reduces bleeding and bruising, thus ensuring optimal results. Dr. Chiodo makes an extremely small incision (one-quarter of an inch) on the targeted area, following which a cannula is inserted. The cannula loosens and suctions away excess fat cells from your body. Finally, the incision is closed with sutures.
Recovery After Liposuction
Liposuction involves minimal downtime. You will have to wear compression garments for around 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing and avoid strenuous workouts for 4 weeks, but you can resume most of your daily activities and work within a week. The redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising should gradually dissipate after a week. The scar from your liposuction in Dallas will gradually heal and become barely perceptible, especially since it’s placed on the natural creases of your skin.
