Liposuction in Granbury, TX

Target Stubborn Fat and Reveal a More Sculpted You

If you’ve been struggling with persistent areas of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Lakecrest Aesthetics, Dr. Steve Peterson offers advanced tumescent liposuction to permanently remove unwanted fat and enhance your natural contours.

What Is Liposuction?

Also known as a lipectomy, liposuction is a safe and effective body contouring procedure that removes fat from targeted areas of the body. While traditional liposuction has long been a go-to cosmetic treatment, Dr. Peterson uses the modern tumescent technique to maximize comfort and results.

 

Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a special solution containing lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (to reduce bleeding) directly into the fatty tissue. This technique allows for greater precision and may eliminate the need for general anesthesia, making the procedure safer and more comfortable.

Areas Liposuction Can Treat

  • Abdomen and waist
  • Hips and flanks (love handles)
  • Thighs and buttocks
  • Arms and back
  • Neck and under the chin
  • Chest (including male breast reduction)

Liposuction is ideal for patients who are close to their target weight but want to sculpt and define specific areas that are resistant to lifestyle changes. For those with loose or sagging skin, a lift procedure may be recommended in combination with liposuction for the best outcome.

Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction

  • More precise fat removal
  • Minimally invasive with tiny incisions
  • May reduce need for general anesthesia
  • Lower risk of bleeding and bruising
  • Quicker, more comfortable recovery

What to Expect from Your Procedure

  • Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and extent
  • Length of Procedure: Typically 2 to 5 hours, depending on the number of areas being treated
  • Outpatient Procedure: Patients return home the same day
Using small cannulas, Dr. Peterson will carefully suction out unwanted fat while sculpting your body to a leaner shape. At the end of the procedure, a compression garment, fitted for the areas treated, will be put on. Before being released from recovery, instructions on when and how to wear the garment will be provided.

Liposuction Recovery & Results

  • Downtime: Most patients resume light activities within 1 to 2 days
  • Recovery Time: Patients may gradually increase activities over the next 2 to 4 weeks with unrestricted activity resuming at 6 weeks.
  • Results: Visible almost immediately, with continued improvement as swelling decreases

Patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to preserve their results long-term. Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, but remaining fat cells can still expand if weight is gained.
