Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits to create a slimmer, more sculpted physique. Using a specialized suction technique, unwanted fat cells are permanently removed from targeted areas, helping refine body contours and improve overall proportions. While it is not a weight-loss solution, liposuction is an effective way to address areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, resulting in smoother, more balanced contours.

VIEW PHOTOSThe most suitable candidates for liposuction include those who are at their ideal weight, do not smoke, and have elastic but firm skin. They do not have a medical condition that may negatively affect their healing and have optimistic but realistic expectations of the procedure’s results.
During the consultation, you will discuss your medical history with Dr. Rodriguez, from your weight, diet, and exercise routines to your medications and previous procedures. You will also undergo a physical examination to check your fat layers, skin elasticity, and other problems that may need additional procedures.

Known for her compassion, transparency, and commitment to patient education and safety, she provides individualized care supported by a state-of-the-art facility, enhanced recovery protocols, and comprehensive follow-up—all designed to ensure you feel cared for, confident, and understood throughout your transformation.
Widely regarded as a top board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston and beyond, Dr. Rodriguez's excellence has been recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Best Plastic Surgeons and by Texas Super Doctors multiple times. She is trusted for her meticulous precision and genuine dedication to helping patients look and feel their most authentic and confident.
Liposuction will remove stubborn fat layers using a cannula. Small puncture incisions will be made in discrete body parts, and then the cannula will be inserted into an incision. The cannula then suctions the excess fat out. After the procedure, the small incisions remain open to allow excess fluid to drain, as they heal on their own.
Paying for your procedure shouldn't stand in the way of feeling confident and comfortable in your skin. We offer flexible financing options, including CareCredit® and PatientFi®, to help make your treatment more manageable and accessible.
Our team will guide you through your options and support you during every step of your transformation.
Explore FinancingYou will likely be able to go home soon after your liposuction. A compression garment must be worn over the treated areas. These garments may have absorbent pads for a few days until the small puncture incisions stop leaking fluid. You may return to work 1 week after surgery and resume gym visits four to six weeks after liposuction.
You can expect some swelling in the treated areas, but a compression garment and lymphatic massage therapy can help with this. You may see your final results in a few months.
The price of liposuction depends on the surgeon’s fees, operating room costs, anesthesia fees, medical tests, medications, and other relevant expenses. You will learn more about the cost of the procedure during the consultation.
Liposuction can be performed on the abdomen, back, chest (in men), upper arms, inner thighs, bra line, neck, hips, inner thighs, flanks, and armpits.
Liposuction can remove stubborn fat deposits that cannot be addressed by diet or exercise.
You can get liposuction with several other procedures, including tummy tucks, breast reductions, facelifts, and lower body lifts.
Fat cells cannot regrow after liposuction. Fat levels may change if you gain a few pounds, but the liposuction area will likely stay slimmer than other body parts. Liposuction results last a very long time if you avoid significant weight fluctuations. If you put on a lot of weight, the liposuction results may be less noticeable.
In most cases, you will be under general anesthesia during liposuction, so it will not be at all painful. However, you may feel slight discomfort when you wake up from the procedure.
The small puncture incisions will be made in discrete locations that are not easily visible, and postsurgical marks will likely fade quickly.
