Liposuction

Liposuction at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute precisely removes localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, refining contours across the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, neck, and chin. Dr. Jejurikar uses tumescent liposuction technique, in which a saline and epinephrine solution is infused prior to fat removal to minimise bleeding and facilitate smoother extraction. Liposuction is frequently combined with tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, or arm lift to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

Liposuction performed by Dr. Sam Jejurikar at his North Dallas practice is a targeted fat reduction procedure designed to address anatomically localised adipose deposits that are genetically resistant to reduction through dietary management and physical training. It is important to understand that liposuction is a body contouring tool rather than a weight-loss procedure — optimal candidates are within a reasonable range of their target weight, with good skin elasticity and specific areas of disproportionate fat accumulation. Dr. Jejurikar performs liposuction using the tumescent technique as the foundational preparation step. A tumescent solution — a dilute mixture of saline, epinephrine (for vasoconstriction to minimise blood loss), and lidocaine (for local anaesthesia) — is infused into the treatment zone before fat removal begins. The infiltration causes the fat lobules to swell and firms the tissue, allowing the cannula to move through the fat layer more smoothly and selectively while the vasoconstriction significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding. Fat is then evacuated using a suction cannula of appropriate diameter, with multiple passes in a cross-hatched pattern to produce uniform, smooth removal rather than focal troughs. Common treatment areas at this practice include the abdomen and periumbilical region, the lateral flanks and love handles, the inner and outer thighs, the upper arms, the bra-roll and upper back, and the submental zone (under the chin and along the jawline). Chin and neck liposuction can dramatically improve jawline definition and is often performed as an isolated procedure under local anaesthesia. Liposuction is frequently combined with other body contouring procedures at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. Flank and waist liposuction is routinely added to tummy tuck surgery to refine the waistline. Liposuction of the donor zones is required in Brazilian butt lift surgery, where the harvested fat is purified and reinjected into the buttocks. Liposuction of the arms or inner thighs is often paired with an arm lift or thigh lift when significant skin laxity accompanies the fat excess. Recovery from liposuction involves wearing a compression garment for four to six weeks, with return to desk work typically within one week and strenuous exercise at four to six weeks.
