If you are ready to undergo liposuction, it is a good idea to understand the advanced techniques our body sculpting surgeons use to refine your shape, reduce recovery time, and deliver the most dynamic possible results.
At North Texas Plastic Surgery, our board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons can combine their surgical expertise with innovative technologies such as VASER lipo, MicroAire PAL, BodyTite Turbo, and Quantum RF to maximize fat removal and skin tightening during liposuction for Plano patients.
Liposuction removes excess fat using a specialized suction technique after we make small incisions in the targeted area and insert a thin cannula. We gently dislodge and suction the fat, creating a slimmer, more sculpted contour patients.
Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER) technology may be used to improve the results of a traditional liposuction for patients in Plano. VASER uses ultrasound energy to liquify the fat before it is removed, making extraction smoother and more precise. Benefits include:
Liposuction can be performed on nearly any area of your body where you struggle with stubborn fat, including:
Our plastic surgeons can help patients achieve even greater definition by using VASER technology or power-assisted liposuction (PAL) from MicroAire that breaks up even more fat on its own, without requiring the doctor to manually move it back and forth.
You can consult on your liposuction procedure in our Plano office and we will schedule the surgery itself at our in-office surgical facility, under anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The length of the procedure depends on the number of treatment areas, but most procedures last one to three hours.
After the fat is removed, our surgeons may incorporate BodyTite Turbo and Quantum RF skin tightening into the procedure to achieve the best possible results. These advanced radiofrequency-assisted treatments heat the underlying tissue, which stimulates collagen production and tightens your loose skin after the fat has been cleared away.
BodyTite Turbo uses controlled radiofrequency energy to help your tissues and skin contract while minimizing downtime, while Quantum RF offers next-level skin tightening and refinement by boosting your body’s collagen and elastin production for long-term improvements!
Recovery from liposuction varies, but modern techniques such as VASER and radiofrequency-assisted tightening shorten your downtime compared to older approaches. While your recovery depends on several factors, Plano patients can expect the following after their liposuction procedure:
The final liposuction results continue to improve over several months as your swelling subsides and collagen remodeling takes place.
This procedure removes fat cells permanently! With VASER technology and adjunctive skin tightening, patients find that their liposuction results are smoother, firmer, and longer lasting. However, to keep your results, you must maintain a stable weight, and you may find your new contour motivates you to adopt healthier long-term habits.
Our plastic surgeons at North Texas Plastic Surgery are leaders in advanced body shaping.

You’ll love the results and will want to show it off!
