Will the fat come back?
This is by far one of the most common questions about liposuction Houston, Texas patient ask. Once fat deposits are removed through liposuction, they will not return unless you gain more than a few pounds.
How much fat should I have removed?
During your consultation, Dr. Cash will show you how much fat you can have removed during liposuction in Houston. She will have your safety foremost in mind, as well as natural looking body contours as the ultimate goal.
Can the fat that's removed be used in other areas of my body?
Yes, Dr. Cash can use the removed fat to add volume to other areas of your body. Fat can be transferred to the face to smooth wrinkles or to enhance your lips. Another popular area to transfer fat to is the buttock area for a gluteal augmentation. However, re-using fat in other areas of the body, particularly the breasts, is not normally a good idea as it can form calcifications and interfere with mammography in the future. Breast augmentation is most safely performed with the use of an implant.
I will have some scars after liposuction, right?
Scars are inevitable with any surgery, but most patients find that their scars are very small. When possible, Dr. Cash conceals them inside the belly button or in a skin crease, or where your underwear would hide them. Even if you have a scar on your thigh or in a visible location, chances are it will be very small and nearly invisible with time.
