About Liposuction

Liposuction removes localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise to create improved body contours and proportions. Dr. Khan specializes in high-definition body contouring with etching, which not only eliminates unwanted fat but also sculpts and defines your natural curves and muscle contours for a more balanced, attractive silhouette. Tip: Harvested fat can also be used in autologous fat transfer procedures, typically breast augmentation, BBL, face and hands.

  • Tumescent Liposuction – Gold standard technique using local anesthesia for safety and precision

Popular Treatment Areas:
  • Abdomen and waist for hourglass definition
  • Flanks (love handles) and back rolls
  • Thighs (inner, outer, front) for leg contouring
  • Arms and underarm areas

Liposuction FAQ

Safe liposuction typically removes 3-5 liters (6-11 pounds) of fat in a single session, though the exact amount depends on your body size, health status, and treatment areas. Dr. Khan prioritizes safety over maximum volume removal, focusing on creating smooth, natural contours rather than dramatic weight loss. Large volume liposuction (over 5 liters) requires special precautions and overnight monitoring. The goal is body contouring and proportion improvement, not significant weight reduction. Patients should be within 30 pounds of their ideal weight for optimal results. Multiple areas can be treated simultaneously within safe limits, and some patients may benefit from staged procedures for extensive contouring. Dr. Khan evaluates your individual anatomy and goals to determine the safe, effective amount of fat removal that will achieve your desired results.
 Liposuction provides immediate, dramatic fat reduction through surgical removal, while non-surgical treatments, such as CoolSculpting, offer gradual, modest improvements over several months. Liposuction can remove significant amounts of fat (3-5 liters) in a single session with immediate visible results, while non-surgical methods typically reduce fat by 20-25% per treatment area over 2-3 months. Liposuction works on all body areas and fat types, whereas non-surgical treatments are limited to specific areas and fat characteristics. Surgical liposuction requires downtime and recovery, but provides permanent fat cell removal and dramatic contouring. Non-surgical options have no downtime but require multiple sessions and provide subtle improvement. Dr. Khan helps you choose the best approach based on your goals, timeline, and desired level of improvement.
Liposuction results evolve over 3-6 months as swelling subsides and skin contracts. Initial results are visible immediately after surgery, though swelling obscures final contours. Weeks 2-4: Most swelling reduces, allowing you to see significant improvement. Months 2-3: Continued swelling reduction reveals more defined contours. Months 3-6: Final results emerge as all swelling resolves and skin tightens to new contours. Factors affecting the timeline include the amount of fat removed, the number of areas treated, your healing characteristics, and compliance with post-operative care. Compression garments, lymphatic massage, and following activity restrictions help optimize results and reduce swelling. Most patients are thrilled with their appearance by 6-8 weeks, though subtle improvements continue. The fat cells removed are permanently eliminated, ensuring long-lasting results with stable weight maintenance.
Skin tightening after liposuction depends on factors such as your age, skin quality, the amount of fat removed, and the technique used. Patients with good skin elasticity (typically under 40-45) often experience significant natural skin contraction over 3-6 months. Advanced techniques, such as VASER and laser-assisted liposuction, promote additional skin tightening through the application of heat energy. However, patients with poor skin elasticity, a history of significant weight loss, or large-volume fat removal may require additional skin tightening procedures. Dr. Khan evaluates your skin quality during consultation and may recommend combining liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck for optimal results. Factors that improve skin tightening include being younger, maintaining good overall health, not smoking, following a proper diet, and adhering to post-operative care instructions, including the use of a compression garment and gradually increasing activity levels.
Liposuction costs in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on the number of areas treated, the technique used, the amount of fat removed, and the surgical complexity. Single area liposuction generally costs $4,000-$6,000, while multiple areas range $8,000-$12,000. Factors affecting price include specific body areas treated (the abdomen costs more than the arms), advanced techniques such as VASER or laser-assisted methods, the surgical time required, and facility fees. Large-volume or 360-degree liposuction typically costs more due to its increased complexity and time requirements. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, our comprehensive fee includes pre-surgical consultations, surgical facility fees, anesthesia services, all surgical supplies, post-operative compression garments, and follow-up care. We offer financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit, with 0% interest options and payment plans of up to 60 months, making body contouring more affordable.
Liposuction can effectively treat almost any area where stubborn fat accumulates. Popular areas include the abdomen and waist for hourglass definition, flanks (love handles) and back for a smooth silhouette, thighs (inner, outer, front) for leg contouring, arms and bra line for upper body sculpting, and neck/chin for facial definition. Less common but effective areas include knees, ankles, calves, male chest (gynecomastia), and pubic area. The key is having adequate fat deposits and good skin elasticity for optimal results. Some areas, like the abdomen, may benefit from combining liposuction with other procedures likea tummy tuck for comprehensive improvement. Dr. Khan evaluates each area individually to determine if liposuction alone will achieve your goals or if additional procedures would provide better results. Multiple areas can often be treated simultaneously for comprehensive body contouring and transformation.
