Some fat will not budge no matter how clean you eat or how hard you work out. Often that is genetics, not effort, and those stubborn pockets are exactly what liposuction addresses.

Overview
At Acadia Women’s Health in Crowley, our surgeons use liposuction to permanently remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, waist, back, arms, thighs, breasts, and chin, so your shape looks more balanced and proportional.
Liposuction removes the layer of fat that sits between your skin and muscle. Your surgeon makes a few tiny incisions and inserts a thin steel tube, called a cannula, which is connected to a suction pump. Moving it through the fatty layer creates small tunnels and draws the fat out. Once those tunnels collapse and heal, the result is a smoother, more contoured shape in the treated area. Because the fat cells that are removed do not grow back, the change is lasting, as long as you keep a steady weight afterward.
Here is the honest version up front: liposuction removes fat. It is not a weight-loss procedure, and it does not tighten loose skin. If your main concern is loose skin rather than a fat pocket, lipo alone may not be enough, and we will tell you that. Figuring out which procedure actually fits is what the consultation is for.

The benefits
Liposuction removes stubborn fat pockets that diet and exercise have not moved, smoothing and contouring areas like the stomach, flanks, back, arms, thighs, and chin. The goal is a more proportional, balanced shape rather than a smaller number on the scale.
The results last, because the fat cells that are removed do not return. What protects that result is keeping your weight steady afterward, so liposuction works alongside a healthy lifestyle rather than replacing one. Every body is different, and we will talk about what is realistic for you before you decide anything.
Your options
Lipo 360 treats the whole midsection in one procedure instead of just one spot. It addresses the abdomen, the flanks (love handles), the lower back, and the bra-line area, all the way around your torso. Because it works from every angle, the result tends to look smooth and natural whether you are viewed from the front, the side, or the back.
The other common question we get is how liposuction compares to a tummy tuck, and the answer comes down to skin. Liposuction removes fat but does not address loose or excess skin. A tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, which lipo cannot do. So if your concern is a stubborn fat pocket and your skin still has good elasticity, liposuction may be all you need. If you have loose skin, often after pregnancy or significant weight loss, a tummy tuck, or a combination of the two, may make more sense.
What to expect
When it is done by an experienced surgeon, liposuction is a well-established procedure with a strong safety record. We use a technique called tumescent anesthesia, which numbs the treatment area, reduces bleeding, and lowers the chance of complications. One benefit of this approach is that you can stay awake during the procedure, which many women find reassuring.
Tumescent technique also tends to make recovery more manageable. Less bleeding and less tissue trauma usually mean less bruising and swelling, and because the area stays numb for hours afterward, post-surgery discomfort is often reduced.
We take safety seriously, and we will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. We would rather you ask questions than sit at home guessing.

Every woman is different, so the real answer comes from a consultation. Liposuction works best when you are already near a steady weight and your skin still has good elasticity. If loose skin is your main concern rather than a fat pocket, we will tell you honestly that a tummy tuck may be the better fit.
A lot of women think about this for years before they ever ask, sometimes because one stubborn area has bothered them for a long time. You do not have to be one hundred percent ready to get information. Come in, get real answers, and decide from there.
You may be a good candidate if
Stubborn fat pockets that diet and exercise have not moved
Your skin still has good elasticity
Your weight has been steady and you are near your goal
You want a more proportional shape rather than significant weight loss
You are in good general health with realistic expectations
Combine & save
Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck when both fat and loose skin need addressing, and the fat removed during lipo is what makes a Brazilian butt lift possible.
