Liposuction: The Most Common Type of Plastic Surgery In Fort Worth

Filed Under Plastic Surgery | 2 Comments

According to a recent poll conducted by Plastic Surgery Fort Worth, liposuction is the most common type of plastic surgery performed in the Fort Worth area. This shouldn’t surprise you at all since liposuction is relatively cheap and an easy procedure that literally sucks away fat from different parts of your body and then you are home that evening to cook dinner for your family.

For those of you who don’t know, the terms lipoplasty, liposculpture, and liposuction all mean the same thing and are basically the same procedure. Lipo is best suited for those that are close to their ideal body weight that are looking for a reduction of fat in those hard to loose places like the hips, abdomen, or thighs. Those who have had a stable weight for at least 6 months do much better with this procedure.

There are two types of liposuction – tumescent and ultrasonic. The tumescent liposuction is the standard procedure which fills the fat with a tumescent fluid [saline] making the fat stiff so that it can be suctioning out with long rods. Very tiny incisions are used to insert the rods. Ultrasonic liposuction is similar to tumescent. The initial procedure is the same but then ultrasonic energy is used to liquefy the fat before it is sucked out with rods.

The second most common type of procedure performed, according to our poll is breast augmentation.
