Liposuction in Grapevine, TX
Even if you lead an active, healthy lifestyle enjoying the trails and parks in Grapevine, you may struggle with stubborn areas of fat that just won’t respond to diet and exercise. These isolated pockets of fat often resist your best efforts to slim and tone, which is where liposuction comes in. Liposuction surgery is consistently one of the most popular and effective options when it comes to eliminating unwanted fat and reshaping the body.
At WOW Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Prem Patel and his expert team proudly offer cutting-edge liposuction procedures in Grapevine to help their patients achieve a more sculpted appearance.
With liposuction at WOW, our goal is for you to look WOW, feel WOW, and be WOW!
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic body sculpting procedure designed for targeted fat removal, resulting in a more slender and toned physique. It’s especially helpful for treating “trouble” spots that don’t respond well to other attempts to trim them down.
Liposuction is incredibly versatile and can treat nearly any spot from your chin to your ankles, including:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Flanks (love handles)
- Upper and lower back
- Chest (including male chest contouring)
- Hips
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Chin
- Neck
Because of consistent innovations in liposuction devices and technology, today’s liposuction procedures are safer, more efficient, and deliver smoother, more natural-looking results.
What Are My Liposuction Options?
Every liposuction treatment at WOW Cosmetic Surgery is custom-tailored to you and your desired results. Dr. Patel is skilled and experienced in several liposuction techniques, including:
- Awake tumescent liposuction
- VASER® liposuction
- Lipo 360 (360-degree liposuction for sculpting your midsection)
- Hi-Definition Liposuction
During your liposuction consultation, Dr. Patel will recommend the approach that will work best for your goals and body type.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is best for individuals who have isolated fat pockets and are close to their ideal body weight. It’s not a weight-loss method, but rather a body contouring treatment. Good candidates for liposuction should be nonsmokers in overall good health. You should also have good skin elasticity and have realistic expectations for your results.
How Is Liposuction Performed
Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of your procedure. Once the anesthesia is administered, small incisions are made in the treatment area, and tumescent fluid is injected. Dr. Patel then uses the selected liposuction method to loosen and suction the excess fat away.
When the treatment is complete, your incisions are left open to allow fluid to drain, and dressings and a compression garment are applied to minimize swelling.
What Can I Expect During Liposuction Recovery?
After your liposuction procedure, you will experience some bruising, tenderness, and soreness for the first several days. A compression garment will help minimize swelling and support healing, as well as help your skin “bounce back” to its newly slimmer shape.
You can likely return to work and your regular activities about a week after surgery, but will need to refrain from strenuous activities and exercise for around four weeks, or until cleared by Dr. Patel. Following Dr. Patel’s aftercare instructions closely will ensure optimal healing and results.
What Can I Expect From My Liposuction Results?
You’ll notice some results from your liposuction immediately after your procedure, with these results becoming more visible as swelling subsides over the next few months. Soon, you’ll be able to enjoy showing off your gorgeous new contours in clothing from chic boutiques in historic downtown Grapevine. Liposuction results are designed to last long-term if you maintain a healthy, stable weight.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction
Yes, patients often choose to address multiple areas of the body in one session for more balanced, comprehensive results.
Yes! Liposuction is the first step in a fat transfer procedure, also known as fat grafting. Once the fat is harvested, it is purified and strategically reinjected in procedures like:
- A Brazilian Butt Lift
- Fat transfer breast augmentation for volume enhancement
- Facial fat transfer to restore youthful fullness
This approach reduces volume in places you don’t want it and uses that excess fat to restore volume where you need it.
Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t tighten loose skin. In many cases, Dr. Patel will recommend Renuvion/J-Plasma for internal skin tightening along with your liposuction procedure. For mild skin laxity, a non-surgical skin tightening treatment like Thermage® may be a good complementary procedure. For severe skin laxity, skin excision is often necessary, like a tummy tuck, a surgical body lift, brachioplasty, etc.
With VASER® Hi-Definition liposuction, fat can be precisely sculpted to reveal your underlying abdominal muscles to help give the appearance of a six-pack.
