Lipo in Plano

Women and men can reduce the size of their breast tissue with liposuction.

For men, this surgical technique is called gynecomastia surgery and refers to a condition that causes enlarged male breast tissue. Gynecomastia surgery involves liposuction to loosen and remove excess fat in the chest. In some cases, it may also involve excision to remove excess skin or breast tissue to shape a more masculine contour.

For women, they can get a breast reduction, which involves lipo, in Plano to create a smaller bust. This not only improves breast proportions but also relieves neck, back, and shoulder pain associated with large breasts.

Many body contouring surgeries can include liposuction with excision to create a slimmer and more sculpted physique.

An abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the stomach to achieve a slimmer midsection.

A thighplasty combines liposuction with surgical excision around your thighs to create thinner, more toned legs.

A brachioplasty (arm lift) may also include liposuction to reduce the appearance of “bat wings” (skin laxity) on your arms.

Our surgeon determines that you are not a good candidate for liposuction if you fall under the following categories:

• You are underweight.
• You have a BMI over 35.
• Have a serious, life-threatening health condition.
• Have poor skin quality (excess skin laxity).

If you are 65 or older, we may determine that lipo in Plano is not safe for you. After assessing your skin quality and overall health, our plastic surgeon can determine if this treatment is right for you.

At McGuiness, we can give patients access to a variety of life-changing treatments. If we determine that surgery isn’t safe for you, we have non-surgical body contouring treatments that may be a better fit.

For patients who need to lose weight, we offer medical weight loss services that include nutritional guidance and weight loss injections like tirzepatide to help you achieve a healthier BMI.

Results from Lipo in Plano can last 5 to 10 years and can even be permanent, depending on how committed you are to maintaining your overall health. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, remaining cells can still expand, which emphasises the importance of exercising regularly and eating healthy.

Unfortunately, some fat is resistant to lifestyle changes and even some medications. This is because your body has a set number of fat cells, which remains unchanged even when you gain or lose weight.

These fat cells have 2 receptors: alpha-2 (fat-promoting receptors) and beta-2 (fat-burning receptors). If you have areas of fat that just won’t budge, despite your commitment to losing weight, you most likely have a higher concentration of alpha-2 receptors.

Fortunately, hope is not lost. With lipo in Plano, we can target those alpha-2 fat cells and permanently destroy them so you can achieve a slimmer physique.

Before your surgery, please follow these instructions for best results and accelerated healing:

• Refrain from smoking for at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery.
• Follow pre-surgery dietary and medication instructions from our surgeon.
• Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy, clean diet.
• Avoid alcohol for 1 to 2 weeks before your surgery.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements for 1 to 2 weeks before your surgery.

Please also arrange for someone to pick you up after your surgery. This is an outpatient surgery, so you can return home after your lipo in Plano, but you won’t be able to drive yourself.

After your surgery, you can expect some pain, swelling, and bruising. Our surgeon gives you pain-management medication that also lowers the risk of infection.

During your recovery period, it’s important to focus on resting and taking care of your body. It can take weeks or even months for swelling to subside. Following these instructions can help you heal quicker and see your results sooner:

• Wear compression garments around the treatment area to reduce swelling.
• Keep the incision site clean and dry.
• Avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for at least 4 weeks.
• Refrain from submerging in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water until cleared by our surgeon.
• Continue to avoid smoking for at least 2 to 4 weeks after your surgery.

The cost of liposuction in Plano varies from patient-to-patient. During your consultation, you and your surgeon create a personalized treatment plan for your surgery. Before you leave, you can expect to receive a transparent breakdown of the total cost, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
