Overview
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how much you diet or how much you exercise – you can’t rid yourself of the fat pockets on your stomach, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Unfortunately, heredity may be working against you and you may not be able to remove certain areas of fat on your own. You can address these problem areas with liposuction from Dr. Robert Najera, a skilled liposuction and plastic surgeon serving the Frisco, Plano, Allen, McKinney and surrounding areas. Liposuction is a procedure where small incisions are made on the areas receiving treatment. Then, a specialized tool is inserted to remove the fat cells. After a short recovery period, you’ll have the body shape you’ve worked so hard to attain.
Best Candidates
If you are at a healthy weight, but you still have pockets of fat that won’t disappear, then liposuction with VASER Lipo may help. VASER Lipo can be used to treat a wide variety of areas, including the abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, arms, male and female breasts, love handles, and more – almost any part of the body can undergo treatment with VASER Lipo. Liposuction is not meant for weight loss and it is recommended that no more than 10 pounds of fat be removed during the procedure.
About the Surgery
Traditional Liposuction
Surgical tumescent liposuction is the traditional liposuction approach used for patients desiring immediate and dramatic results. This approach uses a device known as a cannula that is inserted through the skin, which removes fat cells. A solution containing local anesthetic and tumescent fluid is introduced beneath the area of concern to help minimize bleeding, bruising and overall patient discomfort. Dr. Najera removes the fat by using a motor to help control how much fat is removed and at what speed. Fat removal can range from several ounces to a few pounds.
Vaser Liposuction
Like traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo can help remove fat from areas that diet and exercise have little to no effect on. What sets VASER Lipo apart is its ability to achieve more precise results while protecting sensitive tissues, such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. VASER Lipo uses ultrasound energy to break apart fat for removal, yielding a more precise outcome and resulting in less bruising around the treatment area. Once liposuction treatment and recovery have been completed, a healthy and active lifestyle will help you retain your slimmer silhouette. Often, patients see results immediately, with peak results occurring at around 3-6 months after surgery.
Liposuction Reviews
Best decision of my life when it comes to my tummy tuck and lipo 360 with Dr. Dallas ❤️ 1 yr post-op.
Best decision I’ve ever made! I had been waiting for my 6 month mark results to be able to provide a true review. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift with implant and am extremely happy!! Dr Najera and his staff are amazing!!! Thank you for all that you do!!! Words cannot compared as to how happy I am with my body, and how grateful to have found a Dr and staff like Dr Najera.
I underwent a LBL, liposuction 360, and breast implant exchange procedure with Dr. Najera, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. There are moments when I find myself doing a double-take because I'm amazed that this is my own body. My scars and belly button look flawless, which was my main worry, and Dr. Najera surpassed all my expectations. If you're contemplating surgery, I highly recommend it! Choosing Dr. Najera was truly the best decision I made, and I am grateful for the dream body he has given me.
It took me almost a year to finally picked out the best Dr for my tummy tuck and breast argument. I knew it going to be a big plastic surgery but I didn’t know why after I talk to Polly and Dr Robert najera I feel trust and didn’t get nervous like I used too. I am so happy with my results came out and thank you so much for all the best of dr team work have done for me. I will recommend the Dr to all my friends and family whenever they need it and myself will comeback to see him again if I need it. Thanks again for everything.
I've waited a full year to review Dr. Najera because I wanted to wait until my results were final. My tush was SO flat I had to have TWO BBLs (fat transfer and a lift). This picture doesn't even do it justice. This man is a miracle worker...not even exaggerating. I wish I could give him 100 stars. And his staff is JUST as wonderful. The Before/During/After pics were taken Before (before surgery) During (after my first but before my last at the midway point) Last (after both surgeries). On the contrary - as small as my butt was, my breasts were enormous - just awful. Had a reduction and lift. Should've done that DECADES ago. Could not be happier. Best thing I have ever done for myself! If you need a miracle worker with results that look natural - Dr. Najera is who you should go see. I'm walking proof that he is skilled beyond belief!
