Liposuction
Liposuction can slim and contour even your most stubborn pockets of fat. While there are many variations of the procedure, the key to excellent results is the skill of the person performing the procedure. At The Gill Center, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Gill has extensive experience performing liposuction in The Woodlands, TX. He has earned a reputation for creating attractive, natural-looking liposuction results for his many patients from Conroe, Cypress, Tomball, Spring, and other nearby towns.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
Dr. Gill uses a manual liposuction technique that has a long track record of safely producing excellent results. With years of experience performing liposuction, Dr. Gill customizes the procedure depending on the specific needs of his patients. The technique he uses, tumescent liposuction, involves making small incisions at the treatment site and then saturating the fatty tissue with a solution that includes lidocaine (an anesthetic) and epinephrine. The tissue swells and becomes firmer (tumescent), making it easier to break up and remove. Dr. Gill suctions fatty tissue using a cannula, a thin tube that he inserts and moves around to loosen the tissue.
Liposuction can target unwanted fat in virtually any area of the body, including the:
- Neck, cheeks (buccal fat), and chin
- Thighs
- Upper arms, underarms, and chest
- Abdomen and back
- Buttocks, hips, and flanks
Depending on the treatment area, liposuction usually takes 45 minutes to 2 hours. Procedures involving larger areas of fatty tissue involve the use of a general anesthetic and may require patients to remain in the hospital overnight. A local anesthetic is used for smaller treatment areas, and patients return home on the day of their procedures.

The cost of liposuction in The Woodlands, Conroe, and Spring, TX, depends in part on the area or areas treated. We will provide a detailed price quote after you consult with Dr. Gill. Included in the cost of liposuction are fees for the doctor and an anesthesiologist, if necessary, any medications that are prescribed, compression garments, and other associated costs. Even though the price is a factor for most patients, it shouldn’t be the primary consideration. Dr. Gill often performs revision surgery for women and men who had liposuction performed by physicians who weren’t board-certified plastic surgeons, which is why we tell patients that the least expensive liposuction procedure is the first one done right.
What Is Recovery Like After Liposuction?
Healing after liposuction varies depending on the area or areas treated, but most liposuction patients are able to return to work and non-strenuous activities within a day or two. The amount of time you need to take off work will depend on the extent of the surgery but getting plenty of rest is important for all patients. It’s also common to combine liposuction with other procedures, such as tummy tuck surgery, which can also impact the recovery process. You can expect some bruising and swelling for between 1 and 2 weeks. Wearing a compression garment helps with this. You should walk around your house every day but otherwise limit your activities until cleared by Dr. Gill.
