Serving Plano, TX
Plano’s always in motion—work, workouts, weekends. But no matter how clean you eat or how often you sweat, some areas just won’t budge. That’s where liposuction makes its move.
At Prosper Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dinah Wan uses an artistic, detail-driven approach to reshape the body. She combines technical skill with an eye for balance, customizing every liposuction procedure to align with your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. For those in Plano and North Dallas who are looking for a solution beyond the scale, Dr. Wan offers personalized care with results that look like you—just more sculpted.
Dr. Wan performs both tumescent liposuction and superwet liposuction, two widely trusted techniques known for their safety and precision. A diluted local anesthetic is infused into the fat, reducing discomfort and bleeding. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through a small incision to break up and remove the fatty tissue. The result is smoother contours and a more balanced look.
areas treated. With our liposuction Plano patients tend to pair the procedure with other cosmetic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation for more dramatic body contouring.
Liposuction can do more than change the way you look—it can change the way you feel in your skin. Here’s what it offers:
Patients often report increased self-confidence, reduced shoulder pain (when treating back rolls), and a renewed commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after their liposuction procedure.
Dr. Wan can treat nearly any area with stubborn fat, including:
Abdomen and waistline
Each treatment area is approached with precision to maintain skin integrity and avoid uneven results.
For our liposuction Plano candidates are those already practicing a healthy lifestyle who still struggle with localized fat deposits. Ideal patients:
It’s not recommended for individuals looking for a weight loss procedure, nor is it suitable for those with significant loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles—conditions better addressed with a tummy tuck.
These concerns can arise after weight gain, hormonal changes, or simply genetics. At our office serving Plano liposuction gives you the option to refine rather than reinvent your shape.
Your journey begins with a private consultation in our Plano office. Dr. Wan will review your medical history, listen to your goals, and examine the areas you want to treat. She’ll also determine whether liposuction alone is appropriate or if combining it with other procedures would give you the best result.
You may be asked to stop certain medications or supplements in advance of surgery. Leading up to the procedure, patients are encouraged to stay active, eat a balanced diet, and maintain good hydration. This improves the healing process and minimizes surgical risk.
We’ll also ensure you understand what’s involved in recovery and what you’ll need, including post-op garments, transportation, and home setup for the days following surgery.
Your Liposuction Procedure
The procedure typically lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on how many areas are being treated. Dr. Wan makes a small incision near the treatment area and uses a cannula to suction out the fat. The process is methodical and detailed—fat is removed gradually to ensure smooth results and prevent sagging skin.
Depending on the size of the area, you may receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. At our office serving Plano liposuction is performed as an outpatient surgery, and you’ll be discharged the same day with written aftercare instructions.Â
The first few days involve some swelling, soreness, and bruising. Most patients describe it as a deep muscle ache, manageable with prescription or over-the-counter pain medications. You’ll wear compression garments to reduce swelling, help contour the treated areas, and support your recovery.
Most patients return to light activity or desk work within about one week. Strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks. Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling subsides. Dr. Wan will provide clear post-op instructions for incision care, physical activity, and scar prevention.
Maintaining results long-term depends on staying at a stable weight and leading a healthy lifestyle. The fat cells removed don’t regenerate, but the remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain.
If you’re tired of battling stubborn fat and want natural-looking results with minimal scarring, liposuction with Dr. Wan may be your next move. Serving patients in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and North Dallas, Prosper Plastic Surgery provides advanced techniques in a modern, supportive setting.
