Hip liposuction in Dallas is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that sculpts and contours the hips by removing excess fat deposits. Through small incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to target and suction out unwanted fat cells, resulting in a smoother and more defined hip area. This procedure is popular among individuals seeking to achieve a more balanced figure, particularly those struggling with stubborn fat that persists despite diet and exercise.

Dr. Chiodo’s hip liposuction technique
During hip liposuction, Dr. Chiodo begins by marking the areas to be treated and administering a local anesthetic (lidocaine) and epinephrine. Lidocaine blocks nerve signals in the area, numbing it to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Epinephrine constricts blood vessels in the treatment area, which helps to minimize bleeding and reduce the risk of bruising. Once the area is numb, small incisions are made strategically around the hip area. Through these incisions, Dr. Chiodo inserts a thin tube called a cannula.
The cannula is gently moved back and forth to dislodge and suction out excess fat cells, sculpting the hips to achieve the desired contours. Dr. Chiodo uses precise techniques to ensure even fat removal and minimize trauma to surrounding tissues. After the desired amount of fat is removed, the incisions are closed, and a compression garment may be applied to support the healing process and minimize swelling. Depending on the extent of treatment and individual anatomy, the procedure typically takes a few hours.
Recovery after hip liposuction
After hip liposuction in Dallas, you may experience side effects like swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These are normal and usually subside within a few weeks. Dr. Chiodo will provide instructions for aftercare, including wearing a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling. You can typically resume light activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks. Full recovery may take several weeks to months.
