Liposuction in El Paso, TX
WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?
When you age, you will likely notice a gradual decrease in facial firmness or looseness in specific areas of your frame. This ordinary progression may make you look fatigued or older. To treat these visual issues, the team at El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic is thrilled to provide an exceptional technique known as laser-assisted lipo and fat grafting employing contemporary BeautiFill® technology at our practice in El Paso, TX. This minimally invasive system emits laser light within the skin to smoothly retrieve unwanted fat tissue from regions that include the flanks, thighs, and belly. The preserved fat is then reinjected into selected facial or body parts to provide soft, youthful fullness. With this aesthetic procedure, you can add fullness to the cheeks, lips, eye area, or smile lines around the mouth and nose. Alternatively, we can use the tissue for body contouring by boosting volume in the breasts or buttocks. This efficient solution involves little recovery time, making it an ideal alternative to traditional fat grafting. El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic also specializes in touch-up procedures if a previous liposuction did not provide your desired results.

HOW DOES LIPOSUCTION WORK?
Liposuction at El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic takes about 3 – 4 hours. To carry out this treatment, we apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable during your treatment. After we clean the treatment region, the team will begin by inserting a fine laser wand to suction a healthy tissue specimen. After this, the fat sample will be immediately prepared with one fat removal system. When it has been prepared for transfer, our technician will precisely administer the fat into the chosen areas of the body, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks, to elevate volume and give you a more even, revitalized aesthetic.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER LIPOSUCTION
You may need to stay at home for several weeks to recover from liposuction surgery, depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of fat removed. It's normal to see bruising and swelling for one or two weeks, and you should have the stitches taken out 7 – 10 days after surgery. The most important thing following liposuction is to allow your body time to recover and rest. When you decide to return to work after your surgery, you should do your best to take it easy. To build up your strength and stamina, try short walks and light workouts as approved by Dr. Altenberg. Remember that you may notice some improvements after six weeks, but it will take around 6 – 10 months before your new body contour and shape is complete.

Superb experience. I instantly liked Dr. Altenberg and his staff. Very professional and super-nice. Dr. Altenberg is knowledgeable and clearly an expert in his field. Makes you feel like you’re in good hands. He’s calm and confident and doesn’t convey panic. He’s great. I’m going to switch to him as my primary care doctor.

EL PASO MEN'S & WOMEN'S CLINIC REVIEWS
Dr. Altenberg is my new primary care doctor. I switched because with my old primary care doctor, I saw PA’s for 2 years. My wait in the waiting room and the examine room was short. He took his time to understand my issues and asked probing questions to better determine what next steps should be. He did not immediately prescribe unnecessary pills. Rather he is doing extensive blood work and muscosketal X-rays. He also wants to know specifically what existing conditions I have and what my parents died of which will also help him. His office staff have been very helpful on the phone and in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Altenberg and his great staff.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is a good procedure for patients who are at an ideal weight, but have stubborn areas of fat that cannot be lost with exercise and diet. It is important to remember that liposuction does not address loose skin. Liposuction is not a solution for weight loss. Women havin
liposuction should have no plans to become pregnant again as this may compromise the results. During your initial consultation, Dr. Altenberg will discuss what results you can expect following your treatment.
