Introduction
Have you been dieting and exercising in an attempt to achieve toned and sculpted body contours, but are still struggling with stubborn fat deposits? Then liposuction may be the answer you are looking for. Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Rai has helped many men and women in Dallas and throughout Texas realize their body contouring goals with liposuction.
Liposuction Patient
Our liposuction procedure is a body contouring surgery that we offer our clients to help remove those stubborn fat deposits.
Using a thin, hollow cannula, fat is gently suctioned out to create smoother, leaner contours.
Any patient who is a candidate for traditional liposuction is usually also a good candidate for the tumescent technique. Unlike traditional liposuction, which is an outdated “dry” procedure, tumescent liposuction utilizes an injected saline solution to swell the targeted fat, making it easier to remove.
During your procedure, Dr. Rai will inject the saline solution into the areas to be sculpted. The amount of saline injected is generally equal to or greater than the volume of targeted fat. Once the fatty tissue swells in size because of the solution, Dr. Rai can easily identify the fat to be removed. He will make small incisions to extract the unwanted fat using a cannula, a narrow surgical instrument specifically designed for the procedure.
Recovery from tumescent liposuction is typically quick, with minimal swelling and bruising in the treated areas. The long-acting effects of the anesthetic solution help to provide relief from pain after the procedure and reduce the need for additional pain medication.
If you want to see the dramatic results that tumescent liposuction can make in your body contours, call 972-566-6500 today to schedule your consultation with Dallas liposuction surgeon Dr. Rai.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) is a variation of tumescent liposuction. With UAL, the cannula used to suction out unwanted fat actually vibrates from ultrasound (sound vibrations above the range of human hearing). The ultrasound vibrations liquefy the fat more quickly, enabling Dr. Rai to remove it more easily.
Recovery from ultrasonic liposuction can be quicker with less discomfort, depending on the extent of your procedure.
Ultrasonic liposuction is especially useful in larger-volume liposuction procedures or in more challenging areas, such as the back or for enlarged male breasts. Dr. Rai will recommend the appropriate type of liposuction after reviewing your cosmetic goals with you during your consultation.
If you are interested in the dramatic results that ultrasonic liposuction can produce for your body contours, call 972-566-6500 today to schedule your consultation with Dallas liposuction surgeon Dr. Rai.
Liposuction is not an effective method for weight loss. It is intended to remove small fatty deposits to sculpt your curves into more pleasing contours. You should be at or near your ideal weight and be able to maintain it. Weight fluctuations will affect your results.
Ideal candidates are at a healthy BMI and simply need assistance removing those last remnants of fat. They also have the following characteristics in common:
Liposuction can provide patients with amazing results, but if you are looking for a more dramatic change or are embarrassed by excess sagging skin and tissue from weight loss or pregnancy, you may want to consider combining liposuction with a tummy tuck or our mommy makeover.

Your Liposuction Journey with Surjit Rai, MD
Dr. Rai performs both tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction in his Dallas surgery center.

Either type of liposuction is performed under general anesthesia, which a qualified MD anesthesiologist administers. General anesthesia provides a safer surgical environment. It eliminates the risk of inadvertent body movements that could adversely impact your results, and it provides you with a greater level of comfort during the procedure.
Your Guide to Post-Liposuction Care
Immediately after your liposuction procedure, we will closely monitor you as you recover from general anesthesia. When we determine that you are ready to go home, a loved one or other responsible adult will need to pick you up and stay with you for 24 hours. We provide this person with detailed instructions, both verbally and in writing, on how to care for you. You should spend the first day focused on resting.
The day after surgery, you should feel well enough to get up and walk around. In fact, we encourage you to do so. Short, easy walks will stimulate your circulatory system and aid your recovery. You will experience some discomfort, but likely it will be easily controlled with the prescription medication you will be given. You may also have numbness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. This is normal.
Most patients return to work about a week after their liposuction procedure. For a few weeks, you will wear a compression garment designed to help your body heal into its desired contours. Although you can resume light activities, you should avoid strenuous activities for at least three weeks. Your results will continue to improve and will be fully evident by 6-9 months following your procedure.
The total cost of liposuction surgery is determined based on factors like your medical examinations, surgeon’s fees, hospital charges, post-surgery garments, and anesthesia. The exact techniques used will also impact cost, as will the total time needed to perform the surgery.

This is my second-time coming to Dr. Rai for my nose and breast and I never leave disappointed. He is so kind and truly an artist at his craft. His staff is so kind and always so helpful. I had multiple consultations with different doctors and let me tell you Dr. Rai is the best in Dallas. Look no further Dr. Rai has the experience and his kindness are like no other.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his team.
From the very first consultation, he listened with compassion, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely supported in my decision to explant.
The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out, though, was the phenomenal aftercare. Dr. Rai and his staff checked in consistently, responded quickly whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt cared for every step of the way.
I’m forever grateful for Dr. Rai and his team.
