Body Contouring
Liposuction of Hips & Thighs
Liposuction is a very commonly sought-after cosmetic procedure. While the procedure really doesn't produce much overall weight loss, there is a significant reduction in bulk. Liposuction, or body sculpting, has become a much sought-after procedure. Dr. Johnson began performing liposuction in 1983 and was the first surgeon in Houston, Texas to do so. Since, Dr. Johnson has performed over 3,000 liposuction surgeries. Dr. Johnson holds U.S. Patents #4,536,180 and #4,888,003 on instrumentation for performing liposuction. Dr. Johnson and his staff will help you in determining what is best for you as a patient, and what results are realistic to expect. He was first to invent and get a U.S. patent on a liposuction instrument and machine.
Tummy Tuck:
A tummy tuck involves the repair of the abdominal muscle for women who have had children and are left with the appearance of a "poochy" stomach. Dr. Johnson performs both the conventional surgical approach to a tummy tuck and a minimally invasive endoscopic technique. Dr. Johnson was issued U.S. Patent 5,655,544 for his endoscopic-assisted abdominoplasty technique.
