Micro Tumescent Liposuction
Our signature procedure uses microcannulas (3mm or smaller) to remove fat with minimal tissue damage. This FDA-approved technique allows for precise contouring while reducing bruising and recovery time. Patients remain awake under local anesthesia, eliminating general anesthesia risks. Ideal for multiple body areas including abdomen, flanks, and back, this method provides smoother results through controlled fat removal. Most patients return to work within two days with visible improvements appearing over six months.
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction
This advanced technique combines laser energy with traditional liposuction for enhanced skin tightening. The laser fiber melts fat while stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture. While not suitable for every case, it offers advantages for specific areas requiring additional skin contraction. Our surgeons carefully evaluate candidacy during consultations to ensure optimal outcomes. The procedure maintains our safety standards with local anesthesia and minimal downtime.
Male Chest Liposuction
Targeted solution for men with excess chest fat (pseudo-gynecomastia) using specialized microcannulas. This procedure creates a flatter, more masculine chest contour with minimal scarring. Patients typically wear compression garments for three weeks with full activity resumption in two weeks. Our surgeons have performed hundreds of these procedures with high patient satisfaction rates. Results are permanent when maintained with stable weight.
Chin and Jawline Liposuction
Precision fat removal beneath the chin to enhance facial definition. This popular procedure addresses submental fat that resists diet and exercise. The minimally invasive approach preserves skin elasticity for natural-looking results. Most patients experience minimal bruising with full recovery in 2-3 weeks. Combines well with skin-tightening treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Thigh Liposuction
Targets inner and outer thigh fat to improve clothing fit and body proportions. The procedure addresses saddlebags and thigh rubbing through strategic fat removal. Patients see immediate contour improvements with final results emerging after six months. Compression garments are worn for four weeks with gradual return to exercise. Our technique preserves skin integrity for smooth, even outcomes.

Questions
What makes Houston Liposuction Center different?
We specialize exclusively in body contouring with board-certified surgeons focused on minimally invasive techniques. Our experience with thousands of procedures ensures personalized, safe treatments in a dedicated surgical facility.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Liposuction removes fat cells, not weight. Most patients lose 2-5 pounds per treated area, with visible contour improvements rather than significant weight reduction.
Is liposuction permanent?
Yes, removed fat cells don't regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining stable weight ensures lasting results.
What's the recovery like?
Most patients return to work in 2 days with full activity resumption in 2 weeks. Swelling subsides over 6 months with final results becoming apparent during this period.
Can multiple areas be treated at once?
Yes, up to 5 areas can be treated simultaneously under local anesthesia. Our surgeons determine safe treatment volumes during pre-operative consultations.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we provide financing solutions for qualified patients to make body contouring treatments more accessible while maintaining our quality standards.

Dr. Bergeron is very easy-going, very knowledgeable. Once I had a consultation with him, I made the decision to move forward immediately. His staff are very friendly and they communicated with me very well throughout the whole process. Liposuction is the only thing he does and he really established himself as one of the best in the nation. Think about it: if a doctor provides 10 different procedures, he will only get 10% of liposuction experience of Dr. Bergeron. That's my logic. Most importantly, I love my results. Goodbye, love handles;-. If you still cannot decide which doctor to choose, make sure to have a consultation with him, then you'll know!

I love this place, the staff are so kind and friendly. I was only looking around when I made the appointment and went to see Dr. B. I was a bit nervous and not really sure I was ready. That changed the minute I met with my consultant and then after meeting Dr. B, I decided to book the procedure. My results are stunning, and the procedure was painless and I felt well taken care of. This place is a jewel, you won't go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. B and staff for your excellent care.

Do not waste your money. I had so much confidence in Dr. Bergeron. My results look like I didn't have any work done. Procedure was done back in June '20 had to get revision done by another surgeon in December '20. The new surgeon was in shock; saying it doesn't look like I had any work done. Very embarrassing. Anyway, I will say the place is clean and the staff was very nice; however my experience was a waste of time and money.

The the experience with Lipo Center have been great. Since the first day you go in to get a quote everyone treat you so well. Dr. Bergeron was completely honest with me since day 1 and never try to make me do other areas (like I've experienced in other places). The prices are so reasonable and they are no hidden fees. During surgery he was constantly making sure I was ok. Today is my third day of the smart lipo and I already see the changes. I feel so happy with all the process and my experience. Every single person I've met so far have been wonderful. No doubt will go back when needed

I can't really say enough good things about my experience at Houston Lipo Center. The staff was polite and thorough in every interaction I had with them. Any questions or concerns I had before or after surgery were addressed quickly. The process was very smooth and I knew what to expect each step of the way. Literally my only criticism would be the pain. I have a very high tolerance for pain medication.
I was told several times that the pills they gave me would "relax me and some patients even sleep through the procedure." I was not relaxed. I was squeezing a stress ball for dear life! So maybe that needs to be looked at. That being said, I would go through it again in a heartbeat. Dr. Bergeron is just WOW! He not only delivered what I had hoped for but so much more. He has an amazing eye for body contouring. I look at my before and after pictures and am just blown away. I love my new curves and shape. So all I can say is a huge thank you to Dr. Bergeron and the staff at Houston Lipo Center!

EXCEPTIONAL BODY CONTOURING SERVICE! Dr. Bergeron and his team are true professionals. They took care of me every second of my three month journey with them from the intital consultation to my post op check up. Dr. B listened to all of my concerns and delivered on making me look exactly how I always envisioned myself to be. He and his team went above and beyond in taking care of me. The facility is very clean and the staff is very punctual. I am ecstatic with how I look and can not wait for bikini season to come back. My confidence is through the roof. Best medical experience of my life. Thank you so much Houston Lipo Center!

Great experience. Dr. B and nurses are great! I was worried about not using general anesthesia but it was fine. He is very gentle and talks you through everything he is doing. The do give you meds orally and I honestly had not pain during the procedure. He will give you med for the next day in case you are a little sore. Rachel was great for scheduling and really friendly. made sure I didn't feel uncomfortable before my consult. I am super happy with my results!
