Cellulite is a common concern that affects many individuals, regardless of body weight or fitness level. While liposuction is effective for removing fat and improving body contours, it is not always the ideal solution for cellulite.
Understanding what liposuction can and cannot do is important when considering treatment options. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides liposuction to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
Cellulite occurs when fat pushes against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or uneven appearance.
Common areas include:
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to improve body contour. It is designed to:
Cellulite is primarily caused by fibrous bands beneath the skin, not just excess fat. Removing fat alone does not address these structural bands.
In some cases, liposuction may even make cellulite more noticeable if skin elasticity is limited.
Liposuction can indirectly improve the appearance of cellulite by:
However, results vary depending on skin quality and severity of cellulite.
Treatments specifically designed for cellulite include:
These target the underlying cause rather than just fat.
Many patients benefit from combining liposuction with other treatments to:
Understanding the limitations of liposuction helps ensure satisfaction with results.

Weight fluctuations can significantly impact the appearance of breast implants. Whether due to weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy, or lifestyle changes, these shifts can alter breast shape, volume, and implant positioning.
Breast revision surgery can help restore balance and improve overall results. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides breast revision to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
The breasts contain both fat and glandular tissue. When weight changes occur, fat volume shifts, which can lead to:
Patients may notice:
Revision may be appropriate if:
Addresses sagging and repositions the breast.
Adjusts size or type to restore proportion.
Improves contour and adds natural volume.
Corrects implant positioning issues.
Waiting until your weight is stable ensures more predictable and long-lasting results.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure but generally includes:
If weight changes have affected your breast augmentation results, we can help you explore revision options. Contact our office to schedule a consultation and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Choosing the right breast implant size is one of the most important decisions in breast augmentation. While many patients initially think in terms of cup size, achieving a natural, balanced result depends far more on your body proportions than a specific number.
A personalized approach ensures that your results complement your frame and look harmonious from every angle. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides breast augmentation to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
Two patients choosing the same implant size may have completely different results depending on:
This is why experienced surgeons focus on proportion rather than volume alone.
Your natural breast base determines how wide the implant should be. Implants that are too wide can extend into the sides, while implants that are too narrow may not provide enough fullness.
A petite patient may achieve balanced results with a smaller implant, while a taller patient may require more volume to maintain proportion.
Patients with more natural tissue often achieve a softer, more natural result, while those with less tissue require more careful implant selection.
Elastic skin can accommodate larger implants more easily, while limited elasticity may restrict sizing options.
The goal is not just size, but overall shape and contour. Proper implant selection creates:
These choices can lead to unnatural results or long-term complications.
Implants that are too large for your frame can increase the risk of:
Modern consultations often include:
These tools help patients better understand how different sizes will look on their body.
If you are considering breast augmentation and want guidance choosing the right implant size for your body, we can help. Contact our office to schedule a consultation and receive a personalized plan tailored to your proportions and goals.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes the breasts and restores a more youthful position. While this surgery often dramatically improves appearance, patients understandably have questions about scarring. Knowing what to expect with surgical scars helps set realistic expectations and supports optimal healing. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides breast lift to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
Breast lift scars vary depending on the amount of correction needed. Common incision patterns include:
Each pattern is selected to achieve the best aesthetic result based on breast shape and degree of sagging.
In the first weeks and months after surgery, scars appear red, raised, or slightly firm. This is a normal part of healing as collagen forms and tissues repair.
Over the course of 12 to 18 months, scars gradually flatten, soften, and fade in color. Most patients find that scars become subtle and blend with natural skin tones, especially when incisions are placed in discreet contours.
Several factors influence scar appearance, including:
Protecting scars from sun exposure and following postoperative care instructions are essential for optimal healing.
While some scar redness is normal, excessive pain, discharge, or separation may indicate infection and requires prompt evaluation. Most scars heal beautifully with time and proper care.

As we age, changes in facial tissues can soften the jawline and create jowls that detract from an otherwise youthful appearance. While skincare products and non-surgical treatments can improve skin quality, they are rarely enough to correct significant laxity or sagging. Surgical options offer more precise and durable solutions. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides facial surgery to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
Jowls develop due to a combination of:
These changes weaken the definition of the jawline and may create a tired or aged look.
A neck lift specifically addresses laxity below the chin and along the neck, but it is not always sufficient for prominent jowls.
A facelift targets deeper facial structures and repositions tissues along the cheeks, jawline, and neck. This comprehensive approach often provides superior correction of moderate to advanced jowling.
Patients with mild jowling and good skin elasticity may benefit from a mini facelift. This procedure uses smaller incisions and focuses on the lower face, offering improvement with shorter recovery.
During a facelift or neck lift, underlying muscles and tissues are lifted and secured, excess skin is removed, and contours are refined. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery timelines vary by procedure, but most patients experience initial swelling and bruising followed by gradual improvement. Final results take shape as swelling dissipates and tissues settle.
Facial surgery provides natural-looking rejuvenation when performed by an experienced surgeon who understands facial anatomy and aging patterns.

Weight loss can dramatically improve overall health and confidence, but it often leaves lasting changes in the breasts. Many patients seeking breast augmentation after weight loss want to restore shape, volume, or symmetry. Knowing what to expect helps you prepare mentally and physically for the process. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides breast augmentation to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
When weight is lost, fat volume in the breasts often decreases. This can result in deflation, reduced fullness, and in some cases, sagging. Skin that stretched to accommodate larger tissue may not fully retract after weight loss, contributing to a flattened or pendulous appearance.
Ideal candidates are those who have maintained a stable weight for several months and are in good overall health. A consultation with your surgeon evaluates skin quality, breast shape, and nipple position to determine whether augmentation alone or combined procedures are needed.
If there is minimal sagging and the nipple sits at a youthful position, breast augmentation alone may provide beautiful enhancement. However, if sagging is more pronounced or the nipple sits low, combining augmentation with a breast lift often provides more balanced and long-lasting results.
Early swelling, soreness, and mild discomfort are normal during the first week. Most patients return to desk work within a few days and resume light physical activity as instructed by their surgeon. Final results develop over weeks as implants settle and swelling diminishes.
Breast augmentation after weight loss can restore femininity, balance, and confidence. When paired with realistic expectations and a personalized surgical plan, many patients enjoy long-lasting results.

A defined neck is a key component of a youthful, balanced facial profile. When vertical bands and loose skin develop along the neck, they can dramatically change your appearance and make you look older than you feel. A neck lift is a surgical solution designed to address these concerns with precision and long-lasting results. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides neck lift to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
As we age, the underlying muscles of the neck can loosen, skin elasticity decreases, and fat may accumulate beneath the chin. These changes cause visible vertical bands and sagging skin that cannot be corrected with creams or non-invasive treatments alone.
A neck lift is often recommended for patients who experience:
If aging in the neck area bothers you and affects your confidence, a neck lift can restore a smoother, more defined silhouette.
During a neck lift, the surgeon tightens the underlying neck muscles, removes excess skin, and may also contour excess fat. Incisions are usually placed in discreet locations beneath the chin and behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.
Initial swelling and bruising are common, but most patients return to gentle activity within several days. Full results emerge over several weeks as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Non-surgical treatments such as injectables or skin tightening devices may offer mild improvement for early signs of aging. However, loose skin and prominent neck bands require surgical correction to achieve lasting and natural results.

Jowls are one of the most common and frustrating signs of facial aging. As skin loses elasticity and deeper facial tissues descend, the jawline softens and sagging develops along the lower face. Patients considering surgical rejuvenation often ask whether a lower facelift or a full facelift is the best option for correcting jowls. The answer depends on the extent of aging and which areas of the face are affected. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides facelift to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
Jowls develop due to a combination of factors including gravity, volume loss, weakening of facial support structures, and skin laxity. The SMAS layer, which supports the cheeks and jawline, gradually descends. When this happens, tissue accumulates along the jawline, creating heaviness and blurring definition.
While non-surgical treatments can offer mild improvement, surgery remains the most effective way to correct moderate to severe jowling.
A lower facelift focuses on the bottom third of the face. This includes the jawline, jowls, and often the neck.
A lower facelift tightens sagging tissue along the jawline, smooths jowls, and improves neck laxity. It is ideal for patients whose primary concern is loss of jawline definition rather than aging in the cheeks or midface.
Because the procedure targets a smaller area, recovery may be slightly shorter than a full facelift, although results are still dramatic.
A full facelift addresses aging throughout the face, including the midface, cheeks, jowls, and neck.
A full facelift lifts and repositions deeper facial structures from the cheeks downward. This provides more comprehensive rejuvenation and improves jowls as part of a broader correction. Patients with significant sagging in the midface, deep nasolabial folds, and advanced facial aging often benefit most from a full facelift.
For patients whose only concern is jowling and jawline laxity, a lower facelift may be sufficient. However, if jowls are part of a larger aging pattern that includes cheek descent and facial volume loss, a full facelift typically delivers more balanced and longer-lasting results.
Choosing the right procedure requires careful evaluation of facial anatomy, skin quality, and aging patterns.
A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon allows for personalized recommendations. The best procedure is one that corrects jowls while maintaining natural facial harmony and proportion.

Liposuction is one of the most effective body contouring procedures for removing stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. While it is not a weight loss solution, liposuction can significantly improve body shape and proportion. Understanding which areas can be treated helps patients set realistic expectations and plan their procedure. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides liposuction to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
The abdomen is the most commonly treated area. Liposuction here removes fat from the upper and lower abdomen to create a flatter, more contoured midsection.
Abdominal liposuction works best for patients with good skin elasticity. If loose skin or muscle separation is present, a tummy tuck may be recommended instead or in combination.
The flanks, often called love handles, are another popular treatment area. Fat in this region can disrupt waist definition and create a boxy appearance.
Removing flank fat enhances the waistline and creates a smoother transition between the abdomen and back. Flank liposuction is often combined with abdominal liposuction for comprehensive contouring.
Upper arm liposuction targets fat along the back and underside of the arms. This area can be resistant to exercise, especially with aging.
Liposuction improves arm shape and reduces bulk. Patients with significant skin laxity may benefit from combining liposuction with an arm lift for optimal results.
Thigh liposuction can address the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both.
As with other areas, skin quality determines whether liposuction alone will be effective.
Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, but it does not tighten skin or replace weight loss. Ideal candidates are near their goal weight and seeking targeted contour improvement.
