Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed and for a number of reasons. Removing unwanted and unsightly pockets of fat from “problem areas” give patients a slimmed and contoured overall profile. For our Los Angeles, Orange County, and Inland Empire liposuction patients their transformation begins with an initial consultation.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Most men and women have at least one area in the body that has retained fat which may result from a genetic origin or has not responded to diet and exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to improve these areas of the body. Each patient’s candidacy for a liposuction procedure is determined by many factors including: medical history, procedure expectations, and their skin tone and elasticity.

What Can I Expect from a Liposuction Procedure?

There are many techniques that can be used when performing Liposuction procedures. Each technique is performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and will vary among patients and the targeted area of the body for the best results. The procedure involves the insertion of a cannula (a long, thin tube) through a small incision. The cannula is then moved back and forth by your plastic surgeon to vacuum fat cells from the targeted area. Following the procedure, patients typically return to work between 1-2 weeks with the full results of their liposuction procedure emerging over several months as swelling subsides. Liposuction is effective and permanent with an extremely high safety record leaving only small and inconspicuous scars.
