Liposuction in Huntington Beach, South Gate, Lake Forest, & Fontana, CA
What is liposuction?
Liposuction surgery is primarily used to DEBULK fat tissue. While this improves the contour and proportion of your body by removing excess fat from a wide variety of areas it is not a sculpting technique.
Areas most commonly treated with Liposuction include the abdomen and flanks.
Liposuction is is a process offering a way to a smoother, trimmer body for those with areas of fat that won't go away with weight loss or exercise.
Am I a candidate for Liposuction?
The best candidate for Liposuction is a person of average or slightly above-average weight, in good health, with fat that does not respond well to diet and exercise.
Do I need general anesthesia for Liposuction?
We perform Tumescent Liposuction under General Anesthesia which is the most commonly used liposuction technique. We inject both numbing and blood vessel constricting medications into the fat layer. This technique results in less pain and bleeding, and therefore less bruising and a faster recovery period.
What results can I expect?
During Liposuction, the fat cells are removed permanently, so if you gain weight after the procedure, it usually will not concentrate in the area that was treated. However, it is important to understand that Liposuction will not prevent you from gaining weight. To keep your new shape and new weight after Liposuction, you must follow a proper diet and exercise plan.
What is involved in recovery?
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, and recovery is rapid. Most people can return to work within a few days and to normal activities within about two weeks. Every person’s outcome will vary based on factors such as volume of fat cells removed and area of removal. Our surgeons will advise you when you can return to daily activities depending upon your particular case.
