Liposuction in Los Angeles

As we get older small pockets of fat develop in various locations on your body. These problem fat areas can be difficult to get rid of with even with proper diet and exercise. Liposuction can remove this unsightly fat, liposuction will sculpt your body into a more sensual, pleasing contour.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that sculpts and contours the body, it involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas. Liposuction can basically be done almost anywhere on the body, including the hips, buttocks, abdomen, knees, arms, neck. Liposuction is also commonly done with other plastic surgery procedures such as breast reduction or tummy tuck.

It’s important to note that there are quite a few different liposuction procedure types. First there is the Tumescent Liposuction technique that involves the use of the wetting solution that is infused into the area before fat is removed. The wetting solution contains saline and medications to ease removal of fat deposits.

Another liposuction technique called laser Liposuction or smart lipo uses a laser energy to heat fat deposits turning them semi soft and making it easier to remove. This technique tends to have less bruising and a faster recovery time.

Ultrasound assisted liposuction uses sound waves to break down the fat cells before they are removed. The ultrasound energy allows for a gentler and less dramatic fat removal experience. This technique works best on the hips, back and midsection.
