Another procedure, designed to remove undesirable localized fat, is suction lipectomy. Like abdominal lipectomy, suction lipectomy is not performed as a “weight control” procedure. Instead, it is most effective on those individuals with stable weight who have localized deposits of fat on the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen. Additional areas to which Liposuction in Los Angeles may be applied are the calves, knees, arms, breasts, or any area where there is fat deposit that will not respond to dietary controls. We are using the new “Tumescent Technique”, a method of fluid injection into the tissues for anesthesia, with Ultrasonic Liposuction. The results are excellent.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis with sedation and anesthesia depending upon the desires and health status of the patient. The operative time is between one to two hours. Postoperative discomfort is minimal. The incisions are camouflaged by their placement within normal creases of the body. A compressive garment is worn for two to four weeks after surgery. Sutures are removed at the end of one week.

Liposuction will not remove hanging skin or “dimpled” skin, often called cellulite.
