Liposuction

Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as “lipoplasty”, is a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Tran in Westminster that eliminates excess fat from areas of the body that are difficult to target with diet and exercise. This procedure restores a more slender, attractive physique. Traditional liposuction is ultrasonic-assisted liposuction that provides skin tightening and fat removal at the same time. Traditional liposuction sculpts the body so you can see the muscle underneath, which really defines the shape.

Liposuction

Treatable Areas

Liposuction is a very versatile procedure that can be used to remove stubborn fat from almost any area of the body.

Neck and Cheeks

Excess fat below the jaw and in the neck can create a double chin, and too much fat in the cheeks can make even a thin person appear much heavier. Liposuction can restore a smoother profile to the neck and cheeks and improve definition in the face and along the jawline.

Arms

The accumulation of fat in the upper arms can lead to embarrassing flabs that hang and jiggle with every movement, making many feel self-conscious when wearing clothing that exposes this area. Liposuction can remove this excess fat to restore more slender arms with better definition.

Abdomen and Waist

The midsection is one of the most difficult areas to rid of stubborn fat. Liposuction produces a slimmer waistline and flatter abdomen by eliminating this resistant fat for good.

Back and Flanks

Many men have extra fat on their backs and sides just above their waists, and women commonly have unnecessary fat along their bra line. Liposuction can reduce this fat to achieve a smooth back and eliminate stubborn “love handles”.

Buttocks

Fat deposits that gather in the buttocks can cause permanent sagging and loss of a pleasant butt shape. Liposuction will restore a firmer, rounder contour to the buttocks to improve the overall appearance of the butt.

Hips and Thighs

Excessive fat in the hips and thighs can cause unsightly “saddlebags” to develop, often resulting in discomfort and embarrassment. Liposuction can provide a slimmer appearance and sculpt your hips and thighs to help make your body bikini-ready and boost your confidence.

Knees and Ankles

Excess fat accumulation in the lower legs can result in flabby knees and “cankles”, causing many to hide their legs even during the warmer summer months. Liposuction can effectively rid these areas of unwanted fat and sculpt the legs into a thinner and more defined shape.

Liposuction – What to Expect

Liposuction is one of the most rewarding procedures for patients who want to improve their physique, and the entire process from preparation to recovery is really quite simple.

Before Your Liposuction

Before the procedure, it is recommended that you do the following:

  • Do not take any anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) for at least two weeks
  • Refrain from smoking for at least two weeks
  • Refrain from drinking alcohol for at least one week
  • Shower the morning of surgery, but do not apply any lotions or other moisturizers
  • Arrange to have someone drive you home after the procedure

While Undergoing Liposuction

Liposuction is usually performed on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. With a specialized suctioning device, excess fat deposits are permanently removed through small incisions using a thin hollow tube called a cannula.

After Shedding All of That Unwanted Fat

After your liposuction surgery is complete, it is best to follow these guidelines to ensure you have the safest and most effective recovery:

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Wear compression garments to help reduce swelling
  • Take prescribed medication
  • Limit physical activity
  • Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon

Your surgeon will provide you with more detailed instructions to follow for after the procedure.

Your Transformation Is Complete!

After a couple of weeks, swelling and bruising will subside and the contours of your body will be noticeably slimmer and more defined. The results of liposuction are generally permanent, and patients can maintain their results by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
