What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that removes pockets of fat by suctioning it away with a long, thin tube called a cannula. It is safe and effective for fine-tuning body contours not overall weight loss.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
Imagine enjoying a slimmer look and finally ridding yourself of those stubborn pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise. Our experienced plastic surgeons in Torrance use lipo to provide these results and more. In addition to improving your appearance, this procedure can also help you feel more comfortable in clothing and enhance your body image.
Liposuction FAQ
Does liposuction remove fat permanently?
Fat cells are removed from the body during liposuction and do not grow back. You will still be able to gain weight in other areas, so it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise consistently.
Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
When you choose an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon for your liposuction procedure, any side effects will likely be temporary. Expect some degree of the following side effects in treated areas:
Soreness
Swelling and bruising
Numbness
Firmness
These side effects typically fade within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the areas treated and the volume of fat removed.
How painful is liposuction surgery?
The tumescent solution injected prior to the procedure makes the targeted area numb, so you shouldn’t feel anything whether you are awake or asleep. After liposuction, patients typically experience moderate soreness (experiences vary).
How soon after surgery will I see results?
Treated areas will look slimmer right away and continue to reduce over the following weeks as swelling dissipates. Within 6 weeks, patients have a good idea of what their final results look like. Swelling may continue to fade for up to 6 months.
Does lipo leave loose skin?
Patients with good skin elasticity are best suited for liposuction because the skin naturally tightens over the slimmer contours after surgery. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, ThermiTight® minimally invasive skin tightening could be a good way to improve your liposuction results.
