Liposuction Treatment Areas

Liposuction is used to improve the form and contours of the body

Patients desire to get rid of fat in their thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, arms, neck, and back. They've usually tried diet and exercise but still can't get rid of the fat deposits.

Abdomen

The abdomen is a common area for this procedure, as it tends to accumulate stubborn fat. This procedure can flatten and smooth the stomach area, helping to define the waistline and reduce bulges that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Upper Arms

In the upper arms, liposuction targets the excess fat that causes a 'batwing' appearance. This procedure can reshape the arms, making them appear more toned and proportionate to the rest of the body.

Buttocks

Liposuction of the buttocks can sculpt and reduce the size, enhancing the natural curves and contour. It's ideal for removing disproportionate fat deposits and improving overall body symmetry.

Calves and Ankles

This area, often referred to as the 'cankles,' can benefit from liposuction by creating a more defined and slender look in the lower legs, enhancing the natural shape of the calves and ankles.

Chest and Back

For both men and women, liposuction can be used to contour the chest and back area, removing excess fat deposits that contribute to a bulky appearance and helping to achieve a smoother, more toned look.

Hips and Thighs

The abdomen is a common area for this procedure, as it tends to accumulate stubborn fat. This procedure can flatten and smooth the stomach area, helping to define the waistline and reduce bulges that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Chin and Neck

Liposuction in the chin and neck area can eliminate a double chin or reduce excess neck fat, leading to a more defined jawline and an overall more youthful and balanced facial appearance.

What are the benefits of Liposuction?

Improve your self-image

Patients benefit in both physical and psychological ways as a result of skilled liposuction surgery. You may revitalize your body physique by shedding unnecessary body fat from areas like the neck, thighs, hips, chest, buttocks, abdomen, and back. You can also modify your self-image, which can change behavior and lead to more positive outcomes. After the procedure, patients' self-confidence eventually returns as they become more comfortable with their bodies. Patients are also more energized and enthusiastic about their lives.

Am I a good candidate for Liposuction?

Patients may be advised to:

  • Stop Smoking: Smoking can affect healing, so quitting at least a few weeks before the procedure is usually recommended.

Your Liposuction Procedure

Be comfortable in your skin

Liposuction utilizes small, inconspicuous incisions to achieve desired results. Prior to the procedure, a dilute local anesthetic is administered to minimize bleeding and discomfort.

Next, a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through these incisions. Using a controlled back-and-forth motion, the cannula gently loosens and mobilizes excess fat. A syringe or surgical vacuum connected to the cannula then precisely removes the dislodged fat from the body.

Liposuction Recovery

Healing is part of the journey

Like other surgical treatments, liposuction generates swelling, making it difficult to notice its effects immediately after surgery. Instead of being trim and toned, post-operative puffiness may make you appear to be retaining water.

When fat is removed, the overlying skin in the treated area needs time to retract and tighten. The time it takes for the swelling to go down and the skin to retract differs from patient to patient. While you will likely be able to return to normal activities within a few weeks of liposuction surgery, it could take three to six months to see your final results. The best thing you can do to ensure your recovery is to follow all of Dr. Mirzabeigi's post-operative instructions.

Liposuction Results

The fat won't come back

Your lifestyle choices have an effect on the longevity of your liposuction outcomes. Once the fat is eliminated from your body, it does not come back.

However, other fat cells in the area will continue to grow and shrink along with your diet and exercise habits. So, as long as you maintain your weight with a balanced diet and exercise, you should be able to enjoy your sculpted shape for the foreseeable future.
