If disciplined diet and exercise fails to result in the healthy weight
loss you’re seeking, a body sculpting procedure may be a consideration.
Liposuction, one of the most popular cosmetic surgery options among
women and men alike, is one such procedure
As a Los Angeles liposuction surgeon who has assisted numerous patients
with this procedure, Dr. Taylor can utilize liposuction to add tone
and definition to areas including the:
- Chin
- Upper arms
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Knees
- Calves
Liposuction: Techniques, What to Expect, and Your Candidacy
There are several safe, effective modern liposuction methods; Dr. Taylor’s
methods of choice include the tumescent technique, which involves an
injection for optimal patient comfort, and the ultrasonic (UAL) technique,
which utilizes ultrasound waves to emulsify fat for easier suctioning.
The time required to complete the procedure will vary depending on the
size of the area and the amount of fat being removed. Our Pasadena cosmetic
surgeon, Dr. Taylor, describes the procedure as follows: Through a small
incision near the target area, a cannula is inserted and used to vacuum
the underlying fat. When treating multiple sites, he will perform this
action on each area while working to keep the incisions as inconspicuous
as possible.
Following recovery, most patients find that the target area is tighter,
firmer, and more attractive. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure;
therefore, patients should continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise
plan.
The best candidates for liposuction are healthy, psychologically stable
adults who, despite their desire to eliminate excess pockets of fat,
are within their average weight range with good skin elasticity. Age
is not a serious consideration; however, older patients should be aware
that they may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with
tighter skin.
