Liposuction offers the opportunity to remove unwanted fat.  This has great appeal to many of us.  Some people really do think of it as a "miracle surgery."  But there is more to the story.  It is important to truly understand the procedure prior to going forward.  There are a lot of fads when it comes to liposuction, and it pays to get the facts.  This way you are most likely to have the results you are looking for.

Liposuction or liposculpture does offer the opportunity to create dramatic changes in appearance.  The photos shown on this web site are of actual patients, and we have many others to share with you in our offices when you come in for a consultation.  Results will vary for each individual, and we can discuss how liposuction likely will help you when we meet and examine you.

There are a lot of options for Los Angeles liposuction, and it does pay to do your research.  At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we do all our liposuction procedures in our state-of-the-art surgery center.  This means we have trained nurses and a physician anesthesiologist attending to your needs during and after your liposculpture procedure.  Our team of a plastic surgeon, two nurses, and a physician anesthesiologist makes the procedure safer and more comfortable for you -- both during the procedure and in the hours and days that follow.  Surgery is not the time to cut corners, and at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery we always put your safety, comfort, and liposuction result first.  We specialize in Beverly Hills plastic surgery for men and women in all areas of the body.

Common areas for liposuction include the chest, love handles, and abdomen for men.  Often we do the flanks or sides of the abdomen at the same time.  For women, we commonly do the procedure on the thighs and hips and abdomen.  The chin is a popular area for everone -- getting rid of that double chin really helps to make people look and feel more refined and refreshed.  Another area that is growing in popularity is the calves. 

Recovery from liposuction is usually quick and easy.  But you should realize that you will not see all the results right away.  There will be swelling, and the skin has to tighten up in order to show off the new leaner body underneath.  The amount of time this all takes depends on many factors, such as your age, health status, the amount we are removing and so on.  When we meet you we can give you and estimate and discuss the phases of your recovery in more depth.  We can also help you plan for when you can resume full speed on various types of activities.
