Liposuction Special

LIPOSUCTION AREAS

Abdominal Liposuction

The abdomen is the most popular area to have liposuction performed. Women who have given birth have had their abdominal muscles stretched. This tends to make the lower abdomen to push out,  deprecating the curve that many women hope to attain. Liposuction will usually produce the desired results. However in more extreme cases a tummy tuck may better serve the patient.

It’s important to know that there are 2 distinct locations of fat in the abdominal region. Subcutaneous fat is located directly beneath the skin and deep abdominal fat is located on the intestines. Subcutaneous fat can be safely removed using liposuction. Deep abdominal fat cannot. It must be removed through diet and exercise.

Liposuction of the Arms

This procedure is performed almost exclusively on women. Pockets of fat accumulate under the upper arms. Many women in Temecula like to wear sleeveless blouses and shirts and are self conscious of their arms. Liposuction is performed around the entire arm so that there is no flap of skin left hanging down. The result is a smooth rounded arm.

Liposuction of the Thighs

Removing too much subcutaneous fat from the thighs can cause the skin to have ripples or pockets. At the Temecula Body Contouring Center depending on the amount of subcutaneous fat we may schedule more than one liposuction session for your thighs.

Liposuction of the Buttocks

To achieve the best results, we always uses the smallest cannula and multiple tiny incisions to preserve the rounded symmetry of the buttocks. With a reshaped posterior, clothes fit better and patients report a very high degree of satisfaction.

Liposuction of the Back

There are several areas of the back that liposuction can be performed on for great effect. These include the area just below the shoulder blades but above the waist, the area near each armpit, middle of the back near the tailbone, and the top middle of the back near the neck.

Is Liposuction Painful?

Liposuction is usually performed using one of 3 methods of anesthesia. Local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and heavy IV sedation.

What are the Different Methods of Liposuction?

Tumescent Liposuction

This method of Liposuction uses large quantities of a diluted local anesthesia. It is injected into the subcutaneous fat. This causes the targeted areas to become tumescent, or swollen and firm. Local anesthesia is the safest form of anesthesia. The effects of this local anesthesia persist for many hours reducing the need for narcotic pain medications after surgery.

Modified Tumescent Liposuction

This type of liposuction uses local anesthesia plus general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation. If heavy IV sedation is used it is always administered by an anesthesiologist.

Tickle Liposuction

Tickle liposuction is different than traditional liposuction because the cannula is operated by air and doesn’t apply heat, greatly improving patient comfort. Once inserted through a small incision, the cannula uses high-frequency vibration to liquefy fat deposits while simultaneously suctioning the fat out, making the procedure shorter than other liposuction methods. Because there is no heat generated during tickle liposuction, unwanted fat can be harvested and used for fat transplantation.

Many patients ask us how much weight they’ll lose after a liposuction treatment. The goal of liposuction is not to lose extra pounds – it’s about contouring the body and losing inches. This makes the treatment ideal for people who have reached their target weight but want to reduce localized pockets of fat on the arms, thighs, or abdomen for a boost in confidence.

What Makes Great Liposuction?

At the Temecula Liposulpture Center we always practice a physicians code of “first, do no harm.” We never expose patients to unnecessary risks. We never perform a single liposuction procedure when two separate procedures will better serve the patient.
