Liposuction

Liposuction & Plastic Surgery in Ventura County and Woodland Hills

No matter how hard we try to diet and exercise, our bodies tend to hold onto fat stores in certain areas. Most often this fat accumulates in the hip and waist areas, causing love handles or saddle bags. Both men and women may experience this. For people who have been unsuccessful in getting rid of stubborn fat stores by eating well and exercising, liposuction may be the answer. Liposuction actually removes unwanted fat and can therefore magnify the results of your hard work. In addition to be used in common problem areas such as the waist and hips, liposuction may be performed on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms, back, inner knee, chin, neck, calves, and cheeks. It may be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or breast lift in order to maximize results.

About Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed throughout the U.S. In 2008 alone, more than 340,000 of these procedures were performed nationwide - second only to breast augmentation. Liposuction can produce amazing results. During the procedure, a special instrument called a cannula is used to extract fat from underneath the skin, removing it from the body. The surgeon will use this instrument to target the areas where fat has been stored by the body. Depending on the amount of fat and the areas the patient would like to target, liposuction may take anywhere from one to four hours.
