Sculpt Your Ideal Shape With Expert Liposuction in East County

Extra fat can be challenging to get rid of. Even with a regimen of diet and exercise, stubborn fat pockets can remain. Fortunately, there is liposuction. Liposuction surgery removes unwanted fat from strategic locations around the body, smooths contours, and helps define the underlying muscles by exposing them.

Wherever your stubborn fat deposits reside, liposuction can be used to help remove them. Coastal Plastic Surgery in Poway, CA offers personalized liposuction procedures tailor-made to give you the contours you desire.

What Can Liposuction Achieve?

Sculpted Body Contour

Stubborn fat deposits can disrupt your body’s contours, leaving you flabby in places you do not want. It can be frustrating when clothing fits poorly or when bathing suits are uncomfortable to wear. Targeted fat removal is difficult—if not impossible—naturally. Fortunately, liposuction can achieve targeted fat removal, smoothing out your contours, and giving you your ideal body shape.

Targeted Fat Removal

The fat deposits removed via liposuction do not grow back over time. By removing the fat cells in the treated area, liposuction ensures that the targeted area remains slim, even if you gain excess weight later. This is because fat cells do not regenerate—they simply grow in size during weight gain. As the remaining cells can still expand, you must stay close to your optimal weight to preserve your new contours.

Personalized Treatment

Liposuction is one of the easiest procedures to tailor to the desires of the patient. Wherever your unwanted fat deposits are, Dr. Jindal can target them. You may also choose to have areas enhanced with strategic liposuction treatments designed to define your muscles. This is most common in the abdomen (known as abdominal etching), where patients prefer muscles to be highly visible.

How Does Your Liposuction Procedure Work?

Treatment Areas

Liposuction is a flexible and personalized procedure that allows your surgeon to target specific areas for fat removal. Dr. Jindal will work with you during your consultation to determine which areas should be treated and to what degree.

Common treatment areas include:

Abdomen
Buttocks
Bra line and back
Cheeks
Chin
Chest
Flanks and hips
Inner and outer thighs
Knees, calves, and ankles
Neck and jowls
Upper arms
Waist

Procedure Details

Liposuction is generally performed under general anesthesia, though in some cases, local anesthesia coupled with a sedative may be used. The type of anesthesia is determined by the size and location of the targeted areas. During the surgery, small incisions are made near the treatment area. Various techniques are then used to loosen the fat and separate it from the muscles and skin.

The most common ways to loosen fat include laser, mechanical, or water-based techniques. A tube called a cannula is then inserted via the incisions, and the loosened fat cells are suctioned away. The larger incisions are sealed with sutures or stitches, while the smaller ones may be sealed with surgical glue. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure, and we recommend that you have someone stay with you for a day or two following the surgery.

Combinations

Liposuction is effective as a standalone procedure, but it is commonly combined with other cosmetic surgical treatments. Some of the most common combinations include:

Tummy tuck: Tummy tuck surgery tightens loose abdominal muscles and treats abdominal laxity.
Male breast reduction: Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure to treat gynecomastia, the presence of excess breast tissue or fat in men.
Arm lift: An arm lift tightens and firms the upper arms by removing excess skin.
Thigh lift: A thigh lift removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs.
Mommy Makeover: A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures that allow women to rejuvenate their bodies following pregnancy.

Easing Your Concerns

Recovery

After your surgery, you will be provided a compression garment to wear around your incision sites to help reduce swelling and speed your healing process. This garment should be worn consistently for around a week. Most patients can return to work and most daily activities within one week. Rigorous exercise should not be performed for two to three weeks.

Pain

Liposuction surgery is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the liposuction itself. Following the operation, patients will experience swelling, soreness, and mild to moderate pain in the treated areas. Prescription or over-the-counter pain medications may be used as needed to treat pain. The swelling and discomfort should dissipate within a couple of weeks.

Scars

Liposuction does not require large incisions to be effective. As such, scarring is usually minimal, if it occurs at all. Patients should keep their incision sites out of direct sunlight to aid the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Any liposuction scars that do develop will fade over time.

Cost

The cost of liposuction in the Murrieta & Poway, CA, area can vary based on a series of factors. These may include:

Number and size of treatment areas
Anesthesia fees
Surgical fees
Facility fees

You will receive a personalized liposuction price after your consultation with Coastal Plastic Surgeons.

FAQs Liposuction

When will my final liposuction results be visible?

Your initial results should be visible after two to three weeks, while your final results will gradually become apparent over the following six months as bruising and swelling subside.

Your results are permanent, as the extracted fat cells will not regenerate; however, maintaining a healthy lifestyle will prevent fat cells in other areas of your body from growing and negating your results.

Am I a candidate for liposuction in the Murrieta, CA, area?

Ideal candidates for liposuction are non-smokers who are physically healthy and do not have medical conditions that impede healing. Suitable candidates should have realistic expectations of their results and the dedication to maintain their results through a healthy lifestyle. Ideally, candidates will be within 30 pounds of their ideal final weight.

Will liposuction help me lose weight?

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure; it is designed for body sculpting. That said, some may experience a slight change in weight. Should the patient not maintain a healthy lifestyle, new fat deposits may grow in other areas. This is why some patients believe that liposuction moves fat around rather than removes it. In truth, new fat deposits can grow rapidly in other areas of the body if excessive weight gain occurs.

How dangerous is liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure and carries some degree of unavoidable risk. That said, liposuction procedures have been performed safely for decades. While rare, complications may include:

Negative anesthesia reactions
Bruising
Swelling
Infection
Fluid retention
