Liposuction in Newport Beach, Orange County - California

Liposuction can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific body areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, upper arms, chin, cheeks or neck.

The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. Age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger person with tighter skin.

After liposuction surgery, you will likely experience some fluid drainage from the incisions. A small drainage tube may be inserted for a few days to prevent fluid buildup. To control swelling and help your skin better fit its new contours, you may be fitted with a snug elastic garment that is worn over the treated area for up to 6 weeks. Stitches are removed or dissolve within the first 7 to 10 days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for about 1 month. Although most of the bruising usually disappears within 3 weeks, some swelling may remain for 6 months or more. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and see if any additional procedures are needed.
