Body Contouring Liposuction California | Teleos Plastic Surgery - Max R. Lehfeldt, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction: Advanced Body Sculpting Techniques

Liposuction, medically known as lipoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and enhance body contours. This treatment targets stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional diet and exercise regimens, helping patients achieve a more refined body shape.

Liposuction Treatment Areas

Dr. Lehfeldt offers comprehensive liposuction procedures targeting multiple body regions:

• Abdomen and waist
• Love handles
• Thighs and hips
• Arms and back
• Neck and chin
• Inner knees and calves

Procedure Overview: Traditional and Advanced Techniques

Teleos Plastic Surgery provides two primary liposuction approaches: traditional surgical liposuction and innovative Smartlipo® laser techniques. Each method is carefully selected based on individual patient needs and body composition.

Traditional Liposuction Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia, traditional liposuction involves creating small, strategic incisions and using specialized cannulas to remove targeted fat cells. The procedure is typically completed on an outpatient basis with minimal scarring.

Smartlipo® Laser Liposuction

A cutting-edge alternative to traditional methods, Smartlipo® utilizes laser technology to melt fat cells while simultaneously promoting skin tightening. This minimally invasive technique offers reduced recovery time and enhanced body contouring results.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal liposuction candidates are individuals at or near their target weight with localized fat deposits. The procedure is not a weight loss solution but a body sculpting technique designed to refine and reshape specific areas.

Recovery and Results

Recovery experiences vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within days to weeks following the procedure. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial for preserving liposuction results.
