Understanding Liposuction: Targeted Fat Removal in Pasadena

Many individuals struggle with localized fat deposits resistant to traditional diet and exercise methods. Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to surgically remove stubborn fatty tissue, helping patients achieve their ideal body contours and beautifully shape their physique.

How Liposuction Can Transform Your Body

Liposuction offers precise body sculpting by removing excess fat while defining natural contours. Commonly performed on areas like thighs, hips, back, love handles, and stomach, this procedure can be customized to target specific body regions with advanced surgical techniques.

Patient Considerations

While liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, it effectively targets localized fat deposits for patients near their ideal weight. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.

Surgical Recovery and Results

Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising, with full results becoming apparent after 6-9 months. Maintenance of results requires a consistent healthy lifestyle and steady weight.
