Advanced Body Contouring Liposuction | Pasadena, CA

Understanding Liposuction in Pasadena

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure designed to permanently remove stubborn fat deposits that have not responded to traditional diet and exercise methods. Genetic predispositions often determine how and where our bodies store fat, with some individuals experiencing excess fat in specific areas like the upper body, midsection, or legs.

Treatment Areas and Body Sculpting

Liposuction can effectively target and remove excess fat from multiple body regions, including:

• Face: Neck and jawline
• Upper body: Arms, chest, back
• Torso: Abdomen, waist, hips
• Lower body: Buttocks, thighs, knees, calves

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is best suited for patients who are in good overall physical condition but struggle with localized fat deposits. The procedure is not designed for significant weight loss but rather body contouring and targeted fat reduction.

Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery - Min Caroline, MD utilizes advanced liposuction techniques to ensure precise and safe fat removal. The procedure involves strategically placed small incisions and uses tumescent fluid to minimize bruising and bleeding.

Surgical Techniques

Multiple liposuction methods are available, including:

• Power-assisted liposuction

Recovery and Results

Liposuction Expectations

While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas, maintaining results requires a consistent healthy lifestyle. Weight gain will cause remaining fat cells to expand proportionally across the body.
