Body Sculpting Liposuction in Glendale, CA | Saul R. Berger M.D. Inc.

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific body areas. This precise surgical technique allows plastic surgeons to sculpt and reshape targeted regions, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck.

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Modern liposuction has benefited from significant technological refinements, including:

• Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL)
• Tumescent technique
• Super-wet technique

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The most suitable liposuction candidates are individuals who:

• Maintain a normal, stable body weight
• Possess firm, elastic skin
• Have localized fat deposits
• Are physically healthy
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations

Procedure Overview

During liposuction, a narrow tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions. The cannula systematically breaks up and suctions fat cells, allowing precise body contouring. Specialized fluid injection techniques help minimize bruising and facilitate fat removal.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically experience noticeable body shape improvements within weeks after surgery. Full results become apparent after three to six months, once swelling subsides. Wearing compression garments and following post-operative instructions can optimize healing and outcomes.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While liposuction is generally safe, potential risks include temporary numbness, swelling, and minor skin irregularities. Patients with certain medical conditions may require additional medical evaluation before undergoing the procedure.
