Understanding Liposuction: Targeted Fat Removal

People of all ages and sizes can develop "stubborn" pockets of fat that resist traditional diet and exercise. These fatty tissue deposits are challenging to eliminate through spot reduction workouts, making it difficult to achieve a desired body contour.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as liposculpture or "lipo," is a popular body sculpting procedure designed to remove stubborn fat pockets and create a slimmer, more refined body shape. Dr. Joshua Waltzman performs liposuction with exceptional precision, targeting areas ranging from delicate facial regions to larger areas like the abdomen.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

The ideal liposuction candidate in Long Beach typically meets the following criteria:

• Relatively fit and within 10 pounds of ideal weight
• Excellent skin elasticity
• Good muscle tone
• Non-smoker
• Realistic expectations about procedure outcomes

Treatable Areas for Liposuction

Liposuction's versatility allows treatment of multiple body areas, including:

• Chin and neck
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Flanks
• Back
• Thighs
• Knees

Procedure Overview

Dr. Waltzman's liposuction procedure involves precise steps to ensure patient safety and optimal results. After applying local anesthesia, small incisions are made, and a tumescent solution is introduced to prepare the fatty tissue. A specialized cannula is then used to break up and extract fat cells, sculpting the desired body contour.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically takes one to two weeks, with patients experiencing temporary bruising and swelling. Compression garments are recommended to support healing and body shaping. Once fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate, offering long-lasting results when maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
