Understanding Liposuction: Body Contouring in Thousand Oaks

Liposuction, or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove modest amounts of superficial fat from specific body areas. This technique targets localized fat deposits that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise methods.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Ideal liposuction candidates include women and men who:

• Are at or near their ideal body weight
• Have specific areas of fat accumulation
• Possess good skin elasticity
• Have realistic body contouring expectations

Common Treatment Areas

Liposuction effectively addresses fat deposits in multiple body regions:

• For Women: Abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, inner knees, neck
• For Men: Chest, neck, abdomen, flanks ("love handles")

Liposuction Techniques

The Kryger Institute offers multiple liposuction approaches, including traditional and ultrasonic techniques. Each method aims to achieve optimal body contouring with minimal invasiveness.

Surgical Considerations

The liposuction procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and can be performed under twilight or general anesthesia. Incisions are minimal, usually less than a quarter-inch, and strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within 3-4 days and experience gradual improvement in body contours. Swelling decreases significantly within 6-8 weeks, with final results becoming apparent around six months post-procedure.
