Liposuction in San Diego

Liposuction can create a smoother, more contoured appearance by reducing stubborn fat pockets. Patients often notice improved body shape, better clothing fit, and enhanced confidence. When performed on appropriately selected patients, results are long-lasting provided weight remains stable.

Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are close to their goal weight but struggle with specific areas of excess fat. Candidates should have good skin elasticity, be in overall good health, and have realistic expectations. In some cases, depending on skin quality and laxity, additional skin tightening or skin removal procedures may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, back, chest, and neck. Treatment areas are selected based on anatomy, skin quality, and individual goals.

Liposuction is performed through small, discreet incisions. A specialized cannula is used to gently remove excess fat while preserving surrounding structures. In certain patients, liposuction may be combined with a skin tightening or skin excision procedure performed at the same time to improve contour and address excess skin. Recovery varies by treatment area and extent, with gradual improvement in contour as swelling resolves.
