The tumescent technique is used during most liposuction procedures performed by our surgeons for our patients in the Los Angeles area. Liposuction may be a good choice for you if you have dieted and exercised but there are still stubborn areas of fat that will not go away. While liposuction is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, or an alternative to weight loss, it can make you look and feel better.
Candidates for body sculpting through liposuction have realistic expectations about the procedure and are only slightly to moderately overweight. You will be able to achieve the best results if you have firm, elastic skin and are in good health. Tumescent liposuction can address distinct areas of localized fat that are disproportionate to the rest of your body. The most frequent areas treated by this cosmetic surgery procedure vary by Los angeles tumescent liposuction patient gender. For men, treatment areas often include the “love handles,” chest, abdomen and neckline. In women they include: thighs, hips, buttocks, stomach, knees, lower leg, cheeks, and double chins.
