What is Liposuction?


Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat from specific areas that haven’t responded to diet or exercise. During the treatment, our skilled surgeons use specialized techniques to gently remove fat cells, sculpting a refined, proportional silhouette. Liposuction can target multiple areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and even smaller areas like under the chin. Each procedure is customized to match your unique goals and body type.

Types of Liposuction Techniques

We offer various advanced liposuction techniques at Marina Plastic Surgery in Pasadena, allowing us to tailor each treatment to your needs and desired results.

  • Tumescent Liposuction: This method involves injecting a solution that numbs the area and makes fat cells easier to remove. It’s known for allowing precise fat removal with minimal discomfort.
  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): PAL uses a vibrating tool to break up fat cells, making the process faster and easier on surrounding tissues. This technique is ideal for larger areas or where more precise contouring is needed.
  • Ultrasonic Liposuction: Sound waves liquefy fat, making it easier to remove and helping to minimize tissue trauma. This procedure is especially effective for dense or fibrous areas.
  • SmartLipo: Often called “laser lipo,” SmartLipo uses laser energy to melt fat cells, which are then gently suctioned out. The heat from the laser also tightens skin, making it a good option for areas where loose skin might be a concern.

Liposuction Benefits

Liposuction offers more than a change in appearance—it’s a boost in confidence and comfort that can positively impact your daily life. Here’s a look at some of the key benefits:

  • Precise Fat Reduction: Effectively targets and removes stubborn fat in specific areas.
  • Enhanced Contours: Creates a more balanced, proportional shape that complements your natural build.
  • Increased Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable in clothing and social situations after treatment.
  • Minimally Invasive: Liposuction uses small incisions, leading to less downtime and faster recovery.
  • Versatile Applications: Can be used on multiple body areas, from large regions like the abdomen to smaller spots like under the chin.

Liposuction Treatment Areas

Liposuction can be customized to treat multiple areas across the body, helping to create a cohesive and refined look:

  • Abdomen: Achieve a flatter, more toned midsection.
  • Waist and Flanks: Reduce “love handles” for a slimmer waistline.
  • Thighs: Contour inner and outer thighs for a balanced shape.
  • Upper Arms: Minimize sagging for smoother, toned arms.
  • Back: Address stubborn back fat for a sleeker appearance.
  • Chin and Neck: Define the jawline and reduce fullness under the chin.

Are You a Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is ideal for those who are in good health and have pockets of fat that don’t respond to lifestyle changes. You may be a candidate if:

  • You have a stable weight and are close to your goal weight but need help with specific problem areas.
  • You’re in good overall health and don’t have any conditions that would impair healing.
  • You have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is about enhancing, not drastically changing, your shape.
  • You’re committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve your results.

Our Pasadena team will discuss your medical history, goals, and any health considerations to confirm if liposuction is a suitable choice for you.

Consultation and Preparation


Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, and learn about the details of the procedure. During your visit to our Pasadena location, we’ll talk about what you hope to achieve and walk you through the process. To prepare, you might be asked to:

  • Pause Certain Medications: Avoid medications and supplements that could increase bleeding.
  • Quit Smoking: Smoking can affect healing, so it’s best to quit well in advance.
  • Arrange for Post-Procedure Support: Having someone to drive you home and help out in the first few days can make recovery easier.

We want you to feel confident and comfortable, knowing exactly what to expect every step of the way.

The Liposuction Procedure


Liposuction at Marina Plastic Surgery Pasadena typically involves local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the areas treated and your comfort level. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

  1. Anesthesia: You’ll be given anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
  2. Small Incisions: Tiny incisions are made near the treatment area, designed to minimize scarring.
  3. Fat Removal: Depending on the technique, fat cells are carefully broken up and removed.
  4. Shaping and Contouring: The surgeon carefully sculpts the area to ensure smooth, natural-looking results.
  5. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to aid healing and help the area settle.

The entire process generally takes one to two hours, but it can vary based on the number of areas treated.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare


You’ll notice some improvement in your shape immediately, but results will continue to refine as swelling subsides. Here’s what to expect as you recover:

  • Quick Results: Initial results are visible right away, with full results developing over a few weeks.
  • Compression Garments: You’ll need to wear a compression garment to support healing and enhance your contours.
  • Minimal Scarring: With tiny incisions, scarring is usually minimal and fades with time.
  • Follow-Up Visits: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure satisfaction with the results.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help keep your results looking great in the long term, allowing you to enjoy your contoured shape for years to come.
