Liposuction
Liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure. The reason is simple: The results tend to be excellent, and many of us have body areas which we wish were thinner. Because this procedure is so common, and the techniques for performing it are changing quickly, Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery has developed a specialized “center within a center” focusing solely on liposuction. LipoPlus combines state of the art equipment, specialized staff training, and advanced technology to create the best possible liposuction results and customized recovery programs. First Year of Your Diet in a DayTM provides appropriate candidates with remarkable body transformation.



Our medical director was recently selected to write the chapter on liposuction for the Handbook of Plastic Surgery. This important textbook was created to teach other plastic surgeons the most current and advanced techniques.

The most common areas treated with liposuction include the neck, chin, abdomen, “love handles”, hips, thighs and calves. Many men undergo the procedure to the chest area, to treat excess fat of the male breast found in a syndrome called “gynecomastia.”

During the procedure, fluid is injected into the fat. This allows for easier sculpting of the tissues, and also introduces anesthetic and a medicine to constrict blood vessels to minimize bleeding. This technique is called tumescent liposuction. Multiple small incisions are made in areas of natural skin folds to minimize scarring, and small hollow tubes are inserted under the skin to suction out fat. At LipoPlus, we use techniques individualized to the needs of the patient. Some of these techniques include microliposuction, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound assisted-liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction.


During your consultation at LipoPlus, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the type of liposuction procedure and recovery program to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, under general anesthesia or local anesthesia and sedation administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week or less after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for up to two months following surgery. Some people are better candidates for a tummy tuck than for liposuction. For more information on liposuction click here.
