A Comprehensive Look at Liposuction in San Diego

Liposuction is a surgical technique that vacuums out stubborn fat tissues from your body to sculpt specific treatment areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Liposuction in San Diego is the perfect solution for eliminating those excess fat pockets that resist natural lifestyle changes. Certain body areas are particularly unresponsive to diet and exercise, making liposuction the only viable option for contouring these specific regions.

As you gain or lose weight, your fat cells either expand or shrink. However, the total number of fat cells in your body remains constant throughout your life. Some regions of your body have a higher concentration of fat cells, making it more challenging to reduce stubborn fat in these areas. Liposuction employs a suction technique to dislodge and remove fat tissues from the targeted regions, providing a more contoured look.

Which areas can Liposuction Improve

Liposuction can target a wide range of areas.

During your consultation with us, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss the various regions that can benefit from liposuction, such as the:

What Kinds of Liposuction Do You Offer?

SmartLipo

SmartLipo is recognized as one of the most advanced techniques in liposuction. This laser-assisted liposuction method uses laser energy to liquefy fat tissues for easier and more efficient removal. By melting the fat, the doctor can extract more fat with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, resulting in improved outcomes and quicker recovery. Additionally, the laser energy induces mild skin contraction, providing a tighter and firmer appearance.

Tumescent Lipo

Tumescent Lipo is a technique that transformed liposuction procedures in the 90s. Before its introduction, liposuction often resulted in significant bleeding and uneven results. Tumescent lipo involves injecting a solution of saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine into the treatment area. This solution numbs the deeper fat layers, temporarily constricts blood vessels to minimize bleeding, and facilitates the optimal removal of fat.

ThermaLipo

ThermaLipo is an advanced procedure that integrates power-assisted liposuction, tumescent liposuction, and Thermage skin tightening for highly personalized results. The process begins with tumescent liposuction, which firms the fat cells, making them easier to extract. The power-assisted technique efficiently removes large volumes of fat without harming the surrounding tissues, while Thermage technology applies radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin, achieving a youthful and contoured look.

VelaShape Fat Reduction

VelaShape is a non-invasive body sculpting procedure designed for cellulite reduction, helping you achieve a smooth, toned, and contoured appearance. This treatment combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, and suction technology to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin tissues, and contour the body. VelaShape is often used alongside liposuction treatments to address skin laxity after stubborn fat has been removed, resulting in a smoother and more evenly textured skin.

Are You The Ideal Liposuction Candidate?

Liposuction is a highly specialized procedure that can be customized to fit your body contouring goals. During your consultation, Dr. Tirgari will thoroughly assess your body type and medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for liposuction and recommend the most appropriate type for you. It’s important to note that liposuction is best suited for adults who are within 30% of their ideal body weight and have firm, elastic skin. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution, as there’s a safe limit to the amount of fat that can be removed—around six to eight pounds.

While this may be sufficient to contour specific areas with stubborn fat, it won’t make a significant difference for those who are overweight. Candidates should also be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-treatment to prevent weight gain in other areas. Generally, you might be a suitable candidate for liposuction in San Diego if you:

  • Are within 30% of your ideal body weight
  • Have a fairly firm, elastic, and toned body
  • Don’t have life-threatening underlying medical conditions
  • Are a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations for the results
  • Plan to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure
  • Do not anticipate future pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR LIPOSUCTION,
IN SAN DIEGO AT AVALON LIPO & AESTHETICS at Avalon Lipo & Aesthetics

During your consultation, Dr. Tirgari will discuss your cosmetic goals, create a personalized treatment plan, and recommend the type of liposuction best suited to your specific needs. Before the procedure, he will mark the treatment areas to guide the process. While the exact steps may vary depending on the type of liposuction, some commonalities exist. Your liposuction will likely be performed under local or general anesthesia, and you will receive comprehensive information prior to the surgery day.

The procedure involves making an incision in the treatment area to insert a cannula, a tube-like device that loosens fat tissues using vibrations or laser energy, followed by suction to remove the fat from your body.

Once the desired amount of fat has been removed, you will spend a few hours in the recovery room. Post-treatment, you may experience swelling, discomfort, and bruising, but you will be provided with medications to manage the pain. The incisions might be left open temporarily, with drains used to manage fluid buildup.

You will need to wear tight compression garments to minimize swelling, which may last for several weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions and a recovery timeline will be provided to help you understand the healing process. Your final results will be visible within a few months.
