Liposuction: Sculpting Your Body in Newport Beach and Orange County
In Newport Beach
and Orange County, there are
countless ads on the radio,
magazines, and newspapers that claim
to help you lose fat, especially in
those difficult areas like your
thighs and love-handles. They
promise miraculous results with
minimum effort and no down-time.
At Renaissance
Plastic, Reconstructive, & Aesthetic
Surgery of Newport Beach and Orange
County, we believe in informing our
patients about the real facts about
liposuction, a procedure which helps to
sculpt the body to achieve a more
attractive and youthful shape and
appearance. Liposuction is best suited
to remove localized deposits of unwanted
fat in specific areas such as the
abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees,
upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck.
Liposuction is not a procedure for
general weight loss. Liposuction does
not remove cellulite. However,
liposuction can be a powerful tool in
removing fat from areas of the body
which typically do not respond to weight
loss such as the outer thighs or “saddle
bags”.
Liposuction achieves
the best results in individuals with
relatively elastic skin (those without
sagginess to their skin tone). In fact,
for those patients with already existing
loose skin, liposuction may worsen the
appearance of the loose skin. In such
instances, the loose skin may require
surgical excision (removal).
Tumescent
liposuction is used in most cases. In
this method of liposuction, a local
anesthetic (numbing medication) is
injected in the areas which are to be
suctioned. A small amount of epinephrine
is also injected with the local
anesthetic to help to minimize bleeding
and bruising.
