Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular treatment for targeting areas of cellulite. For most people, looking and feeling good is vital to their confidence and self-esteem. Eating right and exercising can help us lose weight and change our body shape. However, there are a number of people who experience the frustration of dealing with unwanted pockets of fat, regardless of how much they diet and exercise. Common problem areas include the hips, buttocks, thighs and stomach.
Fortunately, you don’t need to live with unwanted fat any longer. Liposuction can remove these stubborn fat cells, toning and contouring the body, creating a more defined and attractive shape. Dr. Lesavoy is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with a notable reputation for delivering exceptional liposuction services to patients in and around Beverly Hills, CA.

Types of liposuction
There are two main varieties of liposuction, traditional and laser. The type of liposuction that is right for you will depend on your personal circumstances and will be discussed with you at your consultation appointment with Dr. Lesavoy.
Liposuction is most often recommended for patients who have stubborn areas of fat on their stomach, thighs, bottom and hips.
During surgical liposuction, salt water is injected into the body to break up the fatty deposits. Next, a cannula – a thin, metal tube attached to a vacuum – is inserted into the fat, sucking away the adipose tissue.
It may be necessary to perform multiple extractions to remove all of the areas of fat and create a smooth appearance. However, the incisions made by the cannula are extremely small and do not require sutures. They might leave small marks, but these will fade over time and will be virtually imperceptible.
During laser liposuction, the laser is inserted into the body through the cannula, where it liquifies the fat cells, before they can be gently sucked out. Again, it may be necessary to insert the cannula multiple times to remove all of the necessary areas of fat.
If you have surgical liposuction, you might need to stay in hospital for at least 24 hours following your surgery. You should take off from work for at least a week, and refrain from anything other than very light activity. You will also need to wear a compression garment over the area treated for up to 8 weeks.
If you have laser liposuction, you will be able to go home the same day as your procedure and should be fully recovered within around 4 days. You will also have to wear a compression garment, but only for around a week.
Are you unhappy with the shape of your body, and frustrated by lack of results from exercise and diet? Liposuction could be the perfect solution. Dr. Lesavoy has the experience and skill necessary to perform safe and effetive liposuction procedures for patients in and around Beverly Hills, CA.
