Liposuction in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles CA

Are you thinking about getting liposuction in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles, California? Contact us today.

The most popular plastic surgery technique is liposuction. The rationale is simple: the results are usually fantastic, and many of us have body parts we wish were thinner. Because liposuction is so widespread and the techniques for conducting it are always improving, Lloyd Krieger MD has created a specialist “center within a center” dedicated entirely to the surgery. To get the finest possible liposuction outcomes and individualized recuperation regimens, we mix state-of-the-art equipment, specialist staff training, and modern technology.

Fluid is injected into the fat during the process. This enables better tissue sculpting while also introducing anesthesia and a medication to constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding. Tumescent liposuction is the name for this procedure. To reduce scarring, multiple small incisions are made in areas of natural skin folds, and small hollow tubes are introduced beneath the skin to suction out fat. We tailor our approach to your specific requirements. Microliposuction, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction are some of these procedures. We also provide liposculpture without the need of anesthetic.

What is liposuction and how does it work?

It’s a part of being human, yet no matter how often you workout or eat healthy, there are pockets of fat that refuse to disappear.
Lipoplasty, or liposuction, is a procedure that removes such pockets.

A tube suctions out the fat through tiny incisions in the target locations. Liposuction can be used to remove fat from the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, inner knees, chest, cheeks, chin, calves, and ankles, among other places. This body-contouring operation can also be combined with other treatments like tummy tucks and facelifts to improve the results.

Is Liposuction a Good Option for Me?

Almost everyone has a spot or spots on their body where fat refuses to respond to exercise or dietary modifications. If you’ve done everything else and still can’t get rid of these places, liposuction might be the answer. Liposuction isn’t a weight-loss operation; it’s merely a means to get rid of those obstinate fat pockets. If you meet the following criteria, the procedure may be beneficial to you:

You’re about 15% of the way to your optimum body weight.
You have a strong, supple complexion.
Your muscle tone is excellent.
You keep your weight in check.

All potential patients should conduct some research prior to their initial session. Learn about the surgery and look at a lot of before and after photos of liposuction patients to see if there are any photos of people with body types comparable to yours.

During your appointment, Lloyd Krieger MD will go over the treatment, your expectations, and goals, as well as whether it appears to be a suitable fit for you.
Lloyd Krieger MD will review your medical history and perform a physical examination on you. Successful candidates must be in good general health, as with any surgical operation.

Liposuction is a procedure that removes fat from the body.

Dr. Lloyd Krieger starts the surgery by creating small incisions in the areas that need to be treated. The fat is then loosened using a liquid solution before being removed. This helps to decrease bruising and damage. Then, through the incisions, a small tube called a cannula is inserted, and Lloyd Krieger MD slides the tube around under the skin to suction out the undesirable fat.

How many liposuction sessions will be required?

Liposuction is normally done only once in a specific location. Of course, many of our customers return to have another region treated after seeing the slimmed contour achieved by their liposuction operation.

What are some of the benefits of liposuction?

The human body is skilled at accumulating and preserving fat in certain locations. Because of this feature, no matter how fit you are, you will almost certainly still have stubborn pockets of fat that appear impossible to lose. Pockets of fat in areas like the lower belly and flanks, no matter how many specific exercises you do, are highly tenacious and tough.

Liposuction is the only technique to get rid of these fat pockets for good. They’re no longer with us. There will be no more crunches. No more annoyance. Liposuction results in long-term fat reduction and a leaner silhouette. We all have places in our lives where we could benefit from some of that.

Furthermore, contemporary liposuction is a simple technique.Liposuction was a relatively aggressive operation when it initially arrived in the United States from France in the 1980s. The cannulas used were fairly huge, and they had to be pushed back and forth under the skin extremely quickly to break free and suction the fat away.

Dr. Krieger and other surgeons now employ the tumescent approach, in which a saline solution, lidocaine, and epinephrine mixture is delivered into the treatment area before the cannula is inserted. Lidocaine acts as a local anesthetic. The epinephrine constricts the blood arteries, resulting in decreased blood loss and bleeding.
It also constricts fat cells, making them easier to break free and suction away. All of this adds up to a rather simple recovery. In most cases, patients can return to work within a few days.

Recovery Time

The treated areas will be wrapped after the treatment to assist reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. For the next three to four weeks, you’ll need to wear compression garments, elastic bandages, or other form-fitting clothing to help your body acclimate to its new contour. For the first week to ten days, there will be a lot of bruising and swelling.

The length of your recuperation will be determined on the extent of the treated areas.
You can normally return to work in two to three days if only a little amount of fat has been removed from a specific region.
You may need a week of rest if you’ve had many locations treated.

Results of Liposuction

You will be able to observe improvements right away, but the full extent of the surgery may take up to a month to materialize owing to swelling and body modification.
Within six weeks, most patients can resume their normal routine, including exercise.

Liposuction results might last a lifetime if you take care of yourself. However, while the fat removed will not return to that location, it may create pockets elsewhere if you gain weight. As a result, maintaining a healthy lifestyle will yield the best benefits.

We personalize your liposuction process to ensure that you get the finest results possible. To that purpose, before to your surgery, we provide you with a thorough consultation:

Your plastic surgeon will examine you and make recommendations about the best liposuction operation and recuperation regimen for you.
To avoid discomfort, the surgery is normally performed as an outpatient under general anaesthetic or local anesthetic with sedation delivered by a medical anesthesiologist. The procedure is sometimes performed without any anaesthetic at all, but always in the safety and comfort of our fully accredited surgery center. Because we employ a long-acting local anesthetic as part of the treatment, most patients experience very little pain afterward. After surgery, most patients return to work within a week or less. Following surgery, there may be some bruising for a week or so, as well as swelling that can last for months.

Is liposuction a risky procedure?

Liposuction is a relatively simple operation that involves making small incisions and using small cannulas to remove fat pockets. These techniques are becoming increasingly minimally invasive. Patients are now losing very little blood, and tissue stress is drastically minimized. As previously stated, the hazards are minimal.
Liposuction has been used to remove stubborn fat for millions of people all over the world and has proven to be a safe, successful, and long-lasting procedure. This is not, however, a weight-loss surgery. In most situations, Dr. Krieger wants his liposuction patients to be within 10% of their optimum weight to be eligible for the procedure. Too much weight loss can be harmful, but that isn’t an issue for our patients who only want to get rid of a few stubborn pockets of fat.

What are the dangers and side effects of liposuction?

Liposuction is an invasive technique that carries the usual risks of surgery, including as bleeding, infection, and an allergic response to the anesthesia, but these complications are uncommon with modern liposuction.

Liposuction-related complications include:

* Inconsistencies in the contour – The treated region may appear rough or wavy. This is more common in patients with inelastic skin.
* Numbness – Numbness in the affected area is usually transitory, although it might last for a long time.
* Fluid buildup – Seromas (temporary pockets of fluid) can occur. It’s possible that these will need to be drained.
* After the underlying fat has been removed, the main risk is uneven patches, but with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Krieger, this is a very low risk. He has a lot of liposuction experience.

What is the price of liposuction?

The cost of these operations vary a lot depending on what you want to get done. We can perform liposuction on a patient’s jowls, for example, to remove fat that has caused a double chin. As you might assume, this is a considerably more limited operation than, instance, the entire lower abdomen or upper thighs.
