What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body using a specialized suction technique. It is commonly used to contour and sculpt areas rather than serve as a weight loss solution.

At SOMA, liposuction procedures in Pasadena are customized to enhance natural body shape while maintaining proportion and symmetry.

Benefits of Liposuction

  • Enhances body contours and overall definition.
  • Improves the proportion between different areas of the body.
  • Can be used on multiple areas in a single procedure.
  • Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.
  • Removes stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

What Liposuction Can Address

Liposuction is designed to improve areas where excess fat affects overall contour and balance.

  • Flanks or “love handles,” improving the transition between the waist and hips.
  • Back, chin, or other localized areas where fat may accumulate and resist lifestyle changes.
  • Abdomen and waist, helping create a flatter, more defined midsection.
  • Thighs, refining both inner and outer contours for improved proportion.
  • Arms, reducing excess fat to create a more toned appearance.

Types of Liposuction Techniques

Different liposuction techniques may be used depending on your needs and the treatment area.

Traditional Liposuction

This technique uses a cannula to manually break up and remove fat, offering precise contouring in a variety of areas.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

This method uses a vibrating cannula to help break up fat more efficiently, allowing for smoother and more controlled fat removal.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction

Ultrasound energy is used to liquefy fat before removal, which may be beneficial in certain areas or for fibrous tissue.

Your provider will determine the most appropriate technique based on your anatomy and goals.

Recovery After Liposuction

Recovery after liposuction in Pasadena involves a period of healing as the body adjusts to the new contours. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the initial recovery phase.

Aftercare

Following post-operative instructions, including wearing compression garments and limiting certain activities, is essential for optimal healing.

Results Over Time

Initial improvements are visible after surgery, with final results developing gradually as swelling subsides and the body settles.

How Long Do Liposuction Results Last?

Liposuction results are long-lasting, as the removed fat cells do not return. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is important to preserve your results and prevent new fat accumulation in untreated areas.
