Liposuction Overview: Precision Fat Removal in Orange County

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. This advanced body contouring technique is suitable for both women and men, targeting specific areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, and other body regions with disproportionate fat accumulation.

Tumescent Liposuction: A Two-Step Precision Process

The Orange County Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Center utilizes tumescent liposuction, a sophisticated two-step technique that ensures patient comfort and optimal results. This method involves:

• Infusion of tumescent fluid containing long-lasting local anesthetic
• Vasoconstrictor to minimize bruising and bleeding
• Careful removal of excess fat cells using advanced surgical techniques

Procedure Details: What to Expect

Liposuction typically requires 45-90 minutes per treated area. Anesthesia is carefully selected based on the treatment location, with local anesthesia used for outer thighs and hips, and general anesthesia for more extensive areas like arms, back, inner thighs, and abdomen.

Post-Procedure Care and Recovery

After the procedure, patients remain in the office for approximately one hour. A supportive garment is provided for the treated area, which should be worn for several weeks. Self-dissolving sutures are used, typically resolving within two weeks.

Long-Term Results and Body Contouring

Patients can expect a slimmer profile and more comfortable clothing fit. The results are potentially permanent, provided weight remains stable. Even with future weight changes, treated areas are less likely to become disproportionately large.
