Liposuction: Liposculpture

Posted on Apr 09, 2014 at

The liposuction procedure is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States. Many Beverly Hills men and women are unable to shed unwanted fat with diet and exercise alone and will seek out liposuction to have the contours of their body refined to meet their desires. Dr. Tahernia will selectively remove fat from the body that is loosely attached, leaving nerves, blood vessels and skin mostly intact.

If you are unhappy with stubborn fat located on your face, neck, abdomen, buttocks or other trouble starts, Dr. Tahernia would be happy to meet with you and discus your liposuction options. Call our office to set up your consultation at 310-614-9701, or you can request your appointment online.

Liposuction Techniques:

There are a variety of different techniques that are used for liposuction. Dr. Tahernia will discuss with you which technique is best to meet your cosmetic aesthetic goals. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages over each other, but Dr. Tahernia will ensure that you can make an informed decision. Some liposuction techniques include:

Tumescent Liposuction – This liposuction technique uses a dilute local anesthetic solution that is composed of lidocaine and epinephrine which can treat the fat regions before the liposuction is performed. As the tumescent solution acts as an anesthetic, there is no need for general anesthesia making this procedure safer over traditional liposuction. This procedure also minimizes the amount of blood loss as the epinephrine in the solution constricts blood vessels temporarily.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) – PAL uses a vibrating cannula tio that can gently break up fat and suction it away in one step making it a more efficient liposuction technique. The fact that the cannula is vibrating also allows for it to easily move through fatty layers using a minimal amount of force. Dr. Tahernia can use the more efficient method giving him more precision and control, while allowing him to focus on sculpting a beautiful figure.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction – Using a small laser, Dr. Tahernia is able to melt away unwanted fat. Often times, this technique is performed in conjunction with tumescent liposuction for optimal results. The small laser allows for a higher accuracy and also allows for a Dr. Tahernia to treat hard to reach places.
