Liposuction

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction, sometimes simply referred to as lipo, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat to improve the contour and proportions of your body. It is used to remove fat pockets in different body parts that are resistant to diet and exercise. This results in a slimmer, contoured figure and a boost in self-confidence.

However, note that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, it is ideal for patients who are at or near their ideal body weight but are struggling with areas of stubborn fat. Many areas of the body can be treated with liposuction, but the most commonly treated areas include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, back, and under the chin.

At Eko Plastic Surgery, we offer this procedure to the residents of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, CA, and surrounding areas.

Am I a Candidate?

You may be eligible for liposuction if you are in good overall health, close to your ideal weight, and have firm skin with enough elasticity to adapt post-surgery. This procedure suits adults over 18 who don’t smoke and can maintain a consistent regimen after surgery. If you’ve been searching for “liposuction near me,” Dr. Eko can help determine if this approach fits your needs.

What Is the Liposuction Procedure Like?

Multiple liposuction techniques are available, and Dr. Eko considers your specific treatment goals to determine the best treatment for you. We use the smallest incisions possible to minimize the recovery period and scarring with all liposuction procedures. Once incisions are made, Dr. Eko uses a small metal tube, called a cannula, to remove fat from the desired treatment areas. The duration of your liposuction treatment will vary depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

What Is the Recovery Like After Liposuction?

After a liposuction procedure, you can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treatment area. These effects can last a few weeks but will heal significantly in the first week following treatment. Patients may need to take time off from work and other activities to ensure a smooth recovery. Compression garments may be necessary during the recovery process.
