What Are The Benefits of Liposuction?

During your consultation, triple board-certified plastic surgeon Raffi Hovsepian, M.D., will talk you through everything you might need to know about the liposuction procedure and will answer any questions you might have. Choosing liposuction with Dr. Hovsepian can help target those stubborn areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, offering solutions for body contouring and a more sculpted appearance. As a provider of some of the best liposuction in Beverly Hills, Dr. Hovsepian tailors each procedure to your unique goals and anatomy. Some of the common trouble spots that can be treated with liposuction include:

  • Correcting problem areas resulting from heredity, pregnancy, or weight loss
  • Removing saggy or lumpy patches of fat
  • Results in the permanent removal of fat cells
  • Emphasizing a tighter, firmer, and more flattering body silhouette

What Area can Liposuction Treat?

Tight, firm body contours show off the results of your healthy habits, but in some cases, even regular exercise and good nutrition are not enough to correct areas of excess fat.

The “Shrink-Wrap” Liposuction Technique

This revolutionary procedure, pioneered by Dr. Raffi Hovsepian, reduces one’s size by removing and melting stubborn fat, while at the same time inducing collagen retraction, skin tightening, and overall tissue shrinkage. This process safely removes fat with tiny incisions, allowing for minimal downtime, thanks to a fat-melting and skin-tightening laser technology that's been FDA-approved and provides astounding results. With Shrink-Wrap Liposuction, once the fat cells are destroyed, they're gone forever!

For larger areas of fat, and for patients who want to correct the unsightly effects of weight loss or pregnancy, Dr. Hovsepian may recommend an approach that will integrate a tummy tuck or body lift procedure for a more complete tightening of the excess skin. This enables you to address stubborn pockets of extra fat while also going that extra step to leave you looking toned and fit once the procedure is over. During your consultation, Dr. Hovsepian will talk to you about his process for liposuction in Beverly Hills and your various options.

Trusted among patients for his refined aesthetic sense and high standards of surgical accuracy, Dr. Raffi Hovsepian has a passion for achieving the best liposuction results for every patient, from "straightforward" cases to some of the most challenging. In your body contouring consultation, he will take into account factors such as past weight fluctuations or multiple pregnancies and develop a surgical plan that’s fully customized around your personal goals.

Liposuction in Beverly Hills

Lipo Preparation

You’ll need to begin fasting about eight hours before you arrive at our Beverly Hills surgical center for your procedure. This means you cannot eat or drink anything at all during this period, including chewing gum or drinking water. If Dr. Hovsepian has instructed you to take any medications in the morning, you are permitted to do so with a few sips of water.

The Procedure

At Dr. Hovsepian's clinic in Beverly Hills, liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. Your surgery will be an outpatient procedure, but some patients prefer an overnight stay. Out-of-town patients may stay in a nearby aftercare facility or hotel, where a "private duty" nurse is available. This ensures you receive the highest level of care and comfort during recovery.

Liposuction FAQs:

When can I start to be active after my liposuction procedure?

You can start light activities, like walking, within 24-48 hours after your liposuction. More strenuous activities, including exercise, should be avoided for about 2-3 weeks, depending on Dr. Hovsepian's advice and your recovery progress.

When can I go back to school or work?

Most patients can return to non-strenuous work or school within 7-10 days after liposuction. If your job involves physical activity, you might need to wait longer, around 2 weeks, to ensure proper healing.

How long will the liposuction procedure last?

The duration of liposuction depends on the size and number of areas being treated. Typically, the procedure takes between 1 to 3 hours, with smaller areas taking as little as 30 minutes.

How many lipo treatments are required?

Generally, one liposuction treatment per area is sufficient, provided you maintain a stable weight post-surgery. In some cases, additional treatments might be needed for optimal results, especially if significant fat reduction is desired.

Can liposuction be used to reduce lipedema fat?

Yes! Liposuction is often used to manage lipedema symptoms, which involve painful, fibrous fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Specialized care with Dr. Hovsepian is essential.

Are you able to do multiple areas at once, or one area at a time?

Yes, multiple areas can be treated in a single session. Most surgeons limit the procedure to 3-4 areas per session, with a total fat removal of no more than 6-8 pounds to ensure patient safety and effective recovery.

Is liposuction effective for gynecomastia?

Yes, liposuction can be used to treat gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) by removing excess fat tissue.

How does liposuction compare to non-surgical fat reduction treatments?

Liposuction provides more immediate and dramatic fat reduction than non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting or Kybella, which take multiple sessions and gradual results.
