Because this procedure is so common, and the techniques for performing it are changing quickly, Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery has developed a specialized “center within a center” focusing solely on liposculpture. LipoPlus combines state of the art equipment, specialized staff training, and advanced technology to create the best possible liposculpture results and customized recovery programs.

Our medical director was recently selected to write the chapter on liposculpture for the Handbook of Plastic Surgery. This important textbook was written to train other plastic surgeons in the latest techniques of cosmetic surgery.

The most common areas treated with liposculpture and liposuction include the neck, chin, abdomen, “love handles”, hips, thighs and calves. Many men undergo the procedure to the chest area, to treat excess fat of the male breast found in a syndrome called “gynecomastia.”

During the liposuction procedure, fluid is injected into the fat. This allows for easier sculpting of the tissues, and also introduces anesthetic and a medicine to constrict blood vessels to minimize bleeding.  Multiple small incisions are made in areas of natural skin folds to minimize scarring, and small hollow tubes are inserted under the skin to suction out fat. At LipoPlus, we use techniques individualized to your specific needs. Some of these techniques include microliposculpture,beverly hills liposculpture tumescent liposculpture, ultrasound assisted-liposculpture, and los angeles cosmetic surgery, power-assisted liposculpture.
