Laguna Niguel Liposuction Doctors and Reviews

“Living the Dream with Amazing...”

My experience was amazing. I was concerned about not taking any narcotics due to my recovery from alcoholism. I had a little pain the second day, I only took extra strength Tylenol from day two to day 7. After that I had no pain. I felt amazing and started walking on day 7. I feel better about myself, have more energy, and am enjoying my 50's! I just love my choice to have the surgery. I went... more

“Amazing Results with Professional...”

Being over 50 yrs old, I found it impossible to lose my stomach fat even with training and running 1/2 Marathons and spinning and eating healthy. This was my last resort and I'm so glad I did it. I'm very pleased with the results and am considering addtional areas to be done. The results have made my self esteem blossom and I feel more comfortable at parties since clothes fit me better. more

“Full Body Lipo Sculpture @ 57 -...”

I've wanted lipo for years! I'm 57, 5'4" 128#'s, active/workout regularly, but have never liked my thick thighs (chub rub on the inners & lumping on the outside of my hips & yes 1 side is lumpier than the other) & now that menopause has descendent upon me my waist is thickening & back fat is creeping in.

“Got my Waist Back - Orange County, CA”

I had abdomen and flank/back liposuction under tumescent anesthesia with approx 3400cc of fat removal. I had gained a lot of abdominal fat in the last 2 years and didn't really like the way my body looked in form fitting clothes. I've been a client of Dermfx Sunset Beach for some time and when I seen the lipo special by Dr. Tod Miller I knew I had to try it. Its been 2 months since the... more

“So Skinny, So Happy - Newport Beach, CA”

Living in Newport, looking pretty means almost everything. I have always been athletic and have played pretty much every sport and love being active. But I have always been a little bit on the bigger side. I just never got rid of my baby fat. Always being a little chubbier in a place where looks are important always made me feel insecure and uncomfortable. I heard about liposuction from a... more

“Shedding the Fat That Exercise Would...”

I am a male and go the the gym at least three to five days per week. No matter how much I tried, I could not lose the fat around my waist or in my breasts. At age 56, I finally decided to do something about it. Two weeks ago I took the plunge and have not looked back. So far, so good. I am really surprised at how quickly I have recovered. I look forward to seeing the results as more time... more

“Dr. Elam is the Liposuction Guru -...”

My personal liposuction experience was nothing but gratifying and I am thrilled with the results. I found my recovery to be speedy and painless. Both the Dr. and his staff are compassionate, endearing and astute professionals. My mother, two sisters and I ADORE and totally trust Dr. Elam! He is a class act. more

“Power Assisted Lipo (PAL) W/...”

After several months of consideration and research & 4 different consults, I decided to do Power Assisted Lipo (PAL) w/ Ultrasound Assisted Lipo (UAL). I was very confused about all the different kinds of lipo procedures out there and I am NOT a doctor, nor did any one I know cop up to getting lipo so I could pick their brain. I am so thankful for the people who were caring enough to share... more

“Back to my Old Self - Newport Beach, CA”

Wanted to get back to normal after two very tough pregnancies and needed some assistance with the way my body had changed. I'm 6 weeks post op and went from a size 8 to almost 4 and dropped 10 lbs!  I can't wait to have by breasts done as soon as I can find the time! more

“My New Physical Image is Now in...”

I've been sporting a "spare tire" and "man-boobs" for over ten years and I noticed that it was starting to affect my self confidence and positive outlook on life. I would curtail my social activities that required me to take my shirt off in public. I wish I had gotten the liposuction done many years ago. My favorite article of clothing to wear now is a form-fitting... more

“Dr D Kept Me in the Military -...”

To keep within the size standards in the military. I was too wide in my gut and sides. I was very nervous of doing lipo on my gut to stay in the military, but I needed to trim my gut and sides or I risked failing the standards. My results are great so I can keep defending our country.   I keep getting happier. This was a good thing for me. more

“Extremely Satisfied - Newport Beach, CA”

I decided to have liposuction just to sculpt my whole body and provide me with more of an hourglass figure. I was extremely pleased with the amount of time Dr. E spent with me and his attention to detail. I am a new mother, due to the liposuction I did not gain any extra baby weight, love handles, or saddlebags on my thighs. I still feel and look as beautiful as I did after having my... more

“Recovering and Awaiting Results -...”

Well, I just had liposuction last Wednesday (01/05) and am very anxious to see how this is going to turn out. I'm 24 years old about 5'2 and 112 pounds. I've had saddlebags and fat rolls under my butt literally since I hit puberty. Those fatty areas seem to run in my family unfortunately (thanks, Mom!). I've always been thin and relatively active but could not escape the... more

“Liposuction Eliminated my Stubborn...”

I've been fairly active for most of my life, but after 2 kids I just couldn't get rid of my baby pooch. I could lose 5 or 10 pounds, but that damn pooch remained. I met my doctor at a friend's wedding and she told me to come in for a free consultation. I was in there 4 days later. A few days later I was being sculpted with a laser! No real pain, no being knocked out, no crazy... more

“I Love my Dr! - Newport Beach, CA”

Pros about my procedure - I look better in clothes, and I feel better about myself. Cons - with any elective surgery, the cost is always a concern. But I figure I can't afford to NOT do it! Another con is the time I missed from work (very minimal) and trying to keep it a secret from my co-workers while wearing a tight fitting garment that went from under my breast down to the top of my... more

“Upper Lower Abdomen Area, Love...”

Finally I decided to do lipo on my upper and lower abdomen area, love handles and inner thighs. My surgery is scheduled on Thursday in 3 days. I'll have love handles and inner thighs area done first and in 3 weeks (my Dr said that is recommended liposuction recovery time between surgeries) I'll have abdomen area done. At first I wasn't nervous at all but as it gets closer I'm loosing my sleep. more

“My LIpo-tastic Experience on...”

I worked out with a personal trainer for 6 months and then ran and did weights for another 6 months. As a nursing student, I gained weight from eating on the go and being constantly stressed out. After the six months, I had dropped almost 20 pounds. However, my oblique/hip/back area would not lose the fat.I wanted to look as fit as I feel. And I wanted to feel rewarded for all the hard work I... more

“How to Correct Dent in Leg from Lipo”

Had thigh lipo to try to contour my legs more. I'm of normal weight, not heavy or thin. One leg ended up with a dent on the side that is very noticeable. Have had fat grafting by the doctor twice to try to fix it, but it hasn't.Do I have any other options? I can't wear a bathing suit or anything that will reveal my upper thigh because the dent looks like a leg deformity. I've even told... more

“Skin Loose After Lipo”

I had lipo on my abs. I once had a poochie soft lower ab and now it's so flat and tight, I love the results.I now have loose skin on my upper abs that fold over my bellybutton. It's not a thin fold, almost a meaty 1 inch pinch-size fold; but the Dr said its' just skin now. He suggests skin-tightening surgery now (similar to a tummy tuck). What procedure (other than "tummy tuck") can... more
