California Liposuction directory information

Liposuction surgery in the California area is offered by many local plastic surgeons, who are listed in the following unpaid directory. This directory is an unbiased resource for locating California liposuction surgeons. All California plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other doctors listed on RealSelf.com receive a free profile page and are listed according to their level of participation in the community.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that liposuction was the second most popular surgical procedure in 2007 (behind breast implants). Liposuction is not meant to be a substitute for diet or exercise, but intended for California men and women who desire spot reduction of a specific trouble area.

California plastic surgeons may perform a variety of liposuction techniques including ultrasound-assisted liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, super wet liposuction, and tumescent liposuction.

Several new brand-name devices combine traditional suction with laser or ultrasound technology to provide additional features. Some of these devices include VASER Liposelection, SmartLipo, Cool Lipo, and ProLipo.

Liposuction may not be good for people who have excessive skin laxity, since the procedure only targets extra fat. For those who need a reduction of excess skin, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be more appropriate.

Is liposuction safe?

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform liposuction in California. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

Tips for finding the right California liposuction surgeon

  1. Ask your California liposuction plastic surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
  2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
  3. What exactly can I expect during and after liposuction surgery?
  4. Are there any alternatives to liposuction that I should be aware of?
  5. May I see before and after photos of other California patients who have already had liposuction?
  6. May I speak to a current patient who has already had liposuction?

Do not commit to liposuction with a California doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
