Orange County Liposuction doctors

The results that you will get with liposuction will be determined by the sureons ability, not the type of procedure that you choose.  The skin incision should be monitored to be sure that you heel well, but the end results for the liposuction will be determined by the surgeon's expertise and you following your surgeons post operative care.  Good luck!

Tummy tuck will address the appearance of the front of the abdomen. Liposuction is added to the procedure when the flanks or love handles appear full. If your flanks are not full then liposuction is not required.  When liposuction is done in an area the number of fat cells is reduced. Fat cells have a large storage capacity and so weight gain will still occur in these preferred storage areas. Body contouring surgery does not make future weight loss harder and fat cells do not redistribute. More commonly contour irregularities in the area of liposuction will become obvious with significant weight gain.

The ideal BMI for all body contouring procedures is as close to 25 as you can get. Complications increase when the BMI is 30 and with the most significant complications occurring when BMI is over 35.

Discuss these concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this was helpful

I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience with liposuction! While liposuction is considered a “simple” procedure, it has risks that are often underestimated. Contour irregularities (or dents, lumpiness) can occur, and improvement typically requires fat grafting to certain areas, and possibly additional liposuction to others. It really depends on what you look like now, and how long it has been since your last surgery. Sometimes correction of lumps and dents can require more than one surgery, and a fee of $7000 is actually not high at all for revisional surgery. It is important to know there are limits to how much fat can be taken out with liposuction, and still have a good result. Dents and irregularities happen when either too much is taken out, or fat is taken too close to the skin. You need some fat, even if it’s a thin layer, to keep a nice smooth contour. It is there for a reason, and not every fat droplet should be removed. It can be difficult to fix, but there is hope. If you don’t feel comfortable with the two surgeons you have consulted with, you can always seek out a third opinion, or post photos with your questions to get a more detailed answer online. I would recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for this type of procedure, and ask if he or she has experience with revision liposuction.
