Advanced Body Sculpting in San Francisco

Liposuction is an ideal procedure for San Francisco men and women who are fit and trim but have stubborn fat deposits. This surgical technique removes fat cells permanently, providing patients with a more sculpted physique that diet and exercise cannot achieve.

Understanding Fat Distribution and Removal

Fat cell distribution is genetically determined and cannot be changed through traditional diet and exercise. Liposuction offers a targeted solution for removing these resistant fat deposits in specific body areas.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

• Close to ideal body weight
• In good overall health
• Have realistic expectations
• Non-smokers
• Psychologically prepared for the procedure

Procedure Details

The liposuction process involves minimal incisions and precise fat cell removal using a specialized cannula connected to a suction pump. Anesthesia options vary based on the procedure's extent, ranging from local anesthetic to general anesthesia.

Treatment Areas

Common treatment areas for women include the chin, hips, thighs, waist, abdomen, and breast areas. Men typically target fat deposits under the chin, around the waist, and in cases of gynecomastia.

Important Considerations

Liposuction supplements healthy lifestyle choices and is not a weight loss surgery. The final result depends on skin elasticity and the patient's ability to maintain results through diet and exercise.

Recovery and Side Effects

Patients may experience temporary bruising, numbness, and soreness, typically subsiding within one to two weeks. Proper post-operative care ensures optimal healing and results.
