Sacramento Liposuction
Choosing Liposuction
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that sculpts the body by removing fat cells from specific areas - usually the abdomen, hips, thighs, chin, and buttocks. With liposuction, many patients have improved the contours of their body.

Candidates for Liposuction
It is important to note that no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise. Liposuction removes stubborn areas of fat that have not responded to traditional weight loss methods; it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The ideal Sacramento liposuction patient is at a normal weight and has pockets of excess fat in certain areas.
Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon
The time required to perform liposuction may vary considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of anesthesia, and the technique used.
Recovery
Recovery from liposuction usually takes seven to 10 days, though patients will be asked to wear compression garments for six weeks following the procedure.
Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with other procedures in order to increase their effectiveness. It's a popular choice for Sacramento tummy tuck patients, as well as women having a breast lift or breast augmentation in the Sacramento area to enhance and contour the entire body.
