Liposuction

The incisions made during liposuction vary in length and depth depending on the amount of fat to be removed, but they are typically extremely small. Dr. Marshall works hard to hide these incisions and to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues, which will promote less scarring and faster healing. Be sure to discuss all of your concerns regarding this issue during an initial consultation.

When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, CA, liposuction offers long-lasting results and helps you achieve your desired shape. Weight gain does affect outcomes, so patients should maintain a consistent diet and exercise plan after treatment. Our aesthetic team can offer tips and advice for maintaining your appearance long-term.

You should not engage in strenuous exercise or activities for at least 4 weeks after liposuction surgery. If you feel pain, stop and allow the treated area to heal before continuing your routine. Dr. Marshall and our team request that patients refrain from physical activity until they have fully recovered from their procedure.

There are several nonsurgical procedures to reduce body fat. Although some of these nonsurgical procedures can help some patients reduce small amounts of fat, surgical liposuction is best for most people. Liposuction surgery delivers more consistent and dramatic results. Ask Dr. Marshall about nonsurgical liposuction in your consultation. He can explain the benefits and drawbacks of both methods and help you decide which is best for you.

Liposuction surgery only addresses excess fat in the body. If you have loose skin, Dr. Marshall may recommend combining liposuction with skin tightening technologies or surgical skin removal. Liposuction is often performed with skin-tightening surgery, such as a tummy tuck, thighplasty, or arm lift, to achieve the best results. For cellulite, there are many minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatments, such as AVELI. In your consultation, talk to Dr. Marshall about your concerns, like cellulite and loose skin, so your best treatment plan can be developed.

Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to fall into a deep sleep and enjoy a painless, stress-free procedure. After surgery, Dr. Marshall will prescribe oral painkillers to help relieve discomfort or soreness in the targeted areas of the body.

Liposuction requires a series of appointments with Dr. Marshall in Los Angeles. In combination with your preliminary consultation and surgery date, you will return for several follow-up visits, allowing the doctor to ensure an optimal, seamless healing process.

While subtle improvements in your body’s contours will emerge within 3-4 weeks after your Los Angeles liposuction appointment, your full results usually become evident within 3-6 months. Up until this point, residual swelling may temporarily obscure your newly sculpted curves.

Scarring with liposuction is minimal, as Dr. Marshall carefully places your incisions in the fine folds and creases of the body where they are inconspicuous and easy to conceal.

Dr. Marshall typically suggests waiting 4-6 weeks before resuming workouts after lipo in Los Angeles. However, you can take short, gentle walks right away after treatment, which helps to maximize circulation, prevent certain complications, and elevate your overall mood.

Yes, definitely. Dr. Marshall can pair liposuction with a tummy tuck, Brazilian Butt Lift, mommy makeover, arm lift, body lift, or another cosmetic option of your choosing. During your introductory session in Los Angeles, the doctor will lay out your options, and together you can design the best treatment plan for meeting your goals.

Dr. Marshall is dedicated to patient safety and works with today’s most sophisticated surgical techniques to minimize risks, discomfort, and recovery time. However, all aesthetic treatments carry certain risks. With liposuction, risks include:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Bleeding
• Poor reactions to anesthesia
• Asymmetry

To choose the best surgeon for your liposuction procedure in Los Angeles, you will first need to spend some time researching each potential provider’s background, including their training credentials, board certifications, specialized skills, patient testimonials, and results. The next step is to meet in person. This gives invaluable insight into whether working together feels like a good fit. Dr. Marshall invites you to book an introductory appointment with him in Beverly Hills so he can answer your questions and explain his detailed, precision-oriented approach to care.
