What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure to remove unwanted fat. Also called lipo or liposculpture, this treatment can slim your physique, enhance your contours, and improve the appearance of your silhouette. 

If you have stubborn pockets of fat on your abdomen, arms, hips, flanks, or thighs, liposuction can remove these unwanted deposits in one day. New Elite Medical Clinic of California has two in-house liposuction specialists who can tailor your treatment to meet your needs. The clinic offers multiple types of liposuction for your needs.

Are there different types of liposuction?

New Elite Medical Clinic of California offers two types of liposuction:

Vaser liposuction

Vaser liposuction is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive way to remove excess body fat. The team uses ultrasound technology to emulsify (melt) the fat tissue so that it’s easily removable.

Smartlipo

Smartlipo is similar to Vaser, but instead of using ultrasound technology, it uses laser energy to emulsify and remove fat deposits.

Who is a candidate for liposuction?

Liposuction can address a wide range of concerns in men and women alike. Candidates for liposuction typically:

• Are within a healthy weight range
• Do not smoke
• Are in good general health
• Have stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise

Having realistic expectations and committing to a healthy lifestyle after the procedure are essential factors in achieving successful liposuction outcomes.

How can I prepare for liposuction?

New Elite Medical Clinic of California provides personalized preprocedure instructions to help you prepare for liposuction. These instructions may include:

• Avoiding blood-thinning medications
• Taking Arnica tablets to reduce bruising
• Limiting alcohol consumption
• Quitting smoking
• Maintaining a stable weight
• Adjusting certain medications

The team also recommends arranging aftercare, such as transportation, time off work, and comfortable clothing.

Will I need anesthesia for liposuction?

Liposuction at New Elite Medical Clinic of California doesn’t require general anesthesia. You don’t have to recover at an inpatient facility or stay overnight at the hospital. Instead, the team uses a local anesthetic to prevent pain and keep you comfortable. Local anesthesia wears off quickly, so downtime after your outpatient treatment is minimal.

Liposuction can help you achieve your aesthetic goals without disrupting your life. Call New Elite Medical Clinic of California today or schedule an appointment online to learn more.
