Liposuction for San Francisco, Sacramento, and Danville Area Patients
Liposuction is a popular body contouring treatment that is most effective for fatty deposits that stubbornly resist diet and exercise. The most common liposuction areas are the thighs, hips, buttocks, face, neck, arms, and back. When desired, Dr. Chow has combined liposuction with other cosmetic surgery procedures to create a comprehensive body sculpting plan for his patients. He performs various liposuction techniques at his center serving San Francisco, Danville, Sacramento, and surrounding areas to achieve attractive, natural-looking results.
Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss — it isn't designed to remove very large amounts of subdermal fat. The purpose of liposuction is to "sculpt" the body, somewhat like a sculptor works with clay. The best candidates for liposuction are close to their optimal body weight. A patient's age is not a major deterrent to liposuction or body contouring; however, skin normally loses some of its elasticity with age, and a patient with less elasticity may not achieve the same result as someone who has firmer skin to begin with.
For additional information on liposuction, contact our San Francisco center serving Danville, Sacramento, and surrounding areas to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Albert Chow, a highly experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon.
The Liposuction Body Contouring Procedure
For those patients considering liposuction, our San Francisco practice offers a number of safe, minimally invasive treatments. These techniques ensure more precise results and quicker recovery. For those patients who are suitable candidates, external ultrasonic liposuction offers an excellent alternative to traditional liposuction. Using a highly precise hand piece, Dr. Chow is able to target specific problem areas where fatty deposits have accumulated. He then uses gentle ultrasonic energy to break down these deposits and removes them through a small, self-healing incision. By targeting these specific areas with such accuracy, Dr. Chow is able to produce liposuction results that are smoother and more natural-looking than was possible in the past.
You'll see a definite difference in the shape of the body areas that underwent liposuction very soon after the procedure. Further improvement will be apparent after a month or so, when the swelling is diminished. After three months, any mild, persistent swelling will have disappeared, and your final new contour will have established itself.
A liposuction procedure can also be combined with another body contouring technique by Dr. Chow such as abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck"). Additionally, liposuction may be combined with breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, facelift, and more depending on the unique needs of the patient.
