Preparation for Liposuction Procedure

There were no surprises and Rod put me at ease with his outstanding bedside manner. It has been almost a month since my procedure and the office staff and Rod have been outstanding with guiding me through the healing process. They are very supportive and are there for me whenever I call with a question.

-Jay S. from San Diego, CA

Preparation for your procedure is quite simple.  At your consultation you will have the opportunity to learn about liposculpture and if this procedure is right for you.  Our patients are provided with a list of products to avoid prior to their procedure; following this list can help your healing and recovery process. Since liposculpture is a minimally invasive procedure most people will not need any lab tests or blood work.  However, any patient 50 years and older will be asked to get a medical clearance from their primary physician prior to having a procedure.

On the day of the procedure, you are able to eat a light meal, drink fluids, and even wear makeup.  Loose fitting clothing is the best attire to wear on the day of your procedure so that you are comfortable afterwards.  If you happen to bring a friend or family member with you, we will accommodate them with a private room where they may relax until your procedure has been completed and you are ready to go home.

Consults are free and offer you the opportunity to learn what this procedure can do for you.

• Patients are provided with a list of products to avoid.
• Eat a light meal the day of your procedure.
• Wear loose fitting and comfortable clothes.
• Comfortable accommodations available if a friend or family member accompanies you.

Do My Knees Make Me Look Fat?

Inner Knee Lipo

Rod is a perfectionist and I can't tell enough people how happy I am with my new thighs, I only wish I had met him 10 years ago! The procedure only took 2 hours out of my day and has changed my life forever.

If you are bothered by the fatty bulge on the inside of your knees?

You are not alone.  The inner knee is another area that is near impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. This isolated area can accumulate a pocket of fat and may give the appearance of "chunky" thighs or knees. Removing the stubborn fat from this area can have a large impact on the leg's overall appearance. 

The inner knee liposculpture procedure takes approximately 60-90 minutes to complete and is often combined with inner thigh liposculpture for smoother, slender legs.

LASER LIPOSUCTION

Choosing the right technique - Is laser lipo the right choice for you?

In our increasingly beauty obsessed society, it seems like more of us are choosing to seek out cosmetic surgery to improve any flaws (whether real or perceived). Of these cosmetic procedures, one of the most popular is Laser Liposuction (also knows as Laser Lipo, Smart Lipo, Lunchtime Lipo, or Vaser Laser).

Laser Liposuction involves the use of a laser to "melt away" fatty deposits and then tightens the surrounding skin.  This technique was first discovered in Europe and has recently become FDA approved for use in the U.S.  Laser liposuction has been used for the past 10 years in South America, Europe, and Asia.  The procedure is typically done in an office setting and does not require the use of a general anesthetic.  A very small cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin.  The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser's energy to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away.  The fluid released from the fat cells is removed by the body's natural waste system.  The laser also causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, thus resulting in less bleeding and bruising. 

Some liposuctionists report that one of the advantages of laser liposuction is the fact that the probability of scarring, muscle damage, or pain tends to be smaller than more traditional liposuction methods.  As a result, the patient is usually able to return to work within 48-hours.  One of the disadvantages of laser liposuction is that it may only be useful on a limited variety of body areas.  These body parts include the neck, face, and arms.  Some patients do not report a dramatic enough in their shapes or skin tightening following laser liposuction is used in other areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back areas, or the love handles.  This may be due to today's lasers not being quite aggressive enough in creating a significant change in the thickness of the fat deposits for most body types.  There is also some doubt among liposuction specialists as to exactly how effective laser liposuction is when it comes to skin tightening.  That being said, laser liposuction can be an effective procedure for a small portion of liposuction candidates.

Pricing of this procedure varies a great deal depending on how much fat you want removed, which body part is being treated, or which office you seek treatment in.  Patients who are interested in this procedure should seek treatment in a facility that specializes in liposculpture.  It is much more likely that their results will be better compared to other less experienced offices and the pricing often times is more affordable.  Pricing to selecting any method of liposuction, one should contact a liposuction specialist to find out what this procedure can do for their particular problem area.

Upper, Lower Abdomen and Love Handles

Helping active, healthy people improve there shape with Liposculpture.  A local San Diego patient expresses her experience with Pacific Lipo -

I came to Pacific Lipo for help smoothing out my lower abdomen and getting rid of my love handles.  My body image means a lot to me. I work out at least 4 days a week. I do spin classes, lift weights, and eat colorful meals. I have always kept up with diet and exercise and my body just stopped responding in those areas. Rod had originally told me I did not have much to remove in my abdomen and to think about it.  Because of the great pricing and confidence I felt in Rod and the whole staff, I scheduled my procedure. The procedure was very quick and Rod made me feel comfortable the whole time.  I even had my favorite music playing in the background.  Stefani, Jasmine, Letty, Wendy, and Cristina are awesome and have been there for me every step of the way. I am a couple months post-op and couldn't be happier. My tummy is completely flat and my waistline is tiny!  Thank you Pacific Lipo! -Inaur M. from San Diego, CA
