Benefits of Liposculpture Under Local Anesthesia vs General Anesthesia

by Rod Davis, PA-C

Director of Surgery, Pacific Liposculpture

Liposculpture under local anesthesia is the safest way to have liposuction. However, there are some people who may find it more uncomfortable than most other patients. I once performed a procedure on a patient who shared with me (after starting her procedure) that she always has difficulty when going to her dentist and requires multiple injections of the anesthetic to complete her dental procedures. Such people are commonly referred to as “lidocaine resistant” and may have a more comfortable experience if they were under general anesthesia (sleeping). However, general anesthesia is less safe and much more expensive. There were a handful of times when we stopped for a few minutes to add extra anesthetic during this person’s procedure but this is expected. She was still able to complete her procedure and even drive herself home afterwards. She scheduled another procedure in our office immediately afterwards : )

Many members of our staff, including myself, have had a lipoosculpture procedure. Most patients anticipate that lipo will not be a completely pain-free event for every patient but neither is laser hair removal, waxing, Botox, dental procedures, etc. So like many other procedures, one should have some expectation of momentary discomfort but most patients are pleasantly surprised.

The numbing phase tends to be the only uncomfortable part but normally just last for 5-10 minutes. Anyone can view website videos of actual patients having the same procedure that this person had but they are clearly comfortable and experiencing no pain while having their problem areas reshaped. Please visit Pacific Lipo's YouTube Channel to see patients having a procedure.

As for the incisions, we do not use stitches which allows for a couple of days of drainage (lessens swelling and bruising). Therefore, the incisions are still a little stretched immediately following the procedure. They normally heal about the size of a freckle and sometimes fade significantly but that takes some time. The incisions do shrink, bruising does fade, and the discomfort usually passes after a 2-6 weeks. To view before and photos of what incisions and results may look like immediately after our procedures (1 week later, 1 month, and several months after) , please visit www.PacificLipo.com.

Pacific Lipo's Free Lipo Winner Announcement

It is our goal at Pacific Lipo to help patients achieve a new image that reshapes the way they live. Each day in our office we see happy patients who are thankful for the work we’ve done. They share their personal stories with us about how liposculpture has had a positive impact on their lives. Pacific Lipo is extremely fortunate and grateful for having such great friends and clients. 

To say thank you, we would like to give back - Pacific Lipo offered a second free lipo 

contest. Our Director of Surgery and lipo specialist, Rod Davis, PA-C, has helped thousands of people reshape the way they live and we would love to help more.

Pacific Lipo is excited to announce that we will be helping Candy reshape the way she lives as our 2nd Free Lipo Winner! Candy's best friend and partner in crime, Robin, entered her into our first Free Lipo contest. The two of them have put in a significant amount of effort to get Candy's name out there.

Candy, we're glad you were patient and participated in our second contest, I'm sure the prize is worth the wait!

My Story For Free Lipo - Candy Blanchard My name is Robin Dial. The person that I hope you consider to receive free liposuction is my best friend, Candy Blanchard. I felt compelled to enter this contest because I am the only family and friend that she has supporting her at this time. I've known Candy for 18 years. In all the years I've known Candy, she has struggled with her weight. Because of these struggles, her self-esteem has suffered tremendously. She doesn't even want to leave the house. I've watched her torment herself going from personal trainers and gym memberships to overdosing on diet pills, starving herself, and considering hardcore drugs/substance abuse, then feeding her depression with obsessive eating. This has taken a toll on her mentally and physically and has affected her social life even amongst the people who care for her the most. Always feeling self-conscious and choosing to miss out on the joys of life that she so desperately needs. Candy’s weight issues stem back to her childhood. I have heard many heart wrenching stories about the drama she endured. She has always been the only one overweight in her family and was ridiculed and teased by her own family members and in school. As she grew older, she developed at a young age and dealt with being sexually harassed by her stepfather, and because her mother did not believe her, she ran away from home at the age of 13. From that point on, her weight gain became even more out of control. I have been a witness to this deterioration of her body, mind and spirit and know that she needs and deserves an opportunity like this to turn her life around. I took it upon myself to enter her into this contest because she has been there for me through thick and thin by helping me care for my mother who was dying of lung cancer. She was a big part of getting me through the grieving process after my mom eventually passed away. Candy continuously puts others before herself; despite her own personal unhappiness. There is no one more deserving of this opportunity than my best friend Candy Blanchard. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Robin Dial 

Pass the Military Body Fat Tape Test - Military Lipo

MILITARY TURNS TO LIPOSCULPTURE

Marine Immediately After Liposculpture

Having trouble with your Fitness Measurements? It is no secret that the military is making significant cut backs in personnel.  According to the Army Times, the Army alone will be cutting 80,000 soldiers over the next 5 years.  A quick and easy way of elimination is done by the body fat tape test.  

Liposculpture can help you meet your requirements and maximize your PFT. 

At Pacific Lipo, we understand that genetically, some people have a difficult time losing weight in their chest, abdomen, hips, or love handles. For military personnel, this may mean a cut in responsibilities or pay, relocation, or even termination. It is common for members of the military to turn to liposculpture. This safe and effective procedure can trim body fat quickly to help you meet measurements and perform better.

“Experience and reputation matter”, says Rod Davis, Director of Surgery, PA-Certified, of Pacific Lipo. “That’s why we are one of the top lipo centers in California.”   Davis has performed over 15,000 lipo procedures and is considered an expert in his field.  He specializes in lipo and has a track record of helping each one of his military patients get their body within the required measurements.  To view before and after pictures of Davis’s patients, refer to Pacific Lipo’s Photo Gallery.

Liposculpture is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime. Results can be seen immediately and are permanent. The incisions are tiny so they are barely noticeable once healed. Procedures take less than 2 hours and you can even drive yourself home.

Consultations with our Director of Surgery (Rod Davis, PA-Certified) are complimentary and the prices are All-Inclusive.

Call today for a FREEconsultation at (858) 427-8899 or complete a virtual consultation.

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would.  Rod is a genius at what he does.  I got my love handles and chest done. As a male I found it very taboo to ever talk about or even get something like this done.  I am so glad I finally did it.  I look and feel like a completely different person. After a couple days I am back to work.  The bruising and pain isn't bad at all.   I wish I had this done 15 years ago!!  The staff is awesome.  They always make you feel comfortable. I will assure you I have done my research and I have no doubt that there isn't anybody that does the quality work that Rod does at the prices that he offers.  His work is worth 10x what he charges.” – Nick F. from San Diego, CA

My Story for Free Lipo - Dawn Klasen

Pacific Lipo is happy to announce Dawn Klasen as our winner for the free lipo contest!  Dawn had first inquired about the lipo procedure in January of 2012.  She was set and ready to come in, but found out exciting news that required her to postpone the procedure.  An active mother of 3, she has struggled to get her body back to a shape that lets her feel good about herself despite her regular exercise and Zumba activities.  Dawn works hard to provide for her family and reached out to Pacific Lipo during the Free Lipo contest hoping that she could finally treat herself.  Dawn, we are happy to help you reshape the way you live!

Chin Liposculpture - Change Of Face

Diet and exercise play a heavy role in the features of our face, but for some of us, doing everything right still cannot achieve the results we are looking for. Getting a much smoother and more defined jaw line with chin liposculpture can truly make a world of difference for your face and you won't have to bother with painful injections or other artificial enhancers.

At Pacific Liposcuplture, our advanced liposculpture procedure can significantly improve unsightly neck rolls, bulging jowls or double chins. If you want to look younger, thinner, or have a more defined jaw line, Pacific Liposculpture is right for you.

This procedure usually takes less than 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia so you will more than likely be able to drive yourself home. Most patients are also able to return to work in just a few days – and your coworkers will marvel at your improved appearance without knowing you had any work done.

"I would never even consider going anywhere else.  Rod Davis is the best in the world of lipo.  I first saw him for removal of my double chin--the results were amazing!  The same weekend, I got a perm, and when I returned to work, some of my co-workers did not even recognize me!  One of my managers came over to introduce herself to me, thinking that I was a new employee! " 

-Nancy

The chin is one of the most exciting procedures for us at Pacific Lipo, the results are so dramatic and life changing - we love to see our patients glowing with happiness when we see them back in for their follow up appointments.  View more Before and After pictures of the chin procedure at www.pacificlipo.com.
