Dr. Grover Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to improve the size and shape of your body. During liposuction a tube and vacuum device are used to remove the excess fat and skin stored within the body. Liposuction can be performed in many places on the body from the stomach to the buttocks and other place with excess skin. This plastic surgery procedure can take anywhere from 1 hour to several hours. It is dependant on the exact procedure being performed, and what you are trying to accomplish. For more information on Liposuction procedures, visit Dr. Grover to set up your personal consultation.

The Mommy Makeover

After having children, many women find themselves at an impasse. The physical effects of childbirth on a a woman’s body lead to stretched breasts, sagging or bulging stomachs, more weight on the hips and thighs. The muscles of the abdominal wall stretch apart, and the bulge of the lower tummy can not be fixed with diet and exercise alone. Dr. Grover provides excellent cosmetic surgery to recent mothers to restore their womanly figure after they have children.

Orange County Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Can Liposuction alone get rid of my belly roll?

Liposuction is an excellent way to achieve body contouring for patients. The ideal patient has mild to moderate excess fatty tissue with excellent skin elasticity. Many patients following childbirth may not be ideally suited to liposuction alone of the abdomen as they may have excess, lax skin with separation of the abdominal muscles.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – How can I get six-pack abs?

One can achieve ‘six pack’ abs on their own if they are able to get their body fat content low enough. Some patients, however, require some assistance with liposuction. Etching can be performed, but can also leave unacceptable depressions and scarring.

Orange County Plastic Surgery – Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Should I lose weight before liposuction surgery?

There is no correct answer to this. Liposuction is ideal for the patient who has achieved a stable weight with a balanced level of diet and exercise. Liposuction is ideal to contour certain areas of excess fatty deposits. It is not appropriate to try to remove every single fat cell with Liposuction as this will give an undesireable result.

Orange County Cosmetic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Orange County Body Sculpting: Differences between Liposuction, Liposculpture, Liposelection

All of these terms are used for marketing.  Some prefer to use liposuction, liposculpture, microliposuction, liposelection etc.  Medicine, like many other things, is also a business and plastic surgeons will use different terms to help ‘market’ their technique.  Ultimately, the result will depend on the surgeon.  There are different modalities that can assist a surgeon, such as:  Power-assisted liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, laser assisted ‘liposuction”, radio frequency etc.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Does Aspiration Assist in Smart Liposuction?

It is my understanding that some surgeons in Europe will perform SmartLipo without post procedure aspiration.  It is also my understanding that in the United States, the FDA clearance for SmartLipo includes that the procedure is followed by aspiration and not to be done alone.  Many surgeons will perform liposuction of the inner thighs in a patient with adequate skin elasticity.

Newport Beach Cosmetic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Newport Beach Liposuction is Best Option for Ankle and Calf Contouring

Consider liposuction for contouring of the calves and ankles. Liposuction of the calves and ankles can be achieved with Power Assisted Liposuction, Vaser or traditional hand assisted liposuction. Swelling will usually be a bit more severe in these areas.

Orange County Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Advantages to Liposuction vs. SmartLipo

Many new trends exist for liposuction. Ultimately, you can get wonderful results with any technique, but be careful, because you can also get less than satisfactory results with any technique. Firstly, I would submit to you to try and seek liposuction with a Board Certified plastic surgeon, certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.  A good place to start is at surgery.org, the website for The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.  Ask your surgeon if they feel they perform their liposuction with smart lipo/laser assistance only or do they also employ some form of ‘true’ liposuction along with it to aspirate the fat.  Some surgeons will first perform some form of traditional liposuction first and then introduce the smart lipo probe under the skin to try and heat up the skin to try and get better skin contraction.  The jury is still out….but being investigated.
