Liposuction

Nazarian Plastic Surgery Beverly Hills offers advanced liposuction techniques including VASER ultrasonic liposuction, SmartLipo laser-assisted liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, and Lipo360 comprehensive midsection contouring. Target areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, chin, neck, back, and knees. All procedures begin with tumescent solution to minimise blood loss and discomfort, with recovery ranging from a few days for small areas to a few weeks for Lipo360. Liposuction at Nazarian Plastic Surgery is suited to candidates within 15 pounds of their goal weight seeking to address localised fat resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction at Nazarian Plastic Surgery Beverly Hills is performed using a suite of energy-assisted and conventional techniques, each selected based on the target anatomy, the volume of fat to be addressed, and whether concurrent skin tightening is a goal. VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction uses ultrasonic energy delivered through a small probe to emulsify adipose tissue before extraction, selectively disrupting fat cell membranes while preserving the surrounding connective tissue matrix, nerve fibres, and vasculature. The result is a smoother extraction with reduced blood loss compared to traditional liposuction, making VASER particularly well-suited for high-definition body sculpting where preserving fibrous septa for skin adherence is important. SmartLipo uses a laser fibre inserted through the same small cannula access points to liquefy fat with thermal energy while simultaneously delivering controlled heat to the underside of the overlying dermis — stimulating collagen contraction and new collagen production for a degree of skin tightening that supplements fat removal. This makes SmartLipo a preferred option for body areas with mild to moderate skin laxity where some skin tightening alongside fat reduction is desirable, such as the inner thighs, arms, and neck. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a vibrating cannula tip to mechanically facilitate fat extraction, reducing the physical effort required from the surgeon for large-volume cases and improving extraction consistency. Lipo360 is Nazarian Plastic Surgery's comprehensive midsection protocol that treats the full circumference of the trunk — including the anterior abdomen, the bilateral flanks, and the posterior upper and lower back — in a single operative session to achieve cohesive waist definition rather than treating each zone in isolation. All liposuction procedures begin with infiltration of tumescent solution: a large volume of dilute adrenaline (epinephrine) and local anaesthetic in saline that vasoconstricts the target tissue to minimise intraoperative blood loss, provides localised anaesthesia to reduce general anaesthetic requirements, and pre-expands the fat compartment for easier cannula movement. Ideal candidates for liposuction at Nazarian Plastic Surgery are adults within approximately 15 pounds of their goal body weight with good skin elasticity and localised fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise — liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss intervention. Post-operative recovery varies by volume and technique: smaller single-area procedures allow return to sedentary activity within a few days; Lipo360 typically requires two to three weeks before returning to light activity; compression garments are worn for four to six weeks to support contour and manage swelling. Final results are typically visible at three to six months once post-operative oedema has fully resolved.
