Liposuction

Dr. Rady Rahban performs liposuction at his Beverly Hills practice to remove persistent fat deposits from the thighs, abdomen, flanks, arms, neck, back, hips, waist, inner knee, chest, cheeks, chin, calves, and ankles that have not responded to diet and exercise. Consultations are approximately one hour to assess candidacy and map treatment zones. The procedure is not a treatment for obesity but is highly effective for localised, anatomically stubborn adiposity in patients who are otherwise near their target weight and in good health.

Liposuction (lipoplasty) at Rady Rahban MD in Beverly Hills is a surgical fat-reduction procedure designed to permanently remove localised subcutaneous fat deposits in patients who are at or near their target weight but carry anatomically stubborn adiposity in specific body regions that does not respond to dietary modification or exercise. Dr. Rahban performs tumescent liposuction as the standard technique: the target zones are infiltrated with a tumescent solution — a dilute mixture of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine — prior to aspiration. The epinephrine component causes local vasoconstriction, substantially reducing intraoperative blood loss; the lidocaine provides local anesthesia that persists into the recovery period, reducing immediate post-operative discomfort; and the fluid volume causes the fat to swell and firm, making it easier to sculpt with precision and reducing the risk of contour irregularities. Small stab incisions — typically 3 to 4 mm — are placed in inconspicuous locations within skin folds or natural creases, through which a narrow cannula is introduced and used to break up and aspirate the fat lobules. The range of anatomical sites treated at the Beverly Hills practice is comprehensive: the abdomen (upper and lower), flanks and love handles, waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, saddlebag region, inner knee, arms (brachial fat), back and bra-line rolls, submental (under-chin) and anterior neck, jowls and cheeks, chest (including male gynecomastia fat), calves, and ankles. Multi-zone liposuction procedures — addressing the abdomen, flanks, and waist in a single session — are common and efficient for patients with a broader sculpting goal. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia at the on-site AAAASF-accredited Lasky Drive Surgery Center and is an outpatient (same-day discharge) procedure. Patients wear a compression garment continuously for the first two weeks and intermittently thereafter; most resume desk work within a week; swelling resolves progressively over two to four months; and the final contour result is fully apparent at six months. Liposuction by Dr. Rahban is positioned as a contouring procedure — a complement to a healthy lifestyle, not a weight-loss intervention — and candidacy is assessed at an approximately one-hour pre-operative consultation at the Beverly Hills office.
