Lipocontouring is the most requested procedure by patients. This procedure allows for the selective removal of undesirable fat. Dr. Broujerdi uses the latest technology, his artistic eye, and training to remove the right amount of body fat from the right areas, to create a natural youthful contour to the body. Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.

Lipocontouring may be applied to virtually most part of the body, thus allowing a new person to be sculpted from the old. With the latest techniques in fat removal, patients can rapidly appreciate their newly sculpted self with minimal or limited discomfort and recovery time. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.

Liposuction can be applied to these body parts:

• Inner and outer Thighs
• Hips and buttocks
• Abdomen and waist
• Upper arms
• Back
• Inner knee
• Chest area
• Cheeks, chin and neck
• Calves and ankles

In some cases, liposuction can be performed alone or in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, arm lift, thigh lift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite, the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks, or loose saggy skin.

You are a good candidate for liposuction if:

• You are physically healthy
• You have lost weight
• You have realistic expectations
• You are bothered by the feeling that your body contour out of proportion
• You are willing to go through some downtime
• You have made a permanent change in lifestyle

Your surgery will be preformed as an outpatient surgery, 23 hours or longer admission at an accredited ambulatory surgical center or hospital. This will depend on how much fat is being removed. Dr. Broujerdi prefers patients to spend at least one night at a private nursing facility hotel in Beverly Hills or in the hospital depending on your health status. This will be determined by Dr. Broujerdi and your primary care physician. Our professional office staff will assist you with post surgical care information.  You should expect a minimum of two weeks of down time after this procedure, some patient will require longer healing period. You should stay away from strenuous activity for several months after your surgery to allow complete healing internally as well as externally.
