Liposuction
What Happens When After All The Working Out...
It probably doesn't matter why the problem fat even exists in the first place (genetics); you just want it gone. It probably doesn't matter why the problem fat continues to persist despite your best efforts (it's extremely difficult to target specific areas for weight loss); you just want it gone. It probably doesn't matter if the problem fat is in the cheeks of your face, chin, neck, back, chest, upper arms, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs or ankles; you just want it gone. You probably want liposuction. It's why you're here. And, you're right, it doesn't matter, because as informed men and women from Riverside to San Diego know, liposuction can probably make the all the problem fat go away... for good.
Definitely.

... You Still Have Fat That's Impossible To Work Off?
For you, learning to live with localized deposits of fat is not an option; and, because you already enjoy a healthy lifestyle in which you eat right and exercise regularly (and you plan to keep it up), it doesn't have to be. Because, for men and women in La Jolla and San Diego, liposuction (lipoplasty) can remove localized pockets of fat, from head-to-toe.
Triple board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chaffoo has the experience and the expertise to help you to finally lose the diet and exercise-resistant fat. At your liposuction consultation in either La Jolla or Murrieta, he will share with you the body contouring options for producing a slimmer silhouette. You will learn how you are born with a predetermined number of fat cells, how genetics also determines the location, and how your lifestyle sets the size of these cells. He will also discuss in detail what to expect with your body contouring procedure including:
- The various types of lipo, including tumescent liposuction
- Anesthesia options
- Incision size and location
- Recovery, and
- Risks associated with liposuction
Here in San Diego, liposuction - also referred to as liposculpture or suction lipectomy - is safe and effective. Depending upon the amount of fat that's removed, the procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, during which Dr. Chaffoo will make a small incision through which a small tube is then inserted. As fat cells are broken up, they are suctioned out. For even further body contouring of an area such as the abs, many patients elect tummy tuck at the same time. Although you should be able to return to work within just a few days following your procedure, you should be careful to avoid those activities that place strain on the body for at least 2 weeks.
