Improvements from San Diego Liposuction
Don't think of liposuction in San Diego as a weight loss method – it's designed to fine-tune your body contours. You should be at or close to your ideal weight when you undergo the procedure. While everyone's body holds onto fat differently, common areas women and men from San Diego and La Jolla improve with liposuction:
- Legs, including inner thighs, behind the knees, and saddle bags on the outer thighs
- Abdomen, including the tummy bulge and waist
- Chest, especially on men
- Double chin and neck
Many patients in San Diego choose liposuction to compliment the results of other cosmetic procedures including tummy tuck, face lift, and breast reduction surgery. At your private consultation, Dr. Chaffoo will ask you to describe your cosmetic goals, answer your questions, and design a combination of procedures customized to you.
How It Works
Near San Diego, Dr. Chaffoo performs tumescent liposuction by first injecting the treatment areas with a large volume of tumescent solution to control pain, inhibit bleeding, and saturate the tissue. This process facilitates your comfort both during and after the procedure. He then inserts a thin, hollow tube, called a cannula, to break up and suction the unwanted fat out of the body.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, patients can experience mild bruising, swelling, and soreness for a few weeks. Although you should be able to return to work within just a few days, take care to avoid activities that place strain on the body for at least 2 weeks. The improvements from San Diego liposuction will be immediately noticeable. You can maintain your slimmer, sculpted shape for years and years by keeping up your sensible diet and regular exercise routine.
