Benefits of Liposuction in Los Angeles
Better Contours
Liposuction removes stubborn fat pockets, defining your shape without sacrificing volume in the places you want it.
Long-Lasting
With proper diet and exercise, those unwanted fat cells will stay gone for good.
Versatile
Although the belly is the most popular treatment area, liposuction can be done almost anywhere you have stubborn fat.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that liposuction in Los Angeles is the best option, your surgery can be scheduled, and you’ll be filled in on the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
The liposuction procedure starts with an injection of tumescent anesthesia in the treatment area. This is a very diluted type of local anesthesia, which is given in large doses to fat tissue. It causes the skin to be temporarily firm or swollen, which, in turn, makes the blood vessels constrict and numbs the treatment area.
Next, your Younique provider makes a small incision in the target area and inserts a stainless steel cannula—a small, specialized tube. The provider uses the cannula to break up the adipocyte membranes and to suction out the fat cells via an attached hose and specialized vacuum apparatus.
Recovery
After the liposuction procedure, patients wear a compression garment for up to 6 weeks. Walking and nonstrenuous movements are encouraged, but wait 2 to 4 weeks for any heavy exercise.
You may experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness or tenderness at the liposuction sites for several weeks. Many patients feel like they can go back to work within a week after their liposuction in Los Angeles.

Do men also get liposuction in Los Angeles?
Men absolutely undergo liposuction! This effective, targeted fat removal technique can be utilized to emphasize a rock hard six pack and make it look even more impressive. In men as well as women, there is no way to naturally target weight loss, as exercise, diet, and other natural means remove fat from all the body, not specific areas/zones. All the ab work in the world simply won’t help if it’s hidden behind a natural veil of fatty tissue that is impossible to lose.
Liposuction is also frequently chosen to help address gynecomastia.
Will I stay slimmer after having liposuction?
Liposuction is considered a permanent treatment because it removes fat cells, and your body doesn’t grow new ones.
However, for body sculpting and size control, that will depend on your lifestyle habits. You have to keep in mind that although your body doesn’t grow new fat cells, the ones that are still there can increase in size. So, if you have an unhealthy lifestyle with more caloric intake than output, your current fat cells will grow larger, and you can become heavy and larger even though liposuction removed fat.
