Liposuction — also known as liposculpture in Los Angeles — is one of the city’s most sought-after cosmetic surgery solutions for eliminating stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. This minimally invasive body contouring procedure reshapes and refines your figure by permanently removing fat cells from targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and chin.
Unlike traditional weight loss methods, liposculpture focuses on sculpting and defining your natural proportions rather than reducing overall weight. Dr. Babak Moein combines state-of-the-art technology with a precise, artistic approach to deliver smooth, natural-looking contours that enhance your unique physique.
Reveal a new shape to your body like our delighted Los Angeles patients. Experience dramatic transformations accomplished with Dr. Moein's advanced liposuction methods.
Here at Moein Surgical Arts, we think people should be comfortable in their own skin. A skinner, tighter appearance is a goal for some people, and in some cases, it's a procedure that might need a pro's guidance.
Whether addressing recalcitrant fat on smaller locations such as around the chin or neck or addressing wider locations such as around the midline area, arm area, thigh area, love handles area, or back area, we provide tailored body contouring treatments in accordance with your shape and objectives. Every procedure is carefully designed to create naturally appearing proportionate results that improve your shape without compromising your distinctiveness.
Dr. Babak Moeinolmolki is double board-eligible in cosmetic and general surgery and is one of Los Angeles' premier liposuction experts. With a specialization in cutting-edge body contouring, his practice ensures maximum results with minimum downtime.

Moein Surgical Arts offers specialized advanced liposuction procedures to shape and redefine the shape of several areas of the body with utmost precision. If you have pesky fat on or near the chin, arms, stomach, thighs, back, or love handles, Dr. Babak Moein will customize the minimally-invasive procedure to fit the shape of you for natural-looking, balanced results. With the most advanced technology and minimally intrusive techniques, we aim to refine the shape of the body, increase skin definition, and rejuvenate your self-confidence. From removing the double chin to getting that snatched waist line with smooth curves, personalized results mean you get the figure you've always wanted, all conducted with safety at our Los Angeles surgery suite.
Eliminate bra bulge and back rolls distorting clothing fit. Upper, middle back, and lumbar contours create smooth lines that enhance overall shape.
Trim excess flank fat that makes your waistline wider. "Waist snatching" surgeries performed by Dr. Moein produce radical hourglass or V-shaped silhouettes that define your natural body shape.
Double chin removal improves facial outline and definition of the jawline dramatically. It is a non-invasive surgery performed under local anesthesia with immediate results.
Arm contouring reduces fat regardless of skin elasticity. Skin contraction can be performed in conjunction with fat removal if required to achieve maximum results.
Our most requested procedure continues to be abdominal liposuction. Midsection is contoured by Dr. Moein to achieve natural muscle definition and proportionate balance. Frequently paired with tummy tuck for a complete new abdominal shape.
Thigh contouring or reshaping inner and outer thighs eliminates chafing and achieves sophisticated leg lines. State-of-the-art techniques treat both shallow and deep fat layers to achieve smooth natural effects.
Ideal liposuction patients in Los Angeles possess these characteristics:
✓ Good Overall Health - Lack of major illness that will disrupt healing
✓ Near Ideal Weight - within 20-30 pounds of desired weight
✓ Stuborn fat spots - Exercise and diet didn't decrease some deposits of fat
✓ Good Skin Elasticity - Skin can contract once fat has been removed
✓ Non-Smoker - or willing to refrain 4+ weeks prior to surgery
Dr. Moein will give you instructions on how to prepare for your liposuction surgery. You will receive a full medical workup and care plan. This may include blood tests, medication adjustments, and a list of medications to avoid.
Dr. Moein will also create a pain management plan before surgery. This plan considers your experience with pain medication, risk of opioid addiction, expected discomfort, and your pain tolerance. Most patients use a combination of prescription and over-the-counter medications, though many find over-the-counter options are enough. Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin, Motrin, and Ibuprofen, as well as other blood thinners.
All patients must stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery. Smoking can affect healing and impact your final results. Dr. Moein offers smoking cessation support at his clinic.
Dr. Moein's advanced techniques minimize downtime for busy Los Angeles lifestyles:
The cost of liposuction can vary significantly depending on the treatment areas, the complexity of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia used. On average, patients can expect to invest between $4,000 and $15,000. For the most accurate pricing, it is best to schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Babak Moein, where all aspects of the procedure—including associated fees—will be thoroughly discussed.
We understand that cost is an important consideration. That’s why we offer a variety of financing options to help make liposuction more affordable. Our experienced team can guide you through available payment plans and ensure you understand all potential expenses, including any follow-up appointments or additional services that may be recommended.
As with most cosmetic procedures, recovery and visible results from liposuction can vary from patient to patient. While you may notice an immediate improvement in your body’s contour following the procedure, residual swelling can obscure the final outcome. It typically takes several weeks to a few months for the majority of the swelling to subside, with final results becoming fully apparent within six months to one year.
Once the swelling diminishes, your newly contoured shape will be more clearly defined. It is important to note that while the fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. For this reason, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet and regular exercise—is essential to preserving your results over the long term.
Discomfort following liposuction is expected but generally manageable and varies depending on the technique used and the type of anesthesia administered. Most patients experience the greatest soreness within the first 2 to 4 days after the procedure. Tenderness and mild discomfort may persist for 3 to 4 weeks but typically improve steadily as the body heals.
Dr. Moein takes every precaution to ensure patient comfort throughout the process. A personalized pain management plan will be provided prior to your surgery to help minimize discomfort during recovery. By closely following this plan and adhering to post-operative instructions, patients can significantly reduce their recovery time and improve their overall experience.
Liposuction can be a highly effective tool for sculpting the body and enhancing overall proportions, but it is not intended as a weight loss solution. Instead, liposuction is best suited for removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Many patients choose liposuction to improve body contours, achieve a more balanced silhouette, and feel more confident in their clothing.
However, it is important to maintain realistic expectations. Liposuction does not treat loose or sagging skin and is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. If excess skin—particularly around the abdomen—is a concern, Dr. Moein may recommend combining liposuction with a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck to achieve optimal results.
Yes, wearing a compression garment is an essential part of the recovery process following liposuction. These specially designed garments help reduce post-operative swelling and bruising, support the healing tissues, and improve overall contouring results. By applying gentle, consistent pressure, the garment aids in skin retraction and promotes more uniform healing.
Dr. Moein recommends that patients wear their compression garments for a minimum of four weeks after surgery. This period allows for optimal reduction in swelling and contributes to a smoother, more refined final outcome. Adhering to this recommendation is a key factor in achieving the best possible liposuction results.
