What Is Smartlipo Laser Liposuction?

The Smartlipo laser liposuction is a minimally invasive body sculpting procedure involving the use of laser technology for melting unwanted body fat before being sucked out. Unlike other methods of liposuction that mostly use suction for removing fats from the body, laser-assisted lipo provides a unique ability for warming up the body fats with a thin fiber waved under the body skin with the aim of melting them while at the same time encouraging the production of collagen. This is especially beneficial with a smooth body contour and a tightening effect on the body skin, especially with areas such as the tummy, love handles, arms, neck, or chin that tend to show a slight loosening of body skin due to obesity or overweight conditions.

What Is Power-Assisted Liposuction(PAL)?

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is a current method of removal of fat which employs an electronic driven canula that works in a back and forth manner and this procedure permits for improved efficiency with regard to removal of fat, using less manual force by the surgeon and causing less trauma to surrounding tissue, ultimately leading to a smoother curvatures of body shape, less fatigue for the surgeon when performing large quantities of this procedure and consistency of the results across treated areas. The abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, and back are frequently treated using this liposuction procedure and in all instances it is possible to do this procedure in conjunction with other technologies, depending on the body type of the patient and the desired outcome of the procedure.

what is Ultrasonic Liposuction?

Ultrasonic Liposuction is a technique for removing fat from the body that utilizes ultrasound energy to destroy the cells containing fat before gently sucking them out through suctioning equipment. Because the ultrasound energy is selective for fat, and primarily representatives surrounding tissues (nerves, blood vessels, connective tissue), there will be considerably less trauma to your body with ultrasonic liposuction as opposed to traditional methods of removing adipose (fat) material. Thus, ultrasonic liposuction is especially effective in areas with dense/fibrous adipose (fat) tissue (common in males' abdominal areas, flanks, and rectal areas) and allows for more sculpted results than traditional liposuction, with more precise techniques for creating contour and definition.

How Long Does It Take to See Results from Liposuction?

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.

Is Liposuction Painful?

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.

Can You Lose Weight with Liposuction?

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.

Is It Necessary to Wear a Compression Garment After Liposuction?

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.

Common Areas for Liposuction

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.

Back Liposuction

Eliminate bra bulge and back rolls distorting clothing fit. Upper, middle back, and lumbar contours create smooth lines that enhance overall shape.

Love Handle Liposuction

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.

Chin Liposuction

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 Liposuction

Arm contouring reduces fat regardless of skin elasticity. Skin contraction can be performed in conjunction with fat removal if required to achieve maximum results.

Stomach Liposuction

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 Liposuction

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.

Lipo 360 Los Angeles

Lipo 360° is an advanced body-contouring surgical procedure that addresses the entire midsection-the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back-to provide a full 360° transformation. Unlike the traditional liposuction that addresses one area, Lipo 360° addresses the torso as a whole and provides a smooth, natural contour from every angle. By using small, precise incisions, Dr. Babak Moein removes stubborn deposits of fat that resist diet and exercise. This procedure can be personalized to augment one's silhouette by defining the waistline, highlighting the natural curvature, and offering both men and women an appearance that is more athletic and sculpted.
