Liposuction Case

Details for Case #2978

After pregnancy, it is common for women to experience loose abdominal muscles that will not tighten with exercise, but coupled with stubborn fatty deposits, this problem can be noticeable and frustrating. This 36-year-old mother from Long Beach felt that she was a perfect candidate for a plastic surgery procedure to refine the shape of her body and help her achieve a more flattering look. Specifically, she wanted to correct the shape of her flanks or “love handles,” smooth out the “bra rolls” along her back, and create a slimmer shape for her inner and outer thighs.

In her meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates, this woman carefully evaluated each of her options before deciding on a combined procedure including a tummy tuck as well as liposuction for her problem areas. Her goal was to create a smoother look that would flatter her whole appearance.

Power assisted liposuction and a tummy tuck near Long Beach and Los Angeles is most effective to create an attractive, energized look for women and men who already work to live healthy. Patients should be at or close to their goal weight, and for best results should avoid gaining or losing significant amounts of weight after surgery.

This woman’s post-operative photos show her results at 18 months following her tummy tuck and Los Angeles liposuction procedures. The differences between her before and after pictures are dramatic; after her procedure, the fatty bulges on her back and hips have been smoothed away, giving her whole body a much firmer, tighter appearance.
