Los Angeles ‘Micro’ Liposuction Patients Choosing Combination Enhancement Surgeries

As Los Angeles and Beverly Hills liposuction patients desire more complete results, plastic surgeons are performing more procedures that combine the Smartlipo™ laser lipolysis system with other procedures for enhanced body sculpting.

Los Angeles, California (March 2009) – Cosmetic surgery patients used to rely on Los Angeles liposuction alone to provide them with more desirable body contours. But recently, the plastic surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates say that their patients have been requesting combination procedures that integrate other kinds of plastic surgery with liposuction. The surgeons attribute this shift to the convenience of customized approaches like Smartlipo™ laser liposuction.

“Smartlipo works well as a standalone body contouring option, but it is also very effective when combined with traditional liposuction, a tummy tuck, or other cosmetic procedures,” says Marina Plastic Surgery Medical Director and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Grant Stevens. “Our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills liposuction patients in particular appreciate the added benefits and smooth results they can achieve with Smartlipo.”

Combining Smartlipo and traditional liposuction is already a popular choice at Marina Plastic Surgery, but increasingly Smartlipo is being added to breast reductions, tummy tucks, and other cosmetic surgery options. In fact, candidates for Beverly Hills laser liposuction often are having a breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or facelift to create maximum improvement with minimal downtime.

With the advent of Smartlipo laser lipolysis, surgeons are able to liquefy fat cells while tightening the inner layers of skin so that they contract to the slimmer body contour. This process can allow both the patient and the surgeon greater flexibility to adapt liposuction for combination procedures, at the same time as it helps speed up the surgical process and minimizes Los Angeles liposuction recovery times.
