Liposuction removes localized fat deposits through small, discreet openings using thin cannulas. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, waist, thighs, arms, back, chin, and bra line. The fat cells removed are gone for good. What remains is a contour that finally matches your effort.
Liposuction works best for people who:
Liposuction is a shaping tool, not a weight loss method. If loose skin is part of the picture, procedures like a tummy tuck or thigh lift may serve you better, and Dr. Goel will say so honestly.
Through openings just a few millimeters wide, Dr. Goel infuses a numbing solution, then removes fat in controlled, even passes. The skill is in the gradients: feathering edges so treated areas blend seamlessly into untreated ones. He treats adjacent zones together when it serves the silhouette, such as the abdomen with the flanks, because contour is judged as a whole.
Most patients return to desk work within a few days to a week. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to guide the skin smoothly to the new contour. Swelling resolves progressively, with the refined result showing at two to three months.
A graduate of USC's Keck School of Medicine and former Chief Resident at UC Irvine, Dr. Goel is conservative with volume and obsessive about smoothness. Even results are the entire game in liposuction.
Removed fat cells do not return. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining cells, so a stable lifestyle protects your result.
Several, within safe limits. Dr. Goel will map a plan that balances your goals with safety.
If your skin has good elasticity, it retracts smoothly. If not, Dr. Goel will recommend the skin-tightening procedure you actually need instead.
