Liposculpture in Los Angeles
Welcome to our Los Angeles liposculpture practice!
Many of us have unwanted pockets of fat that won't go away with diet and exercise. Liposculpture removes these pockets through tiny, inconspicuous incisions using local anesthesia only.
Liposculpture, Liposuction, & Smartlipo
Various techniques exist for removing fat including traditional liposuction, tumescent liposuction, laser assisted lipolysis (Smartlipo or Cool lipo), and ultrasonic liposuction.
Traditional liposuction usually implies liposuction performed under some form of sedation. Tumescent liposuction refers to liposuction performed after the area to be treated is filled with a dilute solution of local anesthestic. Tumescent liposuction may be performed either with or without sedation. The safest method of liposuction is tumescent lipo done using local anesthesia only.
Laser assisted lipolysis (Smartlipo or Cool lipo) is a technique where a laser is passed through the fat before it is suctioned. After the laser is passed through the fat, it is suctioned in the same way that it would be suctioned using tumescent liposuction. Whether or not this technique offers either an advantage or a risk has yet to be fully determined.
Ultrasonic liposuction uses sound wave technology to assist with the suctioning process. Burns and damage to the skin have occurred with this technology. As mentioned before, liposculpture without sedation is the safest form of liposuction.
Liposculpture is another name for liposuction and often refers to a less invasive and more refined type of liposuction that focuses on shaping and contouring in addition to fat removal. Dr. Osman performs liposculpture using only local anesthesia and microsurgical instruments to ensure fat is removed thoroughly, smoothly, and safely.
Dr. Osman performs liposculpture without sedation. He chooses this technique because it offers the smoothest results, the fastest recovery, and the least amount of risk. This fits his philosophy of providing maximum results with minimum downtime.
In this technique, Dr. Osman outlines the area to be sculpted with a marker. A few entrance points are numbed, and this is usually the only portion of the sculpting procedure with any notable discomfort. However, it is easier than getting your blood drawn for most people. Once the entrance ports are numbed, the remainder of the area to be suctioned is anesthetized. After this point, you don't feel anything. Then the liposculpture begins. Suctioning usually takes 1 - 2 hours depending on how much fat there is to remove. Dr. Osman precisely removes fat using very small instruments called microcannulas to achieve a smooth, natural contour. After sculpting the area, a compression garment is applied that is worn for a few days (not weeks!). Recovery is fast, and this is the main benefit of liposculpture using local anesthesia only. If you're like most residents of Los Angeles, you lead a full and busy life. Liposculpture shouldn't slow you down. As a liposculpture surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Osman understands this.
Most patients are able to return to desk-type work after 1 - 3 days and to exercising a few days later. Recovery from local anesthesia liposculpture is faster than recovery from liposculpture and liposuction using other techniques. After traditional liposuction, patients often have to wear a compression garment for several weeks. Most patients only have to wear their garment for 3 - 4 days after Dr. Osman performs liposculpture. It is even shorter after liposculpture of the neck and chin.
