Timeless Rejuvenation
Liposuction is a sought-after body sculpting procedure that can transform the physique by removing pockets of stubborn, exercise-resistant fat. It can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, back, waist, male chest, submental region, or neck to deliver a slimmer, more streamlined appearance. Dr. Ari Wes in San Francisco, CA, utilizes today’s most cutting-edge techniques to maximize your results and leave you more confident and youthful.
Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat cells, leaving the figure more sculpted, youthful, and attractive. While it can be performed on its own with excellent results, liposuction is often combined with other body sculpting options, such as a mommy makeover, body lift, gynecomastia surgery, arm lift, thigh lift, or abdominoplasty to take your results to the next level. Dr. Wes in San Francisco focuses on natural-looking changes that restore the physique after aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
When choosing to undergo liposuction at Wes Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, it is important to understand that the procedure is not meant to be a substitute for weight loss but rather a strategic fat loss option. Patients who struggle with excess fat due to genetics or aging and are not able to achieve their contouring goals through dieting and exercise alone make excellent candidates for liposuction, provided that they are in good health, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations for their outcome. Dr. Wes will provide an in-depth consultation and medical review to make sure that liposuction can be performed safely and effectively and that the treatment will achieve your unique aesthetic goals.
Liposuction, performed with skill and experience by Dr. Wes in San Francisco, comes with a wealth of impressive advantages. These include:
Your unique journey with liposuction in San Francisco begins with an initial call to our practice manager, Julie. She will answer your questions, walk you through an overview of the liposuction treatment process, and help you decide whether to book a formal in-person consultation with Dr. Wes. There is no charge, pressure, or commitment involved with this call.
Once you decide to move forward, you will meet with Dr. Wes for a thorough physical and medical assessment. This visit is dedicated to better understanding your cosmetic goals and ensuring you have transparent information about the risks, downtime, and potential outcomes associated with liposuction. Dr. Wes can also discuss combining liposuction with other strategic body sculpting solutions, such as a mommy makeover, body lift, arm lift, or thigh lift.
On the day of your liposuction treatment, we will warmly greet you at our state-of-the-art facility in San Francisco and place you in a comfortable, well-equipped treatment room. Liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation; however, general anesthesia is also an option, especially when undergoing liposuction in tandem with other body sculpting procedures.
Once you are deeply relaxed, Dr. Wes will make small incisions in the targeted areas, taking great care to minimize postoperative scarring. Through your incisions, he will insert a small tube called a cannula and suction out excess fat cells to create more attractive, youthful-looking curves. Once all changes have been completed, Dr. Wes will close your incisions and escort you in our recovery suite, where you will be carefully monitored until Dr. Wes feels it is safe for you to return home.
Your Guide to Post-Liposuction Care
After liposuction, your treated contours will be wrapped in compression garments to help reduce swelling and keep your newly sculpted curves intact throughout the healing process. It is common to experience mild swelling, bruising, and soreness. These symptoms can be managed with plenty of rest and oral pain medications prescribed by the doctor. While you will be able to begin taking short, gentle walks soon after your procedure, you should continue to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks. Make sure to attend all your scheduled follow-up sessions, as they are a critical component of your treatment plan and help Dr. Wes ensure a seamless, complication-free recovery.
The cost of liposuction in San Francisco can vary depending on your unique goals, the extent of excess fat, and whether your procedure is paired with other body sculpting options, such as a body lift, mommy makeover, arm lift, thigh lift, or tummy tuck.
