Sculpt and Contour with Newport Beach Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture, and microliposuction is a surgical technique that is used to contour, sculpt, and remove excess, unwanted fatty deposits from specific areas such as the belly, waist, flanks, bra roll, back, hips, thighs, upper arms, chin and neck. Liposuction is not a means for weight loss; however, when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, liposuction can produce long-lasting, amazing results by sculpting and contouring those 'trouble' spots that are difficult to reach through diet and exercise alone.

Power Assisted Liposuction Newport Beach with Dr. Sanjay Grover

Many different techniques exist for liposuction such as tumescent liposuction and superwet liposuction, in addition to many different modalities that are used, including traditional lipoplasty, power-assisted liposuction, or ultrasound assisted liposuction. Dr. Grover has had extensive experience with all of these techniques, but prefers the Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) technique in conjunction with the superwet and tumescent techniques. Dr. Grover has performed hundreds of procedures utilizing the power assisted liposuction technique that uses a small cannula, or tube that is attached to a mechanical hand piece that vibrates at hundreds of times per minute. This helps to loosen the fat cells and allows for easier, more efficient and less traumatic removal of the fatty tissues with less bruising and discomfort. There are many advantages to the Power Assisted Liposuction technique over older techniques such as Suction Assisted Liposuction (SAL) and Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction (UAL). Its benefits include more efficient removal of fatty deposits, especially from more fibrous areas such as the "love-handles" and chest and as well as from patients who have had previous liposuction and may have additional scar tissue. Generally speaking, patients with localized areas of excess fatty deposits and have good skin tone and elasticity will have the best results.

Recovery Options with Newport Beach Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover

Following your procedure, you will be somewhat swollen and sore. It is helpful to massage the skin and deeper tissues following liposuction. You will wear foam padding and compression garments over the treated areas to minimize any bruising and minimize swelling. You should wear TED compression hose postoperatively until you are ambulatory and walking to help minimize any risk for deep venous thromboses and pulmonary emboli. The compression garments should be worn continuously from 2 to 4 weeks depending on amount of swelling and exercise may be resumed by 10-14 days post surgery, while compression garments are worn.
