This woman felt that her "boxy" figure made her look shapeless and less feminine. She met with Dr. Yoho to find out whether body shaping options like Los Angeles ultrasonic liposuction could recontour her waist to create a slimmer and more flattering shape. After hearing her goals and assessing her current shape, Dr. Yoho recommended liposuction for the abdomen and upper hips. While in some cases liposuction can be appropriate for very overweight patients, good candidates for this type of procedure are generally within a healthy weight range. Most commonly, these are women and men who eat right and exercise, but struggle with persistent patches of fat left over from pregnancy, puberty, hormone medications, or former weight problems. These factors can create areas of fat don't disappear with diet and exercise, which is where liposuction can help. For good results it's important that you keep up your healthy habits so that your skin and tissues will adapt well to your new, more trim-looking shape. Approximately one month after her procedure, this patient is showing great results from her liposuction. In the postoperative photo we see a much smoother transition from the torso to the hips, for a significantly firmer, slimmer look. Although this patient's procedure focused on her waist, and she did not undergo any of our breast enlargement procedures in Los Angeles, you can see how even these subtle changes to her waistline help emphasize a much more pleasing curve at the breasts and hips. The patient is still experiencing a little postoperative wrinkling, but most of this will clear up over the following 3 to 7 months.
