Liposuction in Long Beach - Dr. Mary Powers focuses on plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery procedures including liposuction and other reconstructive surgical procedures. Please contact us today to learn more about this procedure.

Patients who desire an liposuction in Long Beach usually are seeking to reduce the size of a protruding fat deposits throughout the body. This procedure is best for individuals who are seeking to reduce fat deposits and are in relatively good health. Age is not a factor in liposuction, except that older patients' skin may not be as elastic and may not yield the same result as a person with more elastic skin. Eliminating these deposits may also affect an individual's confidence, leading them to seek their own liposuction in Long Beach.

A liposuction can help such individuals restore a thinner and fitter looking contour to their bodies. The specified portion of the body is made smaller to better match the shape of the patient. Dr. Powers in Long Beach accomplishes this by removing excess fat through a vacuuming procedure. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient. Please contact Dr. Mary Powers to learn more about getting a liposuction in Long Beach.

Liposuction is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon in Long Beach. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as abdominoplasty to achieve an effect that better matches the proportions of the body. Once your goals have been determined you will set a date for this procedure in Long Beach and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your liposuction in Long Beach has arrived, you should plan on the surgery taking several hours or more depending on which procedures you are having performed. Several liposuction procedures are available which can vary in cost and amount of time required, and while the method may be different with each procedure, the underlying principal is still the same. A small incision is made so that a tube can be inserted to the lower layers of fat which are then vacuumed out of the body. Incisions are placed on the body to minimize visibility.

The basic procedure for liposuction in Long Beach differs from other procedures in that the newer procedures make the operation easier to perform and reduce the pain and discomfort that happens after the operation. One such procedure is an ultrasonic lipoplasty which uses ultrasonic energy to first liquefy the fat before it is removed. This tends to make the procedure easier to perform and the recovery process happens more smoothly.

Although newer procedures reduce the pain after the operation, some pain and swelling may still occur. Patients are usually mobile again after the procedure but it may take a few weeks before you feel completely normal again. Medications are available to further reduce the discomfort after the procedure. All procedures are performed with anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What are the benefits of breast augmentation with implants?
This operation is performed to enhance or restore the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Breasts may be small because of lack of development or changes following pregnancy, weight loss or congenital abnormalities. Sometimes a woman's breasts are very asymmetric. This operation can improve a woman's self esteem and quality of life. Studies have shown over 90% of women are satisfied with their results. Currently, saline implants (silastic bags filled with salt water ) are placed either behind the pectoral muscle and breast tissue or in front of the muscle. This is done through an incision 1-1/2 " – 2" long placed either under the breast, around the areola.

What do breasts look like after augmentation mammaplasty?
Saline-filled prostheses are the best means now available to enlarge the breasts by surgery. However, the prospective patient should know that the final appearance, shape and texture are not exactly the same as normal breasts. The surgically enlarged breasts do not move in the same way as normal breasts. They tend to be more firm. The contours are usually somewhat different than normal breasts. In some patients, these discrepancies may be rather noticeable. Although every effort is made to place the implants symmetrically, complete symmetry is rarely achieved. Immediately after surgery, the breasts may appear swollen and firmer; the final shape and size is seen after several weeks. Please note that silicone gel implants are now available for elective new breast augmentations since FDA approval late last year.

Are the prostheses safe? Can they cause cancer?
To the best of our present knowledge, these prostheses are made of non-reactive, safe material. Thus, there is no way to say positively that they won't cause trouble 20 years from now, but it is unlikely. The incidence of cancer in augmented breasts is the same as in normal breasts, actually less in some studies. Additionally, the incidence of collagen vascular disease is the same or less in studies of women with breast implants.

What kind of anesthetic is used?
A general anesthetic is most common when the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle.

What are my limitations in activity post-operatively?
You should plan to avoid activities which require much raising of the arms above the level of the head for 10 days after surgery. With great care, you can drive about 3 days after surgery. Patients can usually return to work in a few days unless their occupation requires particularly strenuous movements and lifting. In such cases, 2-3 weeks should be allowed. 

You may be a candidate for eyelid surgery in San Francisco if you have excessive, sagging, or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin. Eyelid lift can also be helpful if you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision or if you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease. Eyelid lift may also be indicated if you have puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids that create a tired or aged appearance. The eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) procedure is intended to produce a more youthful and rested appearance of the eyes. The procedure may also widen your visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision. Blepharoplasty is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The incisions are made where the natural crease should be in the upper lids and below the lash line in the lower lids. Excess fat and skin are removed. If only excess fat is present in the lower lids, it may be removed through an incision inside the lower lids with no external incision or scar (transconjunctival blepharoplasty).

Breast Enlargement, or augmentation mammoplasty, enhances the body contour of a woman who is unhappy with her breast size. It may also be used to correct volume loss after pregnancy, to help balance breast size asymmetries, or as a reconstructive technique following other breast surgery. The breast implant (prosthesis) is usually composed of an outer silicone shell filled with saline (salt water). The outer surface may be smooth or textured, and breast implants in Thousand Oaks come in various shapes to meet the individual woman’s needs. The operation is carried out under general anesthesia and usually on an outpatient basis. The incision can be made under the breast, around the nipple or in the armpit. The implant may then be placed under the breast tissue and glands or partially under the pectoralis major muscle (the thickness of the breast tissue and its ability to adequately cover the implant is a determining factor in its placement). It generally takes one to two hours to complete the entire procedure.

While breast augmentation will enlarge the breasts, it will not alter basic defects in breast shape or form. Major asymmetries may be improved but will not be completely corrected. A slight difference in the size or shape of the two breasts is considered normal and should not be a cause for concern. If the difference in individual breast size or nipple position is great, then additional procedures to further improve symmetry may be necessary.

For breast augmentation in Thousand Oaks or Oxnard contact David Michelson. 

Your eyes can be the first place to show the signs of aging. This occurs because the skin in the eyelids is quite thin and subject to the rigorous stress and strain of a daily routine. For some, this results in always looking tired, unhappy or as if you've had a bad night's rest. Others will see fattiness or bags in the lower lids that are inherited and are visible at a young age.

With our techniques, most people will not realize that you have had eyelid surgery. The result to you can be dramatic and rewarding. No one procedure can accommodate all concerns. Depending on the exact nature of the problem, lower eyelid surgery can be done using a scarless approach, which addresses the excess fat or heaviness in the lower lid, or can also be tailored to improve eyelid support and reduce skin excess.

Eyelid surgery can also be combined with forehead or browlift to raise the drooping or sagging eyebrow. Eyelid surgery can take one to two hours and can be combined with other facial enhancements if you wish. After eyelid surgery, some soreness is to be expected with some swelling or bruising. Typically, patients are up and around the day after surgery. The bruising resolves gradually and can usually be covered with makeup or concealers. You can expect to look refreshed and alert.
