Liposuction Plastic Surgery

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of body, face, or neck. Liposuction is best suited for women and men who are in relatively good shape, but have localized areas of excess fat deposition that won't respond to dieting or exercise.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you desire fat removal or contouring in any of the following areas:

  • Face and neck
  • Breast and chest area
  • Abdomen and waist
  • Hips, thighs and buttocks

Please note that liposuction surgery can't serve as a substitute for dieting and exercise nor for treatment of cellulite. If you plan to become pregnant or to lose a significant amount of weight, you should discuss these plans with Dr. Mazaheri.

Dr Mazaheri uses the newest liposuction technique called the VASER. This is an ultrasonic machine that "melts" the fat prior to suctioning. The benefits of this less traumatic technique include less bruising, less swelling, less pain, and less down time for patients. Liposuction surgery is often used in combination with Abdominoplasty.
