Regardless of healthy diet and regular exercise, individuals commonly find themselves with stubborn pockets of localized fat. In order to improve up these problems areas, you may wish to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction (“lipoplasty”). At Bay Area MedAesthetics in Oakland, Douglas Chin, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Glen K. Lau, M.D. can help you reach your body contouring goals.
Highly qualified surgeons Dr. Chin and Dr. Lau offer patients a variety of liposuction techniques in the East Bay area. These include ultrasound liposuction, smart liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction.
How is ultrasound lipoplasty performed?
During your visit with Dr. Chin or Dr. Lau, you will discuss the areas that you would like to target and your desired outcome. The most commonly treated regions that ultrasound liposuction can treat include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. Based on your anatomy and their professional advice, a tailored treatment plan will be recommended.
Ultrasound assisted liposuction is performed through tiny incisions. Through these tiny openings, a long rod called a cannula with an ultrasound probe on the end will be inserted and moved throughout the fatty tissue. The ultrasound waves will break up fat cells and facilitate removal. Ultrasonic liposuction can help reduce blood loss and decrease bruising post-surgery, while providing a streamlined contour.
Berkeley ultrasound liposuction patients who are interested in tightening their abdominal muscles can learn more regarding tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”) at the practice of Dr. Chin and Dr. Lau. When undergoing both procedures simultaneously, you may achieve optimal body contouring. Additional information can be obtained at your initial consultation.
If you would like to see examples of previous patient results, you may view liposuction before and after photos during your appointment. In addition, patient testimonials provide insight to the care given by our friendly plastic surgeons.
