Orange County Liposuction

Many of Dr. Graham Kemsley's patients considering Orange County liposuction at his Irvine office tell a similar story. Despite eating sensibly and working out regularly, they still have "problem" areas. Most often for women it's their abdomen, hips and thighs; for men it's those pesky "love handles." In many cases, these fatty deposits cause their bodies to appear disproportionate. Luckily, liposuction can help.

Did you know that liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the U.S.? By removing fatty deposits from problem areas, liposuction can dramatically improve the contours of your figure. And best of all, it is safe and effective with only tiny incisions.

Thin Excess Fat

Liposuction works best for women and men who are average-to-slightly overweight with isolated pockets of fat that do not respond to dieting or working out. While liposuction is not a cure-all, or a substitute for proper eating or exercise, it can help you take care of unwanted bulges that won't budge.

For his Orange County liposuction patients, Dr. Kemsley uses a suctioning instrument called a cannula which is inserted between the skin and muscle to thin excess fat from specific areas of the body such as the thighs, abdomen, arms, and even the face and neck. Liposuction can be performed on men and women of any age, although having firm, elastic skin will improve the results. The procedure, on average, takes about two hours and is typically performed under general anesthesia. While it can trim down problem areas, liposuction by itself will not improve dimpled skin or cellulite.

Patient Imaging Software is used to guide patients from their current appearance to what they will be able to look like after liposuction in Orange County. Liposuction is often performed along with abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), post-bariatric procedures or breast enhancement in Orange County.

Quick Recovery

Most of our patients can go home the same day and can resume normal activity within a couple of weeks. It's normal for the suctioned areas to be swollen and bruised at first. This should also subside in a couple of weeks. Most likely, you'll notice full results in approximately 2 months. Our patients express great satisfaction with the procedure - they tell us their self-image improves, their clothes fit better and, most importantly, they feel and look better.
