Liposuction

Having a toned, shapely, and fit posterior is a physical attribute that many people desire. Therefore, liposuction body contouring cosmetic surgery is sought by many patients. Your plastic surgeon may recommend getting a liposuction plastic surgery to achieve desirable and proportionately shaped hips and buttocks.

Excessive fatty deposits are generally present in the sites surrounding the rear making it necessary to have a comprehensive approach in the treating the area. Your surgeon may be able to deliver dramatic results by evaluating your anatomy in a thorough fashion.

Liposuction plastic surgery is rarely performed solely in the butt region. Your surgeon will usually perform the procedure around the buttocks, in the posterior, upper thigh area, hips, and outer thighs.

It is important that you choose a liposuction surgeon that has intimate knowledge of how each region of the body interacts. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides liposuction body contouring surgery for the hips and buttocks to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Liposuction Procedure

Your surgeon will make use of a cannula to carry out the butt liposuction. Cannula refers to a narrow steel tube which will be gently inserted by the surgeon into the fat layer of the buttocks. The cannula is delicately maneuvered in a back-and-forth motion through the fat layer. It is always kept perfectly parallel to the skin to help in breaking down the fat cells. The cannula will then be used to suction out the disintegrated fat cells from the body.

Tumescent technique will be used by the surgeon to undertake buttock liposuction. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and you won’t be rendered unconscious. This allows for quicker recovery and significant results as compared to other invasive forms of liposuction.

Ideal candidates for butt liposuction cosmetic surgery have a protuberant and prominent backside that needs decreasing. Most patients tend to have a thick layer of fat on the butt surface. Butt liposuction will involve removal of this outer fat layer while contouring the round shape so that it gets an appealing and excellent muscle definition.

Your treatment provider may perform the procedure on thighs, flanks, and hips as well if the body shape requires it. Various factors will be assessed by the patient during the entire procedure. This includes patient’s skin elasticity and body proportions. This is done to help the patient accomplish results that are not just cosmetically attractive, but also customized to their needs.

Expect This from Your Hip Liposuction

Hips are among the most difficult areas in the body to lose fat. Hip liposuction can eliminate inches off the patient’s body. It is also one of the most successful areas for liposuction. The procedure is generally carried out as an outpatient procedure.

You may find standing for long periods or walking a bit uncomfortable in the initial days following the surgery. You may also experience minor bruising and inflammation. Your body could take up to three months for getting acclimatized to the new contours.

Liposuction 

Love handles or flanks refer to the area between the hips and the ribs. This area is prone to developing local fatty deposits. Fatty deposits may develop because of weight gain as well. Diet and exercises in such case can reduce fat to a great extent. Certain people develop love handles because of genetic conditions. There are very few remedies for eliminating this type of fat.

Fortunately, fat in flanks can respond well to minimally invasive liposuction cosmetic surgery. The area is well-defined meaning you can achieve dramatic improvements with little reduction in fatty deposits.

In addition, the skin in the flank area is generally quite elastic. This allows the skin to mold well to new and improved contours following liposuction. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides liposuction body contouring surgery for the love handles to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Causes for Love Handles to Develop

There are various reasons for love handles to develop, such as aging, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition for fat to accumulate in the area. It is often not possible to control the development of love handles. However, liposuction can be used for effectively eliminating them and improving the body contours.

Liposuction plastic surgery offers the advantage of permanently removing fatty deposits from the treatment site. However, liposuction doesn’t remove all the fat cells. If you gain weight, your body will accumulate fat deposits again because the remaining fat cells will expand.

Benefits of Flank Liposuction

Liposuction Procedure for Love Handles

Your surgeon will use a device called cannula to perform liposuction of the love handles. The cannula is a narrow steel tube which the surgeon will insert delicately into the fat layers of the flanks. The treatment provider will move the cannula back and forth in the layer of fat while keeping it parallel.

This works towards disintegrating the fat cells which can then be suctioned out of the body easily using the vacuum part of the cannula. Your surgeon will perform the procedure using minimally invasive tumescent liposuction technique. This can be used with or without local anesthesia depending on your comfort level.

Different results are produced for male and female patients in flank liposuction cosmetic surgery. The procedure helps in enhancing the feminine body by creating better contours in women. It creates an aesthetically attractive S-shaped curve in the lower back region. This automatically accentuates the buttocks in the process.

The procedure in men creates a more V-shaped body when looked at from behind. Flank reduction also helps in producing a fitter and slimmer appearance in men. Your surgeon will consider various factors throughout the procedure in terms of your body proportions and skin elasticity. This will help towards creating results that are aesthetically appealing and unique.

Liposuction

Many people are unhappy with fat deposits around their stomach that doesn’t respond to exercise or diet. Liposuction is among the most popular forms of plastic surgery in the United States today. Around 400,000 liposuction procedures were reportedly performed in 2015 according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Excess fat in the belly area is difficult to remove. Liposuction is one of the best options for eliminating love handles and other types of unwanted fat deposits. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides liposuction body contouring surgery for the abdomen to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.

Function of Stomach Liposuction

There is a general redistribution of fat in the body because of aging. This is particularly around the mid-body area. Childbirth can result in unwanted, stubborn body fat in women. Genetics play an important role too. However, every type of fat is not the same where liposuction is concerned.

Subcutaneous fat is generally resistant to diet and exercise. This is the fat located under the skin that sits on top of the abdominal muscle wall.

How is Abdominal Liposuction Performed?

Tumescent liposuction cosmetic surgery is generally used for removing fat around the buttocks, thighs, stomach, and ankles. This is one of the safest procedures. Tumescent involves injecting large quantities of buffered salt water in the fatty tissue under the skin.

Your treatment provider will make a small incision in the fatty site to insert a narrow tube or cannula under the flesh. The cannula has a rigid wand at one end and is linked to a vacuum at the other. The cannula will be moved back and forth rapidly by the surgeon to disintegrate the fat.

The procedure doesn’t take more than 45 minutes to two hours. Liposuction generally requires two weeks of downtime. You should be able to notice full effects of the procedure in 6 – 12 weeks. Your treatment provider will bandage the site following the procedure. You will also be asked to wear a compression garment for 1 – 2 weeks.

Pain and bruising for two weeks are normal following the procedure. You may experience swelling lasting 2 – 8 weeks.

Limitations of Waist Liposuction

Liposuction for the abdomen is a fat-loss procedure and should not be used as a weight-loss solution. It is more effective in particular areas, where fat tends to be unresponsive to diet and exercise. This includes thighs, hips, buttocks, and stomach among other areas.

You may lose a little bit of weight following the procedure. Liposuction cannot be used for correcting bulging stomach as a result of abdominal wall weakness. It cannot be used for tightening sagging skin as well. Some treatment providers recommend liposuction with a tummy tuck for toning and flattening the abdominal region effectively.

Liposuction Post-Operative Healing

You may only require Tylenol or acetaminophen following a tumescent liposuction. The pain can be related to the burning sensation following a vigorous work-out session. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for liposuction fat reduction and body contouring surgery for tummy enhancement.

Liposuction

Surgeons have a wide variety of liposuction plastic surgery techniques available to them. The technology used for the fat removal process is the primary difference in different liposuction procedures.

There are certain advantages and limitations to every liposuction technique. Your treatment provider will recommend the best technique depending on your aesthetic goals and nature of the procedure. You should know that the experience and skill of the surgeon will make a lot of difference to the end results.

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides liposuction body contouring surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Popular Liposuction Types

These are a few popular types of liposuction commonly used by plastic surgeons:

Tumescent Liposuction

Your cosmetic surgeon will inject an anesthetic “tumescent” solution at the target area to minimize discomfort and bleeding during the procedure. Tumescent liposuction is usually performed with local anesthesia depending on the patient.

Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction

Ultrasound energy is used in this technique for breaking up fatty tissues and loosening it. This allows for larger amounts of fat deposits to be removed with ease. VASER liposelection is a variation of this technology.

Laser Assisted Liposuction

This cosmetic surgery procedure is known under different brand names, such as Slim Lipo and Smart Lipo. It makes use of laser energy for dislodging fat cells from the body.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

PAL makes use of mechanically enhanced techniques for removing fat. The device has a motorized cannula which can move sideways, rotational, and back and forth. The procedure reduces tissue trauma.

Suction Assisted Liposuction

This is a standard liposuction technique, also called the dry technique. It uses a cannula that is attached to a vacuum device. The device is inserted within the treatment area and is moved back and forth to break up fat deposits. Suction is used for removing the fat deposits from the body.

Vaser Liposuction

Fat cells are broken apart from the deeper tissues. This is a quick, effective, and less painful technique.

Wet Liposuction

Isotonic fluid is injected in the targeted area to loosen fat deposits. This can be with or without local anesthesia. A special cannula is used for removing the fat deposits.

How Does It Work?

Small areas of stubborn fat are suctioned out in liposuction from buttocks, thighs, hips, and stomach among other areas. The procedure can be carried out using general or local anesthesia. This depends on the custom fat reduction plan. Your treatment provider will mark out those areas on your body from where the fat needs to be removed.

They will inject a solution containing medicine and anesthesia in the area to reduce bruising, swelling, and blood loss. The fat cells are broken down in different ways depending on the technique used. The surgeon will make a small incision to suction the fat out using a vacuum. The treated area will be stitched and bandaged after excess blood and fluid is drained out.

Alternatives Nose Surgery

There is good news for patients that are not ready for getting a surgical rhinoplasty performed. Non-surgical rhinoplasty or liquid rhinoplasty is a filler-based technique that can treat minor nasal deformities. Minor cosmetic imperfections within the nose can be corrected by using a soft tissue filler injection.

Your plastic surgeon will use an FDA approved dermal filler injection for filling in the dents or depressions in the nose area. This will create an effect similar to a structural change helping improve the overall facial appearance. Temporary injectable fillers are used in the procedure. Periodic touch-ups may be required by patients for maintaining treatment results in the long run.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is favored by a number of patients over surgical techniques because it is safer, quicker and minimally invasive. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides non-surgical rhinoplasty to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Benefits of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

A major benefit of non-surgical rhinoplasty over traditional rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery is that there are no incisions or downtime required. Regular rhinoplasty can cause swelling, which may take several weeks or months to resolve completely. This is a complex and invasive approach towards improving facial aesthetics.

Non-surgical nose job can benefit patients that want improvement in the aesthetics of their nose but don’t want to commit to surgery. Rhinoplasty can help towards smoothing humps and bumps on the bridge, drooping tip, and minor nasal crookedness. Non-surgical rhinoplasty has the same psychological advantages as invasive rhinoplasty.

Suitability for Liquid Rhinoplasty

Patients in good general health make suitable candidates for liquid rhinoplasty. Adults looking for minor changes in their nasal area also make ideal candidates. Non-surgical nose job is ideal for people that don’t want to surgically improve the appearance of their nose because of safety reasons and personal preferences.

However, you should know that people looking for major changes may not be satisfied by the results provided by liquid rhinoplasty. The procedure is not suitable for people looking to change the appearance of their nose or improve their nasal function.

Procedure for Filler Rhinoplasty

Filler rhinoplasty is a straightforward procedure as long as a skilled injection provider performs it. Your treatment provider may use a numbing agent before the procedure for ensuring your comfort. Liquid rhinoplasty doesn’t require anesthesia. The actual process doesn’t take more than 2 – 5 minutes. You should be able to notice instant changes throughout the procedure.

Your aesthetic requirements will determine the type of dermal filler that needs to be used. Your treatment provider will discuss this before the procedure. There are no incisions involved in the procedure and you should be able to leave almost immediately following the treatment.

Recovery and Downtime

Liquid rhinoplasty is a form of minimally invasive nose job procedure. Patients can resume their regular activities almost immediately. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the area. However, the side effects are relatively minor and should clear up quickly.

This is a prudent treatment option for people leading busy lives looking for immediate results and no downtime. Results become apparent as soon as the initial redness resolves. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for surgical and non-surgical nose job procedures.

Rhinoplasty Nose Job

Patients often wonder whether their health insurance will cover a nose job expense. Two variables dictate the answer to that question – insurance provider of the patient and the type of rhinoplasty procedure required. If your primary goal is changing the exterior shape of the nose for aesthetic reasons, the insurance provider will not cover it. This is also known as cosmetic rhinoplasty.

However, if your nose needs altering within the internal passages for improving breathing or correcting a deviated septum, then insurance will cover the price tag of the procedure. This is also known as functional rhinoplasty. Sometimes, men and women consider getting a nose job for addressing functional issues and get their aesthetic concerns taken care of at the same time.

Whether for medical reasons or an aesthetic need, if you are considering rhinoplasty you should speak with your plastic surgeon openly for getting answers. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides nose surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.

Difference between Medical and Cosmetic Nose Job

Rhinoplasty is among the five most popular plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States every year. Nose job for some men and women is purely for cosmetic reasons. Nose reshaping cosmetic surgery helps in improving their facial profile and makes them feel more confident in their appearance.

However, there are other individuals that have a medical need to get a rhinoplasty surgery. The primary difference between a functional and a cosmetic rhinoplasty is whether the nose had full function before the procedure.

Patients that struggle to breathe properly because of damage to their nose as a result of an injury or accident or a deviated septum have a medical need to get the rhinoplasty performed.

Medical Need for Rhinoplasty

Some individuals may suffer from deformities in their nasal passageway. These deformities may be significant enough to clog the airway. Medical or functional rhinoplasty procedure can permanently eliminate or alleviate the problem. These are a few common medical reasons for getting a nose job:

Is Your Nose Job Covered By Insurance?

Insurance providers typically reimburse the cost of a rhinoplasty if it improves breathing or corrects it in any way. Insurance companies have medical parameters and criteria for determining the medical coverage of a patient for surgical procedures.

You should speak with a qualified plastic surgeon if you are unsure about the kind of rhinoplasty you require. The surgeon will evaluate your needs after listening to your concerns. They will determine whether the rhinoplasty is a medical necessity or not. They will even provide you with a letter for the insurance company describing the extent of your nose surgery.

In some cases, surgeons recommend getting a rhinoplasty with septoplasty or turbinectomy. In these kinds of cases, the insurance provider will only cover the cost of the turbinectomy or septoplasty.

Rhinoplasty vs. Septoplasty

Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are plastic surgery procedures that involve the nose. Rhinoplasty is more focused on the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Septoplasty, on the other hand, deals with the internal structure of the nose, such as breathing concerns. The two types of surgery are often combined for optimizing the form and function of the nose.

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides rhinoplasty to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.

Nose Needs Both Form and Function

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty or a nose job is a surgical procedure that enhances the outward appearance of the nose or the external aesthetics. It involves reshaping a crooked nose or reducing the size of a large nose to make it proportionate to the face.

The bridge, tip, and rotation of the nose come into play when creating a customized rhinoplasty solution. The procedure addresses naturally occurring changes in the nose because of aging. For instance, rhinoplasty can address the shifts in cartilage which may make the nose grow.

The surgeon, during a nose job, will use tiny incisions for raising the nasal tissue. They will use this to access underlying cartilage and bones. They will then painstakingly manipulate the cartilage, bone structure and skin tissue for reshaping the nose to achieve facial symmetry.

Septoplasty

Septoplasty is performed on the inside of the nose. It is used for correcting structural defects, such as a deviated septum. Septum refers to the section of the bone dividing the nostrils. Deviated septum can make it difficult to breathe. Septoplasty is performed for repositioning or straightening the nasal septum for making the nose function as it is supposed to.

Rhinoplasty and septoplasty overlap within the realm of cosmetic surgery in two ways:

It’s critical to improve both function and form at the same time. Septoplasty and rhinoplasty complement each other by providing renewed function and form. Rhinoplasty is essentially about how your nose appears.

The surgery is performed to:

Septoplasty, on the other hand, is more about nose function. The emphasis of the procedure is on correcting a deviated septum. Misaligned septum can make breathing difficult by blocking one or both the nostrils. This can lead to recurring sinus infections and frequent nosebleeds. An off-balance septum can also have a significant impact on the way you look.

This is one of the major reasons why rhinoplasty is combined with septoplasty. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty

Nose reshaping plastic surgery is an evolutionary process with results showing slowly over a period of months. Rhinoplasty procedure creates a dramatic change in the overall facial appearance. It is a major event for the nose as well that necessitates time for cartilage, tissues, and bone to heal completely.

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides rhinoplasty to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Post-Surgical Swelling After Rhinoplasty

Depending on the complexity of the nose surgery, residual swelling may last for as long as 6 months to a year. This is usually present in the tip of the nose. However, the majority of swelling will subside in just two weeks allowing you to present your improved facial profile to the world. You should find it easy to cover up the residual swelling with makeup after consulting with your surgeon.

You would experience more swelling if you had an open rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery. The swelling can take a long time to subside. If the plastic surgery involved breaking nasal bones or nose reconstruction, it will add to the overall stress and result in greater swelling.

Final Outcomes

The persistence of swelling means it would take more time for ultimate results to show. Don’t worry if your nose appears a bit asymmetrical in the first week of healing. It will rectify itself by the end of the recovery process to become balanced and proportionate.

Your surgeon may decide to provide you with a steroid injection if the swelling continues bothering you after several months. Too much laughing, smiling, and blowing nose is not recommended during the first 1 – 2 weeks. The golden news is that the full beauty of your new nose will emerge giving you plenty to enjoy later.

Reducing Swelling After Rhinoplasty

Certain amount of swelling is expected with every surgical procedure. However, there are a few things you can do which can reduce swelling and improve comfort levels. For instance, you can apply ice to the swollen places. However, take care not to disturb the reshaped areas of the nose and your healing incisions.

Ice can help towards improving your comfort and calming swelling. However, you need to be careful while icing so as not to cause any harm to your skin. Always wrap ice in a clean kitchen t-shirt or towel. Never apply it directly to the skin. Apply the ice pack for only 10 – 15 minutes.

You should try and sleep with your head in an elevated position after the surgery. This will prevent any jostling motions as you sleep in addition to minimizing pressure and swelling. Make sure to drink a lot of water and rest as much as you can. You should increase your water intake to reduce swelling.

Don’t forget to take some time off work. Downtime allows your body’s involuntary healing systems to make use of a large portion of energy. This speeds up the healing process. You can expect to return to your normal work routine in about one week. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty

There is always a potential risk of infection after any type of surgery. Rhinoplasty is no exception to this, even though it is a relatively less invasive procedure. Nose reshaping plastic surgery involves creating tiny incisions. The skin acts as a natural barrier against infection causing bacteria. Any opening leaves the door wide open for pathogens to get in.

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides rhinoplasty to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.

Infection Signs and Symptoms

It is normal to experience mild pain and swelling following a nose job. However, when the pain and swelling become worse, it may be a sign of infection. This is especially when the pain and swelling make the affected area red and warm to touch with yellow or green fluid leaking from the incision.

You should see your surgeon as soon as possible if this and any other signs or symptoms are observed following the rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery. This is to prevent the spread of infection among other complications.

Infection Following Rhinoplasty

Greater understanding of infection cause and advances in surgical techniques has helped reduce the risk of infection following a nose reshaping surgery. Infection can occur even if your surgeon followed utmost care during surgery because of lacking aftercare.

Infections can occur whenever there is an opening or wound in the skin. The skin acts as a barrier and keeps the bacteria out. Damaged skin allows bacteria to enter which causes infection to occur. These are a few possible ways in which bacteria may enter the incision site:

In rare circumstances, bacteria may be introduced if there was a lack of proper sterilization during surgery. It may occur even if the skin around the area is not cleaned properly.

Minimizing the Risk of Infection

Reputable surgeons and teams take great precautions and care to keep the environment sterile while operating. In some cases, infection may be the result of issues with patient aftercare. This has made it important for patients to properly care for their sutures after the surgery. These are a few ways patients can reduce the risk of infection following a nose surgery:
