Liposuction Before & After Case 164

This 27-year-old woman and her roommate both wanted to improve their figures in order to feel more confident in general and when wearing their swimsuits. They both came to Dr. Stoker's practice to have liposuction. In Los Angeles, Dr. Stoker sees many patients who want to feel more comfortable in their swimsuits. Liposuction is one of the common ways these surgeons help their patients achieve the results they desire.

This woman and her roommate underwent power-assisted liposuction to help slim them down for bikini season. In this technique, an electric motor helps the surgeon remove fatty deposits more easily, sometimes allowing the surgery to be completed in far less time.

In the "after" photos, this woman appears to have dropped a few pant sizes after her procedure. Her body is thinner and smoother without having undergone a more drastic surgery like a tummy tuck. As a result of her plastic surgery, she felt more comfortable in a bathing suit following the surgery, as illustrated here in the post-operative picture where bikini tan lines are clearly visible.
