Liposuction Before & After Case 166

This 30-year-old woman wanted to have a more ideal figure by trimming down her thighs and hips. She looked for a plastic surgeon who could help her with these troublesome areas. She made an appointment with one of the surgeons at Dr. Stoker's practice to find out more about liposuction.

After consulting with her doctor, this patient decided to undergo power-assisted liposuction in the areas with which she was most uncomfortable. During power-assisted liposuction, an electric motor moves the liposuction cannula (the tool used to remove fatty deposits) in specific patterns in order to increase the cannula's efficiency. Many surgeons find that power-assisted liposuction makes the procedure easier to complete.

For this patient, her surgeon was able to successfully slim down her thighs, hips, and butt to create a thinner, more streamlined look. In the "after" photos, the patient's thighs are much thinner and her hips and butt appear smoother and straighter without the extra bulges on her thighs. After the surgery, this patient was very happy with the results and glad that she had come to Dr. Stoker's practice in Los Angeles for liposuction.
