Liposuction Before & After Case 172

This 36-year-old woman was unhappy with her body shape and wanted to look fitter and younger. Wanting to find a surgeon in Los Angeles who does liposuction, this patient came to Dr. Stoker's practice to meet with a talented surgeon in order to discuss her options.

During her consultation, she and her surgeon decided that power-assisted liposuction could help her to look younger and healthier. Power-assisted liposuction is a specific type of liposuction where an electric motor oscillates the cannula, or the tool used to remove fat, so that the fat can be removed faster and the surgeon can target areas more precisely.

By using power-assisted liposuction alone, her surgeon was able to shed the excess weight on her flanks thighs, and stomach, giving her a smoother and more even-looking frame. Although this patient isn't a size two, the "after" photos show a dramatic decrease in the amount of fat on her body. As a result, her new figure appears years younger than it did in the "before" photos, giving her a fresher and healthier appearance. She was very happy with the results of her plastic surgery and glad that she had chosen Dr. Stoker's practice to complete the procedure.
