Liposuction
Liposuction, also referred to as lipoplasty or lipo, is a surgical procedure commonly performed to help patients push through the “last mile” of a weight loss or fitness-based body sculpting journey. If persistent, localized fat deposits are stopping you from achieving the slender, firm body contours you desire, you may be a candidate for liposuction in Beverly Hills at the prestigious practice of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Jacobson.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is intended to eliminate stubborn body fat that does not respond to a patient’s efforts to slim down by exercising regularly and following a healthy, calorically appropriate diet. However, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, as there are safety-related limitations to the total amount of fat that can be removed during lipoplasty. Instead, it is considered a body contouring surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
To be a good candidate for liposuction, you’ll need to be near your goal weight and able to maintain it without significant fluctuations. You must be generally healthy and willing to follow all pre and post-operative instructions given to you by Dr. Jacobson. It is particularly important that patients are able to abstain from smoking and vaping for four to six weeks before and after their lipo procedure.
What to Expect During Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction surgery begins with either local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s needs. Dr. Jacobson then makes the necessary incision(s) in the treatment area.
What to Expect After Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you will not need to stay at the surgical facility overnight. However, you’ll need someone to drive you home after your treatment due to mobility restrictions and the effects of the anesthesia.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
No two liposuction surgeries are the same, so there is not a single, set price for this treatment. In general, the cost of liposuction varies based on how many areas of the body are being targeted, the lipo technique(s) utilized, and the patient’s specific contouring goals.
