Laser Liposuction
Conveniently located to serve the areas of West Covina, CA
Liposuction plastic surgery began in 1980 when French and Swiss physicians first presented their techniques of “lipolysis.” Although at the time their development was considered revolutionary, by today’s standards their methods now seem almost primitive. Since every person’s situation differs, there is no one perfect method for liposuction although the newer innovations have improved the overall optimal outcome. With so many variations available, as with any surgery the most important factor when considering a cosmetic procedure is the expertise and experience of the surgeon performing the work.
From his state-of-the-art facility, Shine Cosmetic Surgery located in Los Angeles, Dr. Daniel H. Lin is a Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery as well as a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. He is committed and passionate about staying current on all advances and technology and his medical training and artist’s eye will give you the results and quick recovery you deserve when having cosmetic surgery.
