If you are looking for a body contouring procedure with definitive results, you will not find a more reliable process than liposuction! When considering a liposuction procedure, it is essential that you find a surgeon who is a respected professional. Here at Shine Cosmetic Surgery, you only need to read the countless positive reviews of Dr. Daniel Lin, D.O. to be convinced that there is no better place to receive liposuction in the West Covina, CA area! Our team of medical professionals and assistants are committed to providing the best liposuction services around.
At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we perform liposuction under either general or local anesthesia, which means that the client will be either asleep or relaxed for the procedure’s entire duration, around one to two hours. However, before we can begin with a liposuction treatment, we will have an initial consultation with the client and our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Lin, D.O., to ensure that the client can safely receive liposuction and can develop a treatment plan. This consultation will consist of a discussion of the client’s medical history, medication use, treatment goals, and an analysis of the treatment area. During this analysis, the doctor will mark out the areas on your body where liposuction will be performed.
After the consultation, we can move forward with treatment and place the client under general anesthesia. Once the anesthesia has taken hold, Dr. Daniel Lin, D.O. and his medical assistants will make small incisions in the treatment area. He will then insert a cannula tube through these incisions, which is a plastic tubing used for the removal of fluid from the body, into the subcutaneous fat and the deep fascia. Either a suction device or a syringe will be attached to the plastic tubing to extract the targeted fatty tissue. Once a safe amount of fat has been removed, Dr. Daniel Lin, D.O. and his assistants might stitch the incisions back together to conclude the procedure. After liposuction, you will need assistance in getting home and in your recovery. As such, we recommend that you arrange with a close friend or family member to be available to take you home and stay with you as you recover.
While complete recovery from liposuction may not occur for one to two months after the procedure, most clients can return to work within one week and normal activities within two weeks. You may still experience some swelling in the treatment area after two weeks, for which we may recommend wearing a compression garment to control the swelling if it is necessary to do so. You will also most likely experience moderate pain in the first few days following liposuction, but Dr. Daniel Lin, D.O. will prescribe you with some pain medication to help manage your discomfort.
While stomach liposuction is the most common liposuction area, many areas of the body can safely receive liposuction. These areas include the abdomen, ankles, back, buttocks, calves, chest, chin, hips, neck, thighs, and upper arms. In some cases, liposuction can also be used to treat gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue.
