When people think of liposuction, they might believe it only removes extra fat from the body to make a person look and feel lighter.
While that is true, liposuction is also used to help solve other, more embarrassing problems in both men and women.
For example, Gynecomastia, which is the enlargement of breast tissue in men, can affect up to 70% of males during puberty. Although that’s a regular occurrence due to hormonal changes, once a male is a full adult, they should “grow out of it.” But some don’t see any changes even beyond puberty. On the other side, up to 65% of older men can also experience Gynecomastia. It’s associated with low testosterone or “low T” and many men between the ages of 50 – 80 experience it.
In cases like these, liposuction can help by removing the breast tissue and restoring a man to a more natural appearance.
Liposuction can also help alleviate Lymphedema, a condition in which excess lymph fluid creates uncomfortable swelling of the arms and legs. People may try compression socks and massage to help, but sometimes, it’s not enough. Liposuction can help remove excess tissue and bring relief.
Finally, West Los Angeles locals suffering from lipomas can benefit from liposuction. Many tumors are non-cancerous or benign. Lipoma are fatty lumps under the skin that may feel soft and doughy. This condition can be painless, but sometimes, a lump near a nerve center could create discomfort. And the person may also be embarrassed by them. It may be essential to understand that lipoma can be caused by genetics as well. Either way, Liposuction can help Los Angeles residents lose these fatty and uncomfortable lumps.
Expert Liposuction in West Los Angeles is Only a Short Trip to Beverly Hills
If an L.A. resident is ready to look at liposuction for any reason, our clinic has surgical options such as:
- H.D. Liposuction: The process involves a cannula, or thin tube, inserted via small incisions and suction fat from targeted areas like the stomach, hips, thighs, and arms.
- Awake Liposuction is minimally invasive and managed while the patient is awake. It can help handle stubborn fat deposits after a rigorous diet and exercise.
And treatments can be used for the face as well as the body. Sometimes men and women can struggle with excess neck fat, also known as a “double chin.” Again, this can happen due to genetics, weight gain, hormonal and other health issues too. Liposuction can help clean up and define the chin line.
Our clinic staff is always available to discuss how liposuction could solve a specific problem. Whether it’s to help solve a genetic, hormonal, or cosmetic issue, Dr. Ariel Ourian and his clinic team are here to support West Los Angeles and every L.A. Basin resident.
