San Diego and La Jolla Liposuction Surgery
Even those who regularly diet and exercise are susceptible to developing small pockets of fat in the abdomen, thighs, hips, upper arms, and other areas. Dr. Mark Mofid can use liposuction to sculpt the body by sucking away unwanted fat deposits, leaving sleek, slender body contours behind. Learn more about liposuction surgery by scheduling a consultation at Dr. Mofid's La Jolla and San Diego-area offices. Liposuction surgery with his gentle and effective approach yields excellent patient results.
Candidates
Liposuction can remove small, localized concentrations of fat in specific areas such as the thighs and abdomen, but it is not an effective weight control treatment. In most cases, 10 pounds of fat or less will be removed. Because of this limitation, patients who are of healthy weight yet have stubborn deposits of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise are the best candidates for liposuction surgery. For these patients, liposuction is an ideal means of contouring the body into a pleasing shape that enhances the patient's natural curves without sacrificing a natural look.
Procedure
Most people are aware that liposuction involves the suction of fat through a tube. Fewer understand how much liposuction techniques have advanced since the surgery's introduction. It is now possible for Dr. Mofid to make the liposuction process simple and seamless through an effective approach that targets problem areas while respecting the delicacy of the body's tissues. Dr. Mofid performs this procedure at one of several licensed surgery centers in La Jolla and elsewhere in San Diego. Liposuction surgery produces excellent results with minimal downtime; to learn more, contact the plastic surgery office of Dr. Mark Mofid.
Results
The full results of liposuction will be visible several months after the surgery as the body grows accustomed to its new contours. During this time, skin will tighten around the treated area and swelling will subside. Liposuction scars are small and usually Dr. Mark Mofid is able to place them in areas where they will not be noticeable. These scars begin to fade just a few weeks after surgery. Before long, liposuction patients are able to enjoy the new confidence they have in their bodies. When patients finally feel comfortable in their own skin, the difference is evident in everything they do.
Male Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, or male breast overdevelopment, is a common condition that affects up to 60 percent of men. Men with Gynecomastia have excess breast tissue due to genetics, medical problems, drugs, or for unexplained reasons. Fortunately, men can receive Gynecomastia treatment by undergoing liposuction at Dr. Mofid’s practice. To begin this procedure, tiny incisions are made in each breast. Excess fat is then suctioned out through a small liposuction tool known as a cannula, creating a more masculine appearance in the chest area. Dr. Mofid may opt to excise glandular tissue as part of Gynecomastia treatment. After this procedure, many men feel more confident about their bodies and are no longer afraid to expose their chests.
