Liposuction Procedure Services

Take Control of Your Shape

Liposuction, or lipo, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. This procedure can allow you to make a tremendous change to your body and your outlook on life.

Let’s face it; you know the real you is ready to step up and be confident in career and social situations, but you want to look your best while doing so. Today, liposuction is a well-known and effective option that can help.

Thousands of men and women take control of their shape each year with this safe surgery. If diet and exercise have failed to reduce areas of unwanted fat on your body, then liposuction at WestCoast Lipo may provide the help you need and the solutions you want.

Learn More About Lipo

Let’s explore more about what liposuction is and how it can help you and WestCoast Lipo’s approach to this procedure.

Liposuction is designed to improve body shape and remove stubborn fat from areas such as the face and neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, knees, calves, ankles and male breasts. At WestCoast Lipo, we have helped individuals throughout the United States and internationally to have a slimmer shape and sleeker body contour with the Tumescent Liposuction Technique.*

Recent studies have shown that tumescent liposuction is one of the safest of all cosmetic surgery procedures. At WestCoast Lipo, we use the tumescent technique which separates the fat from the muscle layer with a large solution of saline and anesthesia.

Once this fluid layer is created, it becomes easy to suction the fat from under the skin using a thin cannula (a thin metal straw) inserted through tiny holes in the skin. For example, in the abdomen, we may use as few as two small holes in hidden areas to complete the liposuction.*

Liposuction is a way to change what genetics may have (unfairly) given you regarding your body’s proportion.

Again, liposuction is one of the safest cosmetic surgeries around. It is done while you are fully awake under local anesthesia. After the procedure, you will be able to comfortably walk out of our office and engage in light activity. We have chosen the safest most effective means of fat removal and the latest power-assisted machines to make the process simpler and easier.

Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo™)

Laser Liposuction, or SmartLipo™, is a unique addition to regular liposuction designed to help easily melt away fat and tighten skin all without the risks of general anesthesia. Most people can resume normal activities within 3-4 days.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?

Liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercising properly. However, it is extremely effective in removing fat in areas that just do not respond to traditional weight-reduction methods. At our facility, liposuction candidates typically meet the following criteria:

• Have tried diet and exercise
• Have excess fat in specific areas
• Are within normal weight for their height
• Are in generally good health
• Have reasonably good elasticity in their skin

We pride ourselves on our open and honest dialogue with each of our patients and strive to provide every patient with all of the information and options they need to make the most informed and appropriate decision possible to achieve their aesthetic goals.

Military Liposuction

Some military personnel turn to the surgical procedure of removing excess fat from their waists in a desperate attempt to pass the Pentagon’s body fat test, which relies on measurements of the neck and waist and can determine their prospects in the military.

According to the New York Daily News, the number of Army soldiers booted for being overweight has jumped tenfold in the past five years from 168 in 2008 to 1,815. In the Marine Corps, the figure nearly doubled from 102 in 2010 to 186 in 2011 but dropped to 132 last year.

At WestCoast Lipo, we know how stressful the PRT (Physical Readiness Test) can be. This test can make the difference in the personnel’s next promotion, getting a demerit, or being discharged from the military. The "tape test," measuring the side of the waist, is a very important part of PRT.

If you are genetically disadvantaged and are fighting to pass this measurement test despite all the effort of exercise and training, we can help. At WestCoast Lipo, we can help reduce your waist size by up to 6 sizes in one session. Give us a call today for a FREE evaluation, consultation, and quote!
