A 31-year-old female came to our Torrance office wishing to reduce excess abdominal fat. Although she had recently started an improved exercise regime and diet, she was interested in cosmetic intervention. After a consultation, we recommended liposuction of her tummy, flanks, and bra bulges. Liposuction is now performed under local tumescent anesthesia making the procedure safer and minimizing recovery. Six months after a single tumescent liposuction session, she is thrilled by her reduced fat and tighter torso. She feels better exercising, is more motivated to stick with a healthy diet and has not regained weight.
