Struggling with stubborn fat deposits that refuse to budge no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not alone. At Desired Beauty in Bakersfield, California, we offer top-of-the-line liposuction treatments under the expert guidance of board-certified cosmetic surgeon Farzin Kerendian, DO, FACOS, FAACS.
Some of our most popular body contouring procedures using liposuction, include:
The Procedure: What Liposuction Entails
Liposuction is an established surgical procedure aimed at eliminating fat from targeted areas, thereby sculpting your body into a more streamlined shape. It addresses a multitude of areas, including but not limited to the neck, arms, back, abdomen, and thighs.
In this procedure, Dr. Kerendian makes a discreet, small incision at the target area. Special equipment is then used to dislodge and suction out unwanted fat cells, leading to the desired contouring and sculpting effect.
Awake Lipo: Liposuction with Local Anesthesia
One of the noteworthy aspects of liposuction at Desired Beauty in Bakersfield is the option for Awake Lipo. Many of our liposuction treatments can be conducted using local anesthesia, reducing both the downtime and the potential risks associated with general anesthesia. This makes liposuction a more viable option for those who might otherwise hesitate to undergo surgical procedures.
Ideal Candidates for Liposuction
Liposuction is renowned for being one of the safest forms of cosmetic surgery, but it’s not for everyone. To determine if you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure, Dr. Kerendian will review your medical history and weigh your treatment expectations. Suitable candidates typically:
- Are within 20 pounds of their ideal weight
- Are at a stable weight
- Enjoy good physical health
- Have skin with good elasticity
- Have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve
If liposuction isn’t the right fit for you, Dr. Kerendian will guide you towards other procedures that better align with your goals.
Post-Procedure: What to Anticipate
Recovery time varies among individuals, but many find that they can return to their routine within two weeks. Post-procedure, it’s common to have tubes inserted for draining fluids and to be given compression garments to control swelling. At Desired Beauty, we are committed to your care before, during, and after your procedure to ensure the best possible outcome and a smooth recovery.
