Los Angeles Liposuction
At her office in Pasadena, Los Angeles liposuction surgeon Gloria de Olarte, M.D. offers her skill to those who are good candidates for body contouring surgery. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), Dr. de Olarte is well-regarded as a female plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience.
Dr. de Olarte is a member of many professional organizations, such as the:
- American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- California Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS)
- Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons (LASPS)
She has been chief of plastic surgery at several local hospitals, and believes that informing prospective patients prior to their decision-making process regarding liposuction ("lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy") is extremely important. Therefore, the following information can be helpful as you research the procedure.
Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess, unwanted fat from localized areas of the body. Good candidates are those who wish to sculpt the body to create more attractive contours, and are within their normal weight range and without stretch marks. Their skin must also have good tone in order to shrink.
If you are a good candidate, liposuction can help you achieve attractive, body-contoured results on areas such as the:
- Hips
- Thighs
- Knees
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Neck
- Back
- Waist
However, if you have wrinkling, stretch marks, and extra, hanging skin, liposuction may not be for you; skin removal would then be more appropriate for correcting your condition.
Many patients inquire about liposuction of the abdomen, a procedure that can be performed by Dr. de Olarte. However, many patients who wish to slenderize the midsection are better suited for a tummy tuck procedure, particularly if their abdominal skin is sagging and their muscles are stretched. Because of her success in performing both liposuction and a tummy tuck at her Pasadena / Los Angeles practice Dr. de Olarte can help you determine which of these procedures is right for you.
Additionally, if you are interested in optimizing your results with a facial or breast procedure, such as facelift surgery or breast augmentation, Los Angeles / Pasadena professional Dr. de Olarte can help to determine if these procedures will meet your goals.
Before and after plastic surgery photos of our patients can be helpful as you research the procedure you desire. Our patient testimonials may be of interest to you as well.
To discuss your liposuction options with Dr. de Olarte, you can schedule a free consultation. Our staff will be happy to arrange this appointment for you.
