Liposuction in Pasadena

Laser liposuction provides surgeons with enhanced fat removal techniques that outperform the results of traditional lipo. Using laser-assisted equipment, the surgeons at Sono Bello in Pasadena can more easily extract fat, resulting in less postoperative discomfort and swelling. The laser used in TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction additionally helps to promote better skin contraction.  

At Sono Bello, we also use localized anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, which is used for most traditional liposuction procedures. The use of localized anesthesia keeps patients awake and comfortable during the procedure and minimizes risk and recovery time.  

Liposuction can help remove stubborn fat from body areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. For many people, liposuction helps to contour the body and create more defined curves, resulting in better fitting clothes, enhanced overall appearance, and improved confidence. Many patients find that liposuction is a great starting point for lifestyle changes like improving physical fitness and diet.

Most patients can return to work within 2-3 days after liposuction. The recovery time can vary depending on the specific areas treated and the extent of the procedure. For more extensive procedures, such as a combination of liposuction and skin removal, full recovery might take slightly longer. Your surgeon will give you personalized guidance based on your treatment plan.

The results from laser liposuction are considered permanent because the fat cells that are removed do not grow back. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet is crucial to preserving these results long-term. While the fat cells that are removed won’t return, weight gain can affect other areas of your body.
