Liposuction
Los Angeles is one of the most body-conscious cities in the world. As a result, plastic surgery is extremely common, for both men and women. Being trim and fit is an important, which is why liposuction is such a popular procedure among residents. Everyone wants to lose an extra pound here or there, and liposuction achieves that goal.
Tummy Tuck
Hollywood celebrities are famous for snapping back into shape after childbirth. Sometimes it’s genetics and exercise, but other times it’s the classic tummy tuck they have to thank. Getting back to their pre-baby body is an important goal, and abdominoplasty helps Angelenos get there.

Body Contouring Frequently Asked Questions
-
Am I a Candidate for Body Contouring?
Not every patient qualifies for body contouring. If patients are too overweight or unhealthy, the procedure is not right for them. Body contouring can’t remove large chunks of fat without putting a significantly overweight person at risk for complications, so a person needs to be as close to their goal weight as possible. Most frequently, body contouring is used to assist patients who have tried everything to lose those last few pounds but haven’t had any success. People who might be ideal candidates include:
- Patients who have lost a lot of weight and have a lot of extra skin.
- Patients who are at or close to their goal weight.
- Patients who have realistic goals about what the treatment will accomplish.
- Patients who don’t smoke.

-
Are There Any Restrictions After Body Contouring?
Because most body contouring procedures are invasive procedures, patients can expect to have several restrictions after their procedure. In most cases, patients will need to have someone drive them home from the office and be prepared to relax for the rest of the day. Additionally, patients will need to take it easy by staying home from work for up to two weeks, skipping physical activity for a few weeks, and not smoking the entire time they are healing.
The exact restrictions patients will face depends on what procedures they had done. Dr. Sanders will provide specific recovery instructions personalized to each patient, and they should follow these to facilitate their aftercare experience.

How Long After My Body Contouring Procedure Can I Return to Exercise?
How quickly a patient can get back to exercise after a body contouring procedure all depends on what treatments they had as well as their individual recovery progress. Not every patient heals at the same rate, meaning it really varies on how fast a person can return to physical activity. Additionally, certain procedures, such as a tummy tuck or mommy makeover, will have longer recovery times than an arm lift. As a general guideline, patients who have undergone a more extensive procedure like a tummy tuck, thigh lift, or mommy makeover need to wait 4 weeks before resuming exercise, whereas an arm lift or liposuction patient may resume light exercise after two weeks.
