Are you considering liposuction to help with weight loss? At SSK Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Sean Kelishadi offers liposuction treatments that effectively remove stubborn fat and enhance body contours. Although liposuction may result in some weight loss, it is primarily a body contouring procedure designed to target and remove localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. If you want to sculpt and shape your body and are near your ideal weight, liposuction can be an excellent option to achieve a slimmer, more toned appearance.

How does liposuction work?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from targeted areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, or neck, to enhance body contours. The procedure involves making small incisions in the skin and inserting a thin tube, called a cannula, to suction out the fat. Liposuction focuses on body contouring rather than reducing your overall weight, which means it can help improve your shape but not necessarily lead to significant weight loss.

What are the benefits of liposuction for fat removal?

Liposuction treatment offers several benefits, especially if you are near your ideal weight but have stubborn fat that's hard to lose. Here are some of the key benefits of liposuction for fat removal:

  • Targets specific areas of resistant fat that don't respond to diet and exercise
  • Provides immediate improvement in body contour and shape
  • Offers a long-lasting solution for fat removal when combined with a healthy lifestyle

These benefits make liposuction a popular choice for individuals looking to enhance their appearance without undergoing a more extensive procedure. However, it's essential to have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not a solution for overall weight loss.

Is liposuction a permanent solution for weight loss?

While liposuction removes fat cells from the treated areas, it does not prevent you from gaining weight in the future. The remaining fat cells in your body can still expand if you gain weight. To maintain the results of liposuction treatment, it's important to follow a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips to help you keep your results:

  • Maintain a balanced diet to prevent weight gain
  • Engage in regular exercise to keep your body in shape
  • Monitor your weight to avoid fluctuations that can affect your results

By adhering to these guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of liposuction treatment for years to come and prevent the need for additional procedures.

Who should consider liposuction for stubborn fat removal?

Liposuction is ideal for patients close to their ideal weight but with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It's not suitable for individuals looking to lose a significant amount of weight or as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Good candidates for liposuction should:

  • Be in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about the results
  • Understand that liposuction is for contouring, not significant weight loss

If you fit these criteria, liposuction might be the right choice for you. It's always ideal to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Kelishadi at SSK Plastic Surgery to determine the most suitable treatment plan possible based on your unique needs.

Dr. Kelishadi is amazing!!! He made me feel so comfortable! I had Breast Augmentation  May 26th. I'm three months out and loving my results! I was very self conscious  about my chest. My breasts shrunk due to breast feeding. I didn't even want to change in front of my husband.  (he loved them no matter what lol) and now I am feeling so great about it! He said he's even noticed a boost in my confidence level. I love it! i feel good..i feel sexy. I never thought I  would actually go through with getting this done, but Dr. Kelishadi and his staff helped me with every step of the way. He was very caring and checked up on me after surgery. His staff was very nice as well. All so helpful! I highly recommend him!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have met the SSK team.  I initially started with the med spa team at SSK and knew that I needed to do a breast augmentation consultation there as well.  From beginning to end, every single doctor/nurse and even Valerie at the front desk, involved in my procedures reached out giving clear instructions and also daily check-ins after my breast aug surgery.   Their patient care is beyond incredible.  The team gives you all of the instructions pre and post op, and they even go as far as giving you a sweet post op bag including the cutest, softest, coziest jump suit to wear into and out of the hospital on surgery day.  I am so so pleased with the team’s attention to detail, but more importantly, they are an exceptional care team you want and need!  Thank you SSK!  -Steph

I recently had a breast revision/augmentation with a lift by Dr Kelishadi and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! He is known as the King of Cleavage and definitely lives up to the name. His staff is friendly, professional, and prompt to answer calls and respond to emails. It was also super nice and convenient having Dr Sherry as part of the team helping with all the medications ordered. On my pre op visit, I was given a bag with all the medications I would need for my surgery and recovery. Dr Sherry would text and make sure I didn’t have any questions which was so appreciated. After my surgery, Dr Kelishadi would call and check in to make sure I was doing well. If I had a questions or concerns, Dr Kelishadi would promptly call and answer all the questions I had. He is genuinely a great person and an amazing Surgeon that I would highly recommend.

I recently underwent a transformative experience at SSK Plastic Surgery, having a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and liposuction in the flanks and back. Being a mom to a 10 month old, I was pretty anxious about this procedure but right from my initial consultation, I was confident that I was in the hands of professionals who truly care. Now, just 3 days post-op, I caught a glimpse of my results and I’m beyond thrilled! Dr. Kalishadi’s skillful work has exceeded my expectations.On the day of the surgery, the entire team’s kindness helped alleviate any pre-surgery jitters. Dr. Kalishadi went above and beyond by personally reaching out to check on my recovery. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding results and genuine care. Also shout out to Dr. Sherry, Valerie and Brianna who were also lovely! Thank you all so much!

I recently underwent a breast revision procedure at SSK Plastic Surgery, and I must say that my experience far exceeded my expectations.  From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.  Here’s why I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelishadi for anyone considering breast revision: Dr. Kelishadi is an exceptional plastic surgeon.  From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Kelishadi displayed remarkable expertise and a genuine care for my well-being.  He took the time to listen to and provided me with detailed explanations of the procedure.  The entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery was welcoming, friendly and professional.  They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and their knowledge and expertise to my needs were remarkable.  One aspect that truly impressed me was the personalized approach they took throughout the entire journey.  I even worked with Dr. Sherrie for my hormones prior to surgery and needless to say I feel much better now.  I felt that she too was invested in my overall health.  Lastly, when it came to deciding the appropriate size for my revision, I had to place my trust in Dr. Kelishadi’s expertise and technique.  I discussed my desired goals with him, and he carefully assessed my body proportions, existing breast tissue and overall aesthetic balance.  Although I had initial apprehension about relinquishing control over to the size decision, I am thrilled to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  The size chosen by Dr. Kelishadi was absolutely perfect!  I would highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!
