Candidates for
liposuction in Marin County are patients who have excess
subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise, or those
who wish to change the contours of their body. Areas commonly treated
with liposuction include: the anterior part of the neck (under the chin),
upper arms and armpits, male chest/breasts, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips,
thighs, inner knees, calves and ankles. Most patients of near normal
weight that desire permanent contour changes, or patients who are of
average weight with localized fat collections and healthy elastic skin
are the best candidates for liposuction in Marin County.

Liposuction is most commonly performed in our accredited surgery center
under general anesthesia. In some cases, when larger volumes are anticipated,
surgery is done at the hospital with an overnight stay. Depending on
the areas to be treated, different techniques may be employed such as
ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty.
