Precision Body Sculpting
Sometimes, no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise, there’s always some stubborn fat that just won’t go away. Liposuction can target these areas to give clients a smoother, more sculpted body.
Dr. Boris M. Ackerman offers liposuction treatment plans in Newport Beach for patients across Orange County who want better definition in areas that haven’t responded to diet or exercise. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s anatomy to create smoother transitions, better balance, and a more sculpted silhouette that still looks like you.
View Before & Afters
Liposuction is a permanent body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat from the body that doesn’t respond to healthy habits.
Dr. Ackerman uses advanced liposuction methods to remove extra fat and shape smoother, more natural-looking contours.
The best candidates for liposuction are healthy people who are near their ideal weight but have areas of fat that don’t respond to regular weight-loss methods. Good candidates are those who:

Dr. Ackerman performs liposuction on an outpatient basis. Usually, the surgery is performed under twilight anesthesia. The time it takes to complete this procedure depends on the number of areas being treated and the amount of correction needed.
There are a few methods for performing liposuction. Dr. Ackerman prefers a tumescent method with a “power-assisted” device. A tumescent solution is injected into the treatment areas to help break up fat deposits.
Dr. Ackerman creates tiny incisions along the natural creases around the target location. A cannula (thin hollow tube) is inserted beneath the skin through the incisions. After gently moving the cannula to separate fat cells from other tissues, a suction device permanently removes the fat.
Many patients in Newport and Orange County choose to combine their liposuction with other body-contouring treatments for more complete and balanced results.
A tummy tuck is often performed with liposuction to remove excess skin from the abdomen and tighten weakened muscles. Liposuction also helps clients shape their waist and other nearby areas for a smoother, firmer look.
Fat removed during your liposuction procedure can be purified and strategically transferred to other areas of your body or face to help restore volume and improve contours. Common treatment areas include the buttocks, hips, face, and breasts.
Liposuction is often part of bigger body contouring surgeries after weight loss. When combined with arm lifts, thigh lifts, or body lifts, it can improve clients’ overall shape and help them create a gentler transition between their treated areas.
Your Guide to Post-Liposuction Care
Dr. Ackerman carefully performs liposuction to ensure a speedy recovery for his patients. Bandages are initially placed over the incisions, and compression garments are worn to reduce swelling. Most patients can return to work after a couple of days, but they should avoid strenuous activities and exercises for at least two weeks to ensure a safe and proper recovery.
Dr. Ackerman will provide you with individualized recovery instructions that specify when to change your bandages, when to shower, and the types of activities you can engage in.
The cost of liposuction in Newport Beach and the greater Orange County area varies based on the number of treatment areas, the amount of fat removed, and whether liposuction is combined with other procedures. Other factors, such as anesthesia, surgical facility fees, and postoperative garments, may also affect the total price.
