Developing Your Treatment Plan

Liposuction should not be performed as a standalone procedure in patients with skin laxity due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. 

During your consultation, Dr. Ackerman ensures you are healthy enough for surgery. You can review our before-and-after photo gallery to develop a clearer understanding of your aesthetic goals.

What to Expect on the Day of Liposuction Surgery

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.

Combining My Liposuction with Other Procedures

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.

Liposuction Recovery

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.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost in Newport Beach, CA?

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.

Liposuction FAQ’S

Patient Reviews

    Life changing facelift!

    Dr. Ackerman did a deep plane facelift, a lip lift, and a brow lift on me. I was about to turn 60 and I figured it would be now or never. I have struggled with a thin face and started having substantial sagging and Fillers were beginning to make me look unnatural and pillowy. I am thrilled to be able to say that I couldn’t be happier.

    Amazing Experience

    Immediately after seeing 3 other plastic surgeons for consultation, my parents and I knew Dr. Ackerman was the surgeon for us. He has an amazing and trustworthy staff, who we felt very welcomed by. When we met with him so he could give me a consultation for my nose, he was very honest about some of the setbacks that may come with my particular surgery.

    Excellent results and experience!

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Boris Ackerman and his team! I came to him for a facelift, eyebrow lift, and a revision rhinoplasty, and from start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. Dr. Ackerman is not only incredibly skilled and precise, but he also has an artistic eye that made all the difference in my results.

    Like refreshed versions of themselves

    Dr. Ackerman is an exceptional surgeon. I had reviewed his before-and-after photos beforehand, and it was clear that his patients looked like refreshed versions of themselves—not like entirely different people. That was exactly the outcome I wanted, and it’s exactly what I received.

    That decision exceeded every expectation.

    “I absolutely love Dr Boris Ackerman. I cannot recommend my plastic surgeon highly enough. He performed my original facelift when I was 45, and 20 years later, I trusted him again for an updated procedure—and that decision exceeded every expectation.” Mary R
