You exercise and follow a nutritious diet, making wellness and health a priority in your life. Yet no matter how hard you try, you might still be dealing with certain parts of your body that feature stubborn little fat deposits, be it on your tummy or hips, ankles or thighs. It’s frustrating right? You probably also know that one simply cannot spot reduce and that genetics play a huge role and how fat is distributed in the body. But there’s help. Liposuction at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in California can offer an excellent solution for getting rid of pesky, exercise-immune fat. Here are some common facts about the procedure.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction, also called lipoplasty, lipectomy, liposculpture suction, or lipo, reduces the number of fat cells in isolated areas. It is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body such as the face, chin, neck, tummy, hips, calves or ankles. Nowadays, there are several different types of liposuction, but basically the excess fat is removed from under the skin via a suction device known as a cannula.
The procedure is performed in a hospital or in an office under general or local anesthesia, depending on the area and type of liposuction. The cannula is inserted into small incisions between the skin and the muscles, removing excess fat by either using the suction pump or a syringe. The results are subtle but can be quite dramatic!
Liposuction is now the most common cosmetic operation in the United States. About half a million are performed every year with the average procedure cost ranging from about $2,000 to $3,500.
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is no substitute for healthy weight loss but a cosmetic procedure with subtle body-shaping effects. It is recommended for individuals that are not obese, in good health, who have not achieved desired fat-reduction results via healthy lifestyle changes and who want to target small areas of fat deposits that are resistant to exercise and diet. Liposuction is a great option for people with good skin tone and skin elasticity. This will allow the skin to mold itself into its improved new contours.
Typical Areas Ideal for Targeting via Liposuction
Keep in mind that liposuction is a cosmetic treatment to improve your appearance as opposed to a health-focused modality. The following areas are most commonly addressed by the treatment, with remarkable results:
- Neck and “double-chin”
- Chest
- Upper Arms
- Belly
- Hips
- Flanks or “love handles”
- Back
- Buttocks
- Inner / Outer thighs (“saddlebags”)
- Inner knees

Praise for excellence

Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!
Best Clinic and best Dr is Mr. Martinez

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
