Liposuction
in Beverly Hills
Liposuction has been widely used in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and around the world since the 1980s and remains the gold standard for addressing stubborn body fat. Lipo360, also known as lipocontouring, is a comprehensive technique that uses liposuction to contour and shape the body rather than simply removing fat. This approach involves artistic finesse to improve the patient’s overall physique by sculpting multiple areas simultaneously.
Whether focusing on a single body part with liposuction or adopting the holistic approach of Lipo360, these procedures effectively target minor and major bodily imperfections, often creating a dramatically more attractive and toned appearance. To ensure optimal outcomes, it’s essential to consult a world-class plastic surgeon like Dr. J.
What is Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. This technique is particularly effective for targeting stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional methods like diet and exercise. By eliminating these pockets of fat, liposuction surgery helps to improve body contours and create a more sculpted and toned appearance. Whether you’re struggling with fat around the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms, liposuction can offer a solution to achieve your desired physique.
Purpose of Liposuction Surgery
The primary purpose of liposuction surgery is to sculpt and refine the body’s shape by removing unwanted fat from targeted areas. Unlike weight loss methods, which aim to reduce overall body fat, liposuction focuses on specific regions to enhance body contours. This body contouring procedure is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. By addressing these stubborn areas, liposuction can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing physique.

Excess Fat Removal and Improved Body Contours
One of the most significant benefits of liposuction is the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body. This targeted approach helps to improve body contours and shape, resulting in a more toned and proportionate appearance. Additionally, liposuction can reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks, leading to smoother and more even skin. By addressing these common concerns, liposuction can enhance your overall body aesthetics and boost your confidence.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
Beyond the physical improvements, liposuction can have a profound impact on an individual’s self-confidence and self-esteem. By removing unwanted fat and refining body contours, liposuction helps individuals feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. This boost in self-confidence can positively affect various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional opportunities. Ultimately, the psychological benefits of liposuction can lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life, making it a worthwhile consideration for those struggling with stubborn fat deposits.
Why Consider Liposuction or Lipo360 for Body Contouring Procedures?
Certain areas of the body, such as the waistline, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, tend to accumulate fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. This stubborn fat often persists due to factors like hormonal imbalances involving testosterone, estrogen, and insulin. Liposuction and Lipo360 offer solutions to eliminate these fat deposits, enhancing body contours.
Maintaining a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term results and overall wellness post-procedure.

Liposuction vs. Lipo360
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a significant difference between liposuction and Lipo360:
Liposuction focuses on removing fat from one or two specific areas, such as the lower waist, flanks, upper arms, abdomen, or under the chin. For many patients, this localized approach is sufficient.Traditional liposuction serves as a foundational procedure, often compared to modern techniques like tumescent liposuction and SmartLipo, which enhance its effectiveness and precision.
Lipo360 is a more comprehensive and sculptural procedure. It involves removing strategic amounts of fat from multiple areas around the entire midsection. This circumferential approach allows for harmonious contouring of the body, creating the most attractive physique possible. Lipo360 enables surgeons like Dr. J to employ their aesthetic and medical expertise to maximize the beauty of a patient’s physique.
The liposuction procedure involves careful pre-operative preparations, including patient health assessments and weight goals. Recovery protocols are detailed to ensure optimal healing and results post-surgery.
It’s important to note that while liposuction and Lipo360 can produce amazing results, they have limitations. These procedures do not address cellulite, as they don’t target the fibrous connective cords that tether the skin to underlying tissue. Removing cellulite typically requires different treatments focused on cutting these cords.
What About Liposuction Alternatives for Stubborn Fat Deposits?
Some practitioners offer nonsurgical techniques for fat removal, such as hormone replacement therapy. However, the effectiveness of these alternatives for eliminating stubborn fat remains uncertain. Currently, liposuction procedures are the only proven method for removing persistent fat deposits in specific areas.
Liposuction targets fat cells to achieve desired body contours.
Liposuction and Lipo360 with Dr. J
Dr. Payam Jarrah-Nejad, known as Dr. J, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with a worldwide following. Based in Beverly Hills, he is highly respected and sought after for his expertise in liposuction and Lipo360. The cost of liposuction can vary, and consultations are essential to provide tailored pricing and better understand individual aesthetic goals.
Dr. J’s approach to Lipo360 allows him to use his surgical acumen and keen eye for aesthetics to transform a patient’s overall appearance. Rather than focusing on a single area, he aims to create a more beautiful whole. The improvements may be dramatic, yet natural-looking, leaving others unable to pinpoint exactly what has changed. This subtle enhancement aligns with Dr. J’s philosophy that great plastic surgery should be evident to the patient while appearing harmonious and unnoticeable to others.
While liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia to mitigate pain during the surgery, some discomfort may be experienced post-surgery, which is manageable with appropriate medication.

Anesthesia Used During Liposuction and Lipo360
These procedures typically require general anesthesia, especially for Lipo360, which involves multiple areas and longer surgery time. For smaller, localized liposuction treatments, local anesthesia may be an option. Dr. J will discuss the anesthesia plan to ensure patient comfort and safety.
The Surgical Process
Prior to surgery, any necessary pre-operative labs or medical clearances will be obtained. On the day of the procedure, Dr. J will mark the areas for fat removal while the patient is standing. During surgery, a board-certified anesthesiologist will be present to monitor anesthesia. Tummy tuck surgery can be combined with liposuction for enhanced results, especially for patients with excess fat and skin. Dr. J utilizes power-assisted liposuction (PAL), which employs a vibrating cannula to partially liquefy fat before removal. This method is faster and gentler than other techniques, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and minimizing risks associated with heat-based procedures.
Liposuction Recovery
After surgery, patients will receive detailed post-operative instructions, including prescriptions for antibiotics and pain management. Mild discomfort is common, and medications like acetaminophen may suffice.
Patients typically need to rest for about a week before resuming non-strenuous activities. Vigorous exercise should be avoided until Dr. J provides clearance, usually several weeks post-procedure.
Follow-up appointments will monitor the healing process. Patients will wear compression garments for up to six weeks to support skin retraction and optimal recovery. Additional garment use may be advised for up to three months.
Liposuction Results
Initial results become visible a few weeks after surgery as swelling subsides, with full results appearing over several months. Patients can expect a more contoured and toned appearance. Before-and-after photos are available to showcase the outcomes achieved by Dr. J.
Choosing Dr. J
Selecting a qualified and experienced surgeon is crucial for safety and satisfaction. Dr. J is double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, maintaining rigorous standards in both fields to ensure comprehensive expertise.
