This 41-year-old nurse wanted to improve her figure by undergoing liposuction in Los Angeles on both her torso and arms. She scheduled a consultation with a Los Angeles plastic surgeon at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates to see what options were available. With the help of her surgeon, she decided to have power-assisted liposuction, where an electric motor creates specific movement with the liposuction cannula to remove excess fat deposits more easily.

After the procedure, this patient enjoyed a rapid recovery. Her torso and legs appear dramatically slimmer and smoother and her arms are much thinner in the “after” photos. Also, the folds that were present in the “before” photos are completely gone, leaving her torso looking much more even. When asked after the surgery, she said that she was very happy with the results, saying that the transformation in her figure had a profound, positive impact on her self-esteem. Now she could feel more comfortable with her appearance, whether she was on the job or in a swimsuit.
