San Diego Liposuction

Men and women who have adopted a healthy diet and regular exercise routine do not always benefit completely from their efforts; it is common for localized fat deposits to remain. Those struggling with their last few problem areas may want to consider liposuction. Near Carlsbad, San Diego plastic surgeon Carol Hollan, M.D., F.A.C.S. performs this body enhancing procedure at her accredited surgical facility, the La Jolla Center for Surgery.

Liposuction Information

Dr. Hollan creates personalized treatment plans for her patients, offering the most up-to-date methods of liposuction surgery ("lipoplasty"). This includes VASER ® liposelection and tumescent liposuction.

VASER liposuction is a fine tuning technique for body shaping and providing better proportion. It is performed with a long, solid rod called a cannula, which has an ultrasound probe on the end to break down fat. This allows Dr. Hollan to easily glide through liquefied fat and remove excess fatty tissue in a more even manner. Oftentimes, tumescent lipoplasty is combined with the VASER method in order to provide the patient with less bleeding, bruising, and pain post-surgery. San Diego liposuction surgeon Dr. Hollan pre-injects the target area with a salt water and anesthetic solution when performing tumescent liposuction.

The most commonly targeted areas that the liposuction procedure can treat include the upper arms, abdomen, hips, flanks, and thighs. Dr. Hollan also performs facial liposuction for the chin and neck areas. She has the "unique ability to envision the final results of her skills long before she begins a procedure."

If you would like to attain a flatter midsection, our liposuction surgeon also offers tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"). By removing excess skin and fat, while tightening the underlying muscles, Dr. Hollan can help you to produce a better-contoured abdomen.

To see pictures of her patient results, individuals can request before and after photos during the consultation. Patient testimonials are also available to read, which communicates her personality and value of the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Hollan and her personally selected all-female staff offer a warm and caring environment.

Board Certified Liposuction Doctor

Dr. Hollan has the training and experience to perform liposuction at her practice. She is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), as well as a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). In addition, Dr. Hollan takes great pride in being the first female plastic surgeon to be board certified by the ABPS in San Diego County.
