Liposuction in Beverly Hills
Refine selected areas with a personalized contouring plan.
Liposuction removes localized fat from selected areas to change body contours. Dr. Henry plans treatment around your anatomy, skin quality, and goals. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure and does not remove significant loose skin.
CONTOUR YOUR APPEARANCE
What Liposuction can address
Liposuction may be used to contour areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, arms, thighs, or other selected locations. Treatment may focus on one area or several areas. “Lipo 360” generally refers to contouring around the abdomen, flanks, and back; the exact areas depend on the individual plan.
Dr. Henry’s plan is shaped around your anatomy, concerns, health history, and the result you want to see. The consultation also covers what the procedure can and cannot address.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Who may be a good candidate?
01
02
Localized areas of fat
Skin quality is part of planning
Your concern is a selected area that remains despite changes in diet and activity.
Skin elasticity and laxity affect which contouring options may be appropriate.
Candidacy can only be determined after a medical history, examination, and discussion of your goals. Smoking or nicotine use, unstable health conditions, and unrealistic expectations may affect whether or when surgery is appropriate.
Candidacy depends on overall health, stable weight, skin quality, and localized areas of fat that respond poorly to changes in diet and activity. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and cannot guarantee a particular shape or amount of fat removal.

01/ AREAS
Fat transfer and combination plans
In selected cases, removed fat may be prepared for transfer to another area, such as the buttocks or breasts. Liposuction may also be combined with skin-removal surgery when appropriate like a tummy tuck or body lift. Whether to combine or stage procedures depends on your goals, anatomy, health, and overall surgical plan.
03/ ENHANCEMENTS
Awake or asleep options
Awake and asleep liposuction options are available. The choice depends on your health, treatment areas, extent of surgery, preferences, and surgical setting. Dr. Henry will discuss the specific anesthesia plan, its limits, risks, and monitoring with you. Click here to learn more!
02/ ANESTHESIA
Skin quality and loose skin
Liposuction removes selected fat; it does not remove excess skin. Skin elasticity and the amount of laxity influence the contour that may be possible. When there is only mild skin laxity, Renuvion may be the best choice. If severe loose skin is a main concern, Dr. Henry may discuss a skin-removal procedure such as a tummy tuck for best results.
04/ SEVERE SKIN LAXITY
AWAKE OR ASLEEP SURGERY
Two anesthesia pathways. One individualized decision.
The choice depends on the treatment areas, extent of surgery, your health, preferences, and the surgical setting. Dr. Henry will explain the plan, limits, and risks for your case.

YOUR RECOVERY
Healing happens in stages.
Recovery varies with the treatment areas, the extent of liposuction, anesthesia plan, and whether other procedures are performed. Bruising, swelling, drainage, temporary changes in sensation, and discomfort may occur. Dr. Henry’s current aftercare guidance includes a compression garment, follow-up visits, and activity restrictions; the timing and details are individualized. Your surgical team will give you specific instructions for garments, incision care, activity, and follow-up.

NEXT STEPS
Give your body time to settle.
Soreness, swelling, bruising, and drainage from the small incision sites are common early in recovery. Wear your faja full-time as directed, and use a BBL pillow if it is part of your plan. Keep activity light and follow your care instructions.
Comfort begins to improve.
Pain and tightness often begin to ease, and standing and moving may feel more comfortable. Continue wearing your faja as directed. Drainage may lessen during this time; if a drain was placed, your care team will let you know when it is ready to come out. Begin lymphatic massage only if and when your surgical team recommends it.
Build back at your own pace.
Swelling and bruising may continue to improve, though some swelling can remain. Keep following your garment and massage instructions, and increase activity only as your surgical team allows.
Ease back into your routine.
Your team may clear you to stop wearing the faja and resume more of your usual activities. Timing varies, so wait for their guidance before changing your garment routine or activity level. Your contours can continue to refine over the following months.
