Liposuction Before & After Case 485

This patient, a 58-year-old woman, presented with long-standing concerns about the significant excess skin and fat around her waistline. She sought a more contoured and comfortable figure after noticing that diet and exercise alone could not address these changes. Her primary motivation for seeking liposuction in Los Angeles was to achieve a smoother, more youthful silhouette and to be able to wear clothing more confidently.

Dr. David Stoker, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performed an extended tummy tuck and power-assisted liposuction to address her goals. This combination of procedures removed both excess skin and fatty tissue, leading to a marked improvement in the contour of her abdomen and waist. Approximately one year after her initial surgery, she elected to undergo a facelift and additional power-assisted liposuction along her waist to further enhance her results. The photos above show her progress three weeks after her second stage operation.

Recovery after the procedures has been straightforward, with the patient reporting improved self-esteem and comfort during daily activities. She noted the results reflected her desired outcome and helped her feel more at ease in her appearance.

Dr. Stoker’s experience with liposuction in Los Angeles and abdominoplasty helped this patient safely achieve her goals. His individualized approach and focus on combining surgical precision with patient communication are central to his practice at Stoker Plastic Surgery in Marina del Rey.
