Sculpted, Natural Results
With proper care, results from liposuction in Monterey provide long-lasting improvements in body contour and confidence.
The ideal patients are individuals who have reached their goal weight but still struggle with stubborn areas or bulges that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgeries that Dr. Wong performs, and we see a variety of patients for liposuction in Monterey. However, if you plan to lose more weight, Dr. Wong recommends you do so before scheduling surgery. We typically see the best results in patients with a BMI under 30.
It’s important to understand that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. However, it can help with the last few pounds if you’ve been on a weight loss journey. Liposuction works best for targeting stubborn pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet and exercise.
We can perform liposuction surgery in an outpatient setting where you go home that same day. You can expect soreness, swelling, and bruising during the first week after surgery. Swelling improves over the next few weeks, with final results visible in 6 months.
Plan to wear compressive garments for 6 weeks, and Dr. Wong will guide you on deep massaging to help with healing. Most patients return to light activities in 2 weeks.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal fat and skin while tightening the abdominal muscles.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery diminishes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, resulting in smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Using your own fat from elsewhere on your body, a Brazilian Butt Lift reshapes and enlarges your buttocks for a more contoured figure.
Gallery Plastic Surgery prioritizes patient comfort and exceptional care, guiding you through each step of your journey.
