Body Contouring in Beverly Hills

Awake liposuction has its advantages and is a great option for many patients, but sometimes, the best results are achieved under general anesthesia — particularly if you’re having several areas addressed at once. That’s why Dr. Hakimi offers total body liposuction, a comprehensive approach that allows for more extensive fat removal from head to toe.

Total Body Liposuction With Dr. Hakimi

Unwanted fat is rarely distributed in a single area. Often, it accumulates in the upper and lower body — in the upper arms, back, abdomen, thighs and even under the chin. If you’re looking to treat multiple areas at once, total body liposuction can help you achieve a natural look in one session.

Dr. Hakimi is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in advanced body sculpting techniques. He is one of a few surgeons in Beverly Hills who offers awake lipo, but he is also an expert in other liposuction techniques, including Lipo 360 and Total Definer Liposuction.

Total Definer Liposuction

Total Definer Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia to give your body a slimmer, more athletic look. It uses specially designed cannulas to maximize gentle fat extraction and can provide a natural look that increases the definition of your curves and musculature. Common treatment areas include the following:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Upper & lower back
  • Upper arms
  • Hips
  • Inner & outer thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Chest

No matter which areas you’d like to target, this comprehensive approach can improve your body contours with precision. By strategically eliminating fat in certain areas and defining the underlying muscles — and even transferring the removed fat into other areas such as the chest, breasts, buttocks, hands or arms — Dr. Hakimi can help you achieve the fitter, more sculpted physique you’ve always wanted.

Arm & Thigh Liposuction

Arm and thigh liposuction are excellent for patients looking to target specific areas of unwanted fat. Arm liposuction is ideal for contouring the upper arms, while thigh liposuction sculpts the inner and outer thighs. These procedures are frequently performed on their own using local anesthesia, but either can be included in a total body liposuction plan for comprehensive results.

Lipo 360

Lipo 360 is an advanced technique that contours the entire midsection to sculpt a slimmer figure and a coveted hourglass shape. Unlike traditional liposuction, which tends to focus on a single area, Lipo 360 addresses the abdomen, sides and lower back for smooth, balanced results.

Fat Transfer + Skin Tightening

If you’re looking to take your results to the next level, Dr. Hakimi also provides fat transfer and skin tightening procedures, both of which can be combined with total body liposuction. Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, takes the fat removed during liposuction and uses it to enhance your curves in other areas — such as the breasts or buttocks. Skin tightening helps reduce sagging in treated areas to maximize your body contouring results. These procedures can be performed using local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs and preferences.

Total Body Liposuction Results

Patients who undergo total body liposuction can expect to see significant improvements following surgery. The initial results are often immediate and get better over time as swelling subsides, with your final contours developing after about three months. This gradual improvement allows patients to enjoy a smooth transition into their new body shape.

Dr. Hakimi’s precise technique ensures natural-looking results that enhance your body’s proportions and overall aesthetic. His attention to detail and expertise in body contouring enable him to reduce unwanted fat in key areas, creating a slimmer look your friends will envy.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

01 // PROCEDURE

Total body liposuction is a comprehensive procedure designed to target multiple areas of unwanted fat in a single session. On the day of your surgery, you’ll be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Hakimi will make small, strategically placed incisions in the targeted areas and insert a cannula to break up and suction out the unwanted fat.

02 // Duration

The duration of your procedure depends on factors like the number of areas being treated, but it typically takes a few hours to complete. You can’t rush art — Dr. Hakimi ensures that fat is removed evenly and effectively to enhance your body’s proportions. Throughout the procedure, monitoring equipment is used to ensure your safety and achieve optimal results.

03 // After-care

After your surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as you wake up from the anesthesia. Dr. Hakimi will provide you with guidelines on how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort. You’ll also be instructed to wear a compression garment for six weeks to improve healing and encourage skin retraction.

Total Body Liposuction Recovery

Recovery can vary depending on the extent of your procedure and the number of areas treated. Most patients can return to light activities after a few days and resume their normal routine within one to two weeks. Dr. Hakimi will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. He’ll also get you started on a post-op lymphatic massage protocol to support the healing process and require you to wear a compression garment for at least two weeks. Following these guidelines will reduce swelling and help the skin adhere to your new contours.

FAQ

Is Total Body Liposuction Right for Me?

Ideal candidates for total body liposuction include men and women who have stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas and desire a global improvement in the arms, chest, abdomen and back. To achieve meaningful results that lead to a more athletic look and increased muscle definition, Dr. Hakimi recommends total body liposuction for individuals with BMI under 31. For higher BMIs, it is safer to do this procedure under local anesthesia in two sessions. A consultation with Dr. Hakimi will determine if total body liposuction is right for you.

How Long Will My Results Last?

With a healthy diet and lifestyle, you can expect your results to be permanent. Unwanted fat won’t return once it’s been removed from the body; however, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, negatively impacting your long-term outcome.

Can I Undergo Total Body Liposuction if I’ve Previously Had CoolSculpting or Liposuction?

Yes, you can undergo total body liposuction if you’ve had CoolSculpting or other work done. However, it is preferred to use general anesthesia for revision cases or for patients who have undergone multiple sessions of CoolSculpting, as they can have more scar tissue that requires a more aggressive approach.

How Much Fat Can Be Removed In a Single Session?

In California, up to 5 liters of fat can be removed at once, regardless of the type of anesthesia used. This limit is in place to ensure your safety. While 5 liters can significantly improve your body contours, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of surgery.

To help patients get closer to their weight loss goals before undergoing liposuction, Dr. Hakimi offers medical weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Reaching a healthier weight prior to surgery can help you maximize the benefits of liposuction and achieve more satisfying results.
