EZ Lipo

AFFECTED AREAS

EZ Lipo™, also called “Smart Liposuction”, is a French minimally-invasive liposculpting technique (modified tumescent liposuction) that can be performed as an alternative to laser smart lipo and traditional liposuction. EZ Lipo™ restores body contour harmony and skin tone. Stretch marks will be less visible but won’t perish

HOW IT WORKS

Using the “tumescent technique,” EZ Lipo™ is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Assassa uses a mini cannula that is inserted through small incisions, 1-2 millimeters in size, to extract unwanted fat, sculpt the body, and tighten the skin. No stitches are required, and the procedure leaves virtually no unsightly scars. To achieve optimal results, Dr. Assassa uses a proprietary mapping technique that enables him to restore the arcs and convexities that create face and body beauty and harmony.

ONE WEEK LATER

Swelling of the area decreases slightly, but can be reduced further with ultrasound and or lymphatic massage.

THREE MONTHS LATER

After 3 months, the tissue heals fully and reorganizes back to the feeling of normal skin. The overlying skin contracts and tightens, and stretch marks begin to fade. The most important safety issue for patients considering “EZ Lipo™”, also known as “Smart Liposuction” in Los Angeles is choosing the right physician. Dr. Sam Assassa is president of the American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, which is committed to teaching the artistic act of aesthetics with patient safety in mind, giving its members cutting-edge guidance and education in this rapidly growing field. Dr. Assassa has extensive experience and is well-versed in EZ Lipo™ techniques.
