Overview
About Liposuction
Persistent fat deposits that resist diet and exercise efforts are a common concern for many people who have otherwise achieved their fitness goals. These stubborn areas often remain unchanged regardless of overall weight management success, and this represents genetic predisposition rather than insufficient effort; certain areas simply store fat that doesn't respond to traditional weight loss methods.
Liposuction provides a precise surgical solution that permanently removes these resistant fat cells while sculpting natural-looking, alluring contours that complement your existing physique, rather than creating artificial results that appear obviously surgical.
Dr. Ali Roham combines surgical precision developed through extensive general surgery training with an artistic eye for natural body proportions, ensuring every liposuction procedure creates harmonious contours that enhance rather than dramatically alter your natural appearance. His board certification with the American Board of Osteopathic Surgery, coupled with specialized plastic surgery training, provides the comprehensive foundation necessary for both straightforward body contouring and complex cases requiring meticulous attention to detail that has become his hallmark among Newport Beach patients.

Our Patients Are Saying...
Daniela L.
My experience with Dr. Ali Roham has always been a positive one. I appreciate going to this office for the simple fact that they do not try to push treatments or procedures to help me look better. This has happened to me in the past at another establishment, and I was completely turned off and will never go back.

Sogi A.
I have been a patient of Dr. Roham for many years and this review is well overdue.
It's very rare to come across a plastic surgeon who is so humble, down to earth and is always smiling. He listens and provides options but mostly he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Dr. Ali is amazing! I had breast augmentation 3 months ago and the pain was minimal to none. The results look and feel super natural. Minimal visible scarring. Dr. Ali's team has been super attentive to all of my concerns and questions, which made me feel at ease with the whole recovery process. Dr. Ali is the only surgeon I trust!
Darlene M.
Dr. Roham was recommended by a friend of mine who did her procedure with him. I truly must say his office is the best! I came in with my vision and he truly achieved it! His bedside manners are amazing! I had my liposuction 360, augmentation, and tummy tuck... What I loved most is Dr. Ali keeps your expectations realistic.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction removes localized fat through small incisions using specialized hollow tubes called cannulas. The technique works because once fat cells are removed, they don't grow back – making the changes permanent as long as your weight stays relatively stable.
The modern liposuction approach uses what's called tumescent technique, where a solution containing numbing medication and something to minimize bleeding gets injected into the fat layer first. This makes the area temporarily swollen and firm, which allows for more controlled fat removal with less discomfort afterward.
Dr. Roham focuses on sculpting rather than just removing fat. He knows that good liposuction isn't about taking out as much as possible…it's about knowing exactly how much to remove and where to leave some volume so the final result looks like it was always meant to be that way. The procedure can address multiple body areas during a single session when it's medically appropriate, which often creates better overall body harmony while minimizing your total time under anesthesia.
Ideal Candidates for Liposuction
The best outcomes happen when patients meet certain physical criteria:
Already close to a healthy weight for your height and build
Have specific areas that don't respond to diet and exercise
Good skin elasticity (skin that bounces back when pinched)
Generally healthy with any medical conditions well-managed
Either don't smoke or can stop for the recommended time period
Realistic about what the procedure can and can't accomplish
During your consultation, Dr. Roham evaluates both your physical candidacy and whether your goals align with what liposuction can realistically deliver. He takes time to examine your skin quality, discuss your medical history, and understand exactly what's bothering you about your current body contours. This thorough evaluation helps ensure you're a good candidate and that your expectations match what the procedure can actually accomplish.

Benefits of Liposuction
Fat cells are gone permanently from treated areas
Creates body contours that diet and exercise simply can't achieve
Better overall body proportions and balance
Can combine removed fat with transfer to other areas if desired
Very small scars that fade significantly over time
Most patients feel much more confident in how clothes fit
When it makes sense medically, multiple areas can be treated during the same surgery. This approach often creates better overall harmony while keeping you under anesthesia for less total time. The key is creating balanced proportions across your entire physique rather than just addressing isolated problem spots that might look out of place after treatment.

Everything settles into its permanent position
Dr. Roham gives you specific instructions based on exactly what was done during your procedure, with regular check-ups to make sure everything's healing as expected. He wants to see you at specific intervals to monitor your progress and address any concerns before they become problems. Most patients find the recovery more manageable than they anticipated, especially when they follow the post-op guidelines carefully.
Insurance Coverage for Liposuction
Since cosmetic liposuction is elective, insurance doesn't cover it – you're responsible for the full cost. There are rare medical situations (like lipedema) where insurance might help, but that requires meeting very specific medical criteria and getting pre-approval.
Cost of Liposuction
Dr. Roham's practice believes in transparent pricing that covers everything – surgery, facility, anesthesia, and follow-up care. No surprises or hidden fees. The actual cost depends on how many areas you're treating, how complex the case is, and whether you're combining other procedures.
To make liposuction more accessible, we offer financing options that allow you to break the cost of surgery into affordable monthly payments, making it easier to proceed with your procedure when you're ready rather than waiting to save the full amount.
Often, doing multiple areas at once or combining procedures gives you better value than addressing things separately. Plus, you only go through recovery once.
The investment makes sense when you consider these are permanent changes that, with stable weight maintenance, last a lifetime. During consultation, you'll get a detailed estimate based on your specific treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
The fat cells are gone permanently. As long as your weight stays relatively stable, treated areas won't accumulate fat the same way again.
Can I combine liposuction with other procedures?
Yes, it's often done alongside tummy tucks, breast procedures, or fat transfer. Dr. Roham evaluates whether combination surgery makes sense for your specific situation.
What body areas can be treated?
Pretty much anywhere fat accumulates – abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, legs, back, neck, face. Dr. Roham has experience with both common areas and more specialized regions like male chest contouring.
Will there be visible scars?
The incisions are tiny – only 3-4 millimeters – and placed where they're least noticeable. Most fade to barely visible lines within six months to a year.
Does liposuction help with cellulite?
It's primarily for fat removal, not cellulite treatment. Some people see cellulite improvement, but that shouldn't be your main reason for considering the procedure.
When will I see results?
You'll see immediate changes, though swelling hides the final outcome for several weeks. Most significant improvement shows up around 3-4 weeks, with final results clear by 3-6 months.
How safe is liposuction?
Very safe when done by qualified surgeons in proper facilities. Like any surgery, there are risks, which Dr. Roham discusses thoroughly. Serious complications are rare with good technique and patient selection. Read more about liposuction safety.
Do men get liposuction?
Absolutely. Men commonly treat areas like the abdomen, flanks, chest, and neck. The techniques get modified to create masculine rather than feminine contours. Read more about male liposuction.
What's the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
Liposuction removes fat but doesn't address loose skin or separated abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens muscles but doesn't remove as much fat. Sometimes people need both, and Dr. Roham can help you figure out which approach makes sense for your situation.
How much fat can be safely removed in one session?
There are safety guidelines that limit how much can be removed during outpatient surgery. Dr. Roham follows these strictly, typically staying under 5 liters of total aspirate (which includes the tumescent fluid, not just pure fat). If you need more extensive contouring, it might require staging the procedure over multiple sessions.
