Liposuction and Fat Grafting in Beverly Hills
Liposuction and fat grafting are among the most versatile and popular body contouring procedures performed today. In the hands of Dr. Kriya Gishen — an Ivy League-trained, UCLA fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with a background in fine arts and sculpture — liposuction becomes a true sculpting tool. At her Beverly Hills practice, Dr. Kriya masterfully performs liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, and chin, using contouring, etching, and blending techniques to create soft curves, toned definition, and natural-looking results.
What Is Liposuction and Fat Grafting?
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas of the body using a thin cannula and gentle suction. Dr. Kriya uses liposuction as a contouring tool to sculpt soft curves in all the right places, balanced with etching and blending techniques to create toned, natural results.
Fat grafting (also known as fat transfer) takes the harvested fat and purifies it before strategically reinjecting it into areas that would benefit from added volume. The harvested fat can be used for breast filling, Brazilian butt lifting, filling of the hip dips, or facial rejuvenation and lip filling, depending on the patient's desires. Regardless of which filling procedure is performed, Dr. Kriya's goal is to create natural results that are well suited to the patient's body frame.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction and Fat Grafting?
Ideal candidates for liposuction and fat grafting in Beverly Hills include:
- Patients with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise in areas like the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, or chin
- Individuals seeking natural volume enhancement in the breasts, buttocks, hips, or face using their own fat
- Patients who are near their ideal weight with good skin elasticity
- Those looking for a minimally invasive contouring solution with shorter recovery times
- Non-smokers in good overall health
Dr. Kriya's Sculpting Approach to Liposuction
With her background as a sculptor, Dr. Kriya brings an unparalleled artistic vision to liposuction and fat grafting. She doesn't simply remove fat — she sculpts the body with intention, creating harmonious proportions and smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas. Her Ivy League training and UCLA craniofacial fellowship provide the technical precision needed to safely and effectively perform these procedures, while her artistic eye ensures results that look natural and beautifully balanced.
Dr. Kriya often combines liposuction with other body procedures such as abdominoplasty or arm and thigh lift for comprehensive body transformation.
What to Expect: Liposuction and Fat Grafting Recovery
Recovery varies depending on the extent of treatment:
- First 3–5 days: Mild to moderate soreness, bruising, and swelling. Compression garments are worn to support healing and optimize contour results.
- Weeks 1–2: Most patients return to desk work and light daily activities. Swelling begins to subside.
- Weeks 3–4: Gradual return to exercise as cleared by Dr. Kriya.
- 1–3 months: Swelling continues to resolve and contour improvements become more apparent.
- 3–6 months: Final sculpted results are visible. Fat graft survival stabilizes, with typically 60–80% of transferred fat maintaining permanently.
For fat grafting procedures, Dr. Kriya provides specific instructions on protecting grafted areas during the healing process to maximize fat survival and long-term results.
