Linda L. Swanson, MD, FACS is leading the way for plastic surgeons in Southern California as a body contouring specialist, combining the skills of an expert with the perspective of a woman.
Over the past eighteen years, Dr. Swanson has built a thriving private plastic surgery practice in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, California. She is a leading plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring and facial rejuvenation procedures including abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), breast augmentation, breast lifts, liposuction, Smartlipo laser body sculpting, facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and rhinoplasty (nose job). As a woman and a plastic surgeon, she understands that subtle changes can often yield the most beautiful, feminine silhouette.
Dr. Swanson received an M.D. from the Stanford University School of Medicine, and in 1984 became the first woman ever to complete general surgery residency at the University of Virginia. She went on to become one of the very first women to complete plastic surgery residency at New York University before returning to Southern California in 1990 as a highly trained woman plastic surgery specialist. Dr. Swanson is certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. Her affiliations include Fellow, American College of Surgeons (ACS), American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons (ASBPS).
During consultation at one of her two South Bay offices (Torrance and Los Alamitos), Dr. Swanson will listen to your questions and concerns about the procedures you are considering. She will evaluate the changes you would like to make and the results you hope to achieve, whether you are interested in a tummy tuck, laser liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, nose job, eyelid lift, facelift, or one of the many other plastic surgery procedures she offers. She will then discuss with you, in detail, all of the options available, explaining which means will most help you reach your desired ends. Rest assured that you will leave her office with realistic ideas of the results to expect with the plastic surgery you are pursuing.
Medical and technological advances have revolutionized the world of plastic surgery. By keeping up with the latest progress, Dr. Swanson is able to offer you the safest procedures with the best results. For example, through the use of the cutting-edge technology Smartlipo, Dr. Swanson performs minimally invasive body contouring procedures on both women and men. She is one of the few surgeons able to offer this technology in not only the South Bay (including Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach), but also in the greater Los Angeles area and even beyond California's borders. Smartlipo technology is a laser-assisted liposuction procedure that permanently removes unwanted fat cells and tightens the skin tissue. Plastic surgery offers solutions that can change your life, and now with new minimally-invasive procedures, plastic surgery is safer, faster, and more effective than ever before.
