Overview
Is Liposuction
Right for Me?
Liposuction removes stubborn areas of fat to reshape the body and create smoother, more balanced proportions.
Many of my liposuction patients exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle but continue to have areas of stubborn fat. While diet and exercise can help you lose weight, they cannot determine where your body stores fat or where you lose it.
Common Concerns
- Stubborn areas of fat despite diet and exercise
- Areas of the body that feel out of proportion
- Difficulty achieving your desired body contour
- A body shape that doesn't reflect your healthy lifestyle
The Modern Approach
to Liposuction
Modern liposuction is about much more than removing fat—it's about sculpting the body. The goal is to create smooth transitions, balanced proportions, and natural-looking curves.
Today's technology allows us to remove fat more efficiently and with less trauma to surrounding tissues. To optimize your healing, we'll guide you through compression and additional therapies such as lymphatic massage or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Liposuction is not just about removing fat from individual areas. It's about improving your overall shape. By strategically contouring different areas of the body, we can create more definition, enhance natural curves, and improve your overall silhouette.
Remove stubborn fat and reshape areas that feel out of proportion. Liposuction can treat multiple areas to create smooth transitions with the rest of your body.
Address skin laxity when liposuction alone may not be enough. For mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion® can be combined with liposuction to encourage additional skin contraction using radiofrequency energy.
Use your own fat to restore volume and improve your shape. Fat removed with liposuction can be carefully processed and transferred to the breasts, hips, or buttocks to restore volume, enhance curves, and further shape the body.

Liposuction and Skin Tightening
Liposuction removes fat, but it does not tighten loose skin. How much the skin contracts after liposuction depends on factors such as skin quality, elasticity, age, and the amount of fat removed.
For mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion® skin tightening can be combined with liposuction to encourage additional skin contraction. When more significant loose skin is present, a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin may be recommended.
