About Liposuction

Also known as "lipoplasty," liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to effectively remove excess fat deposits from almost any area of the body including the hips, tummy, and thighs. Our surgeons offer two liposuction methods at their facility near San Francisco:

LipoSelection or VASER liposuction-
During this method, ultrasound technology is used to melt fat, allowing for easier removal. There is usually less pain and bruising involved with this type of liposuction.
Tumescent liposuction-
For this technique, a solution is injected into the areas where liposuction is to be performed. As a result, a larger amount of fat is removed, while minimizing the blood loss that occurs with traditional liposuction.

Patients who carry most of their weight in their midsection may also benefit greatly from our San Francisco tummy tuck surgeons. By performing "abdominoplasty" at the same time as liposuction, optimal results can be achieved.

We encourage you to take a look at before and after liposuction photo gallery.
