Precision in Contouring and Sculpting
Using a very small cannula, under local anesthesia, liposculpture allows our dermatologists to sculpt and contour your body with high precision. This meticulous approach means that fat is removed or redistributed evenly, avoiding issues like rippling or uneven texture. The result is a smoother, more natural-looking body contour that aligns perfectly with your aesthetic goals.
Customizable to Your Unique Needs
We often combine liposculpture with complementary treatments to provide you with the best fat-reduction/body shaping results possible. For instance, our proprietary ThermiSculpt procedure combines liposculpture and skin tightening to dramatically reshape and tighten your neck and jawline in just one non-surgical treatment.
Minimally Invasive with Minimal Scarring
By using local anesthesia and microcannulas, liposculpture reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia and the larger cannulas typically used for liposuction. The smaller cannulas also mean tinier incisions, minimizing scarring for a more aesthetically pleasing result with almost no evidence of a surgical procedure.
Enhanced Comfort and Collagen Stimulation
During liposculpture, a special local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. In addition to comfort, the process of fat removal and redistribution stimulates collagen and elastic fiber production. This natural response to the minor trauma caused by the cannula movement helps tighten the skin, reducing the likelihood of sagging or loose skin post-treatment.
Rapid Recovery and Long-lasting Results
The procedure’s minimally invasive nature and use of local anesthetic leads to a faster healing process and a quicker return to daily activities. You benefit from the dual impact of immediate fat reduction and progressive skin tightening, contributing to enduring and satisfying results.

We help minimize these side effects by providing liposuction in the comfort of our AAAHC-approved surgery suite under twilight sedation. Using our advanced technique, we fill and swell the targeted fatty areas with a special anesthetic solution that completely numbs the treatment area, stops bleeding, and thins and liquefies the fat. We prioritize patient education and safety, providing detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and effective recovery.
