Fat Reduction
Fat reduction is an important component of body sculpting treatments. We offer several liposuction options to remove stubborn body fat on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, back, inner and outer thighs, arms, under the chin, and more.
Standard Liposuction
Standard liposuction is also known as traditional liposuction. It is a surgical body contouring procedure that uses different surgical techniques to remove unwanted fat cells from various areas of the body to help patients achieve their aesthetic ideals. Not only does this procedure remove excess fat, but it’s also performed accurately and precisely to create new body contours.
Standard liposuction is a good option for patients who have tried to lose unwanted fat cells through traditional lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, but have been unsuccessful.
Vaser Liposuction
Vaser liposuction combines standard liposuction techniques with the use of ultrasound technology to gently yet efficiently break apart fat cells during the fat removal process. During the procedure, the surgeon will inject a medicated solution into the treatment area before using the device to deliver ultrasound energy to the fat cells for easy removal.
One of the benefits of Vaser liposuction is that it can destroy fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues and also creates new, more aesthetically pleasing body contours while promoting a quick recovery.
Power-Assisted Liposuction With Microaire
We also offer power-assisted liposuction with the Microaire system, which allows us to perform liposuction to address both smaller and larger areas of the body with precision. The device is equipped with stainless steel cannulas in various sizes to address excess fat on different areas of the body. The device uses gentle vibrations emitted through the cannula to gently break apart fat cells for easy removal.
This technique improves recovery time and allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with little risk to the surrounding tissue. It also promotes long-lasting results and ensures procedure speed and safety. We can use power-assisted liposuction with the Microaire system to treat virtually every area of the body that has stubborn fat, including the most common areas, like the hips, upper arms, abdomen, back, and thighs.
Modern 360 Liposuction To Contour The Midsection
Our Modern 360 Liposuction procedure can complement multiple abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures. This procedure is designed for optimal waistline narrowing. If you follow social media trends, you may have come across the popular procedure known as “snatching the waistline.” We can add this procedure to your abdominoplasty procedure to help you achieve this desired effect.
Skin Tightening
We also offer non-surgical body contouring with skin tightening technologies like Renuvion and Morpheus8. These treatments are a good option for patients who cannot undergo a surgical procedure, aren’t ready to commit to a surgical procedure, or those who have experienced skin laxity that doesn’t yet require a surgical procedure.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a microneedling device that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and microneedles to gently heat the dermal tissues of the skin and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that naturally gives the skin elasticity and structure. As new collagen and healthy tissues are regenerated, patients can enjoy tighter skin that enhances their natural curves. Many other skin conditions like fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, rough skin texture, and hyperpigmentation can be improved with Morpheus8.
Renuvion
Renuvion is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and improve the appearance of the neck using helium plasma energy to force a contraction of the skin to tighten and smooth the area. It delivers natural-looking results and doesn’t require surgical techniques to address or improve the appearance of excess skin.
During treatment, a tiny wand will be inserted below the skin’s surface to deliver radiofrequency energy and helium plasma into the tissue to promote collagen tightening and growth. Patients only need a single treatment to see the best results, which can become evident in the week following treatment and will continue to improve as the skin heals.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Body Contouring?
Patients who want to achieve specific body goals they can’t reach with just dietary changes and an exercise routine make good candidates for body contouring procedures and treatments. Whether you want to take a surgical or non-surgical approach to body contouring, we can create a treatment plan that’s right for you. Depending on your goals, you may benefit from more than one of our body contouring options.

During The Procedure
Body contouring can be performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the type of procedure you receive. IV sedation is only an option for surgical procedures like liposuction. Morpheus8 may not require any anesthesia, depending on your comfort level. The procedure takes an average of 1-2 hours, depending on the number of areas being addressed and whether you choose invasive procedures.
After The Procedure
Non-surgical body contouring requires minimal downtime while surgical body contouring involves a short recovery. After liposuction or Renuvion, mild swelling and bruising is common. Patients may need to take a few days off work but most daily activities can be resumed within 3-7 days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks after liposuction.
Results will develop gradually as the treatment area heals or as new collagen develops after a Morpheus8 treatment. Patients can expect a more toned appearance and smoother, tighter skin. Results are long-lasting if you stick to a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
The Importance Of Understanding The Treatment Options
If you choose to undergo one of our liposuction procedures, it’s important to note that liposuction is a way for men and women to achieve specific body-shaping goals, not lose significant weight. Contrary to popular opinion, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, and it cannot help obese individuals reach their goal weight.
Instead, it’s a body contouring procedure that can help even the fittest individuals reach specific physique goals. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after your procedure and avoid significant weight gain to ensure the longevity of your results.
