Featured Dermatologists
Liposuction is the country's most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure, and it owes much of its popularity to our natural quest for a smooth, contoured shape. It can be a wonderful, permanent solution for many men and women who, after dieting and exercise, fail to the see sufficient improvement in certain areas of the body.
Liposuction is a safe and effective treatment for unwanted fat. New instruments, anesthesia, and surgical techniques have enabled physicians to bring liposuction into the 21st century as an extremely safe and reliable treatment for unwanted fat. Beautiful new contours can be created by skilled surgeons in less than 3 hours as an outpatient procedure. Patients often resume normal activities within one week of their surgery!
Safe, Effective, and Permanent
Tumescent liposuction was developed by dermatologists in the late 1980s, and has revolutionized the field of liposuction surgery. It is performed as an outpatient procedure in our state-of-the-art procedure rooms under local anesthesia. It is important to note that general or intravenous anesthesia is not needed with liposuction as performed by our physicians, dramatically improving the safety profile of this remarkable procedure. Our physicians use precise treatments to remove carefully selected areas of fat.
This new technique, often referred to as "liposculpture," allows physicians to safely and effectively remove a precise amount of fat from almost any part of the body. It can permanently eliminate problem areas such as "saddle bags" or "love handles." Other commonly treated areas include the abdomen, upper arms, outer and inner thighs, knees, neck, breasts, waistline, and buttocks.

Neck Liposuction
As people age, gravity and time can cause the skin and underlying fat to sag, leading to the formation of jowls and slack skin around the neck. Neck liposuction can dramatically reduce this prominent sign of aging by creating a more youthful neck and jaw line.
Since skin retains much of its elasticity as we age, the neck and jaw can be reshaped by removing excess fat from the neck and cheeks through small incisions under the chin. The skin then re-drapes itself along the jaw line for a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. In many cases, Thermage is used as an adjunct to neck liposuction to significantly enhance skin tightening.
