Liposuction

Arm liposuction is the removal of excess fat, usually around the upper arms in women. Sometimes, women (and men) have a natural upper-arm build that tends to store and retain fat. Arm liposuction is much more common in women than in men because many women want a more feminine physique, whereas many men want their arms to appear larger and more masculine.

Chin liposuction has been less common since the invention of Kybella. Elite Plastic Surgery uses Kybella, the leading liposuction alternative for the chin. Kybella shrinks the fat from a “double chin” and, if needed, reduces fat cells in the jowls to achieve the effect of chin liposuction without pain or downtime. This will help give your face a younger, more rejuvenated, firmer look in the neck and chin areas, which tend to store stubborn fat.

360 Lipo is performed at Elite Plastic Surgery for patients who need lipo performed around the abdomen (stomach) and posterior flank (love handles). Often, when women have 360 Lipo, they will opt to have a fat transfer breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift performed at the same time. We want our patients to understand that if they are considering a fat transfer breast augmentation or Brazilian butt lift, they will need a substantial amount of fat from the donor site, which is usually the stomach and love handles.

As common problem areas, the thighs tend to store fat and cellulite. Thigh liposuction is often performed in tandem with a thigh lift, depending on the patient. At Elite Plastic Surgery, we offer thigh liposuction and Aveli to help reduce cellulite. Cellfina is leading the way with cellulite treatment and is available at Elite Plastic Surgery.

Another problem area that produces “muffin top.” This is a common treatment area, and many of our lipo patients are very happy with their results.

The stomach is one of the most common liposuction treatment areas. Depending on the amount of fat removed, Elite Plastic Surgery can help with this problem area.

This is becoming increasingly common due to pop culture. It is very common for women to have some “bra strap fat” produced by their bra, which squeezes their upper backs and upper chests, besides the breasts and underarms. While this is very common, many women are opting to have “bra strap fat” removed at Elite Plastic Surgery.

The mons pubis is the pubic area above the genital area that stores fat and may sometimes become more pronounced after a tummy tuck or liposuction of the stomach. It is usually genetic and may be pronounced even when one has not undergone a tummy tuck or stomach lipo. Mons pubis reduction is also referred to as mons pubis liposuction.
