Get The Curves You’ve Always Wanted Without The Surgical Downtime

Stubborn fat can be frustrating, especially when it hides the shape you’ve worked for. If you’re considering liposuction in Richmond, LITTLE Lipo offers a less invasive way to refine stubborn areas without general anesthesia, extended downtime, or large scars.

Developed by Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin at Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, LITTLE Lipo removes stubborn fat through a gentler approach designed for less downtime, no general anesthesia, and minimal scarring.

Both surgeons are board-certified, fellowship-trained, and have taught their advanced liposuction methods, both with and without anesthesia, to surgeons across the country. With 30+ years of combined experience, we create your dream body without the risks or downtime of traditional lipo.

Advanced Liposuction Methods That Elevate Your Results

We offer several liposuction methods and will recommend the best fit for your goals, including awake liposuction or liposuction with anesthesia for a more traditional experience.

LITTLE Liposuction

LITTLE Lipo is our signature technique: a less invasive approach performed under local anesthesia for a faster, more comfortable recovery. With awake liposuction, target stubborn fat with tiny incisions and gentle suction, creating refined results with minimal downtime.

Laser Liposuction with Renuvion

Renuvion adds powerful skin tightening to your liposuction results. Using precision plasma energy beneath the skin, it firms and smooths treated areas for a more sculpted finish without added downtime. For patients comparing options like SmartLipo, this approach offers enhanced tightening alongside fat removal in one procedure.

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction refines your jawline, reduces fullness under the chin, and restores balance to your facial profile. It’s a quick, in-office procedure that can enhance your jawline from every angle.

See If Liposuction Can Help You Reach Your Goals

If stubborn fat is keeping you from the shape you want, LITTLE Lipo was designed to help. This minimally invasive approach can refine areas that have not responded to diet or exercise, creating more definition with less downtime than traditional liposuction.

Liposuction may be right for you if:

You’re close to your ideal weight but want more shape, definition, or balance
You have stubborn fat in areas like your abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, or chin
You feel like certain areas do not match the rest of your body
You want a more sculpted silhouette without the recovery of traditional liposuction
You prefer a less invasive procedure with no general anesthesia
You want visible results, but still want your body to look natural and proportional
You’re ready for a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, anatomy, and comfort level

What Happens Before, During, and After Your Procedure

Before Your Procedure: You’ll meet with one of our board-certified surgeons to talk through your goals and decide which type of liposuction is right for you. We’ll explain what to expect, review your medical history, and make sure you’re fully prepared for a smooth experience.
Our Liposuction Process: Depending on the technique, your procedure may take anywhere from 30 minutes (for a small area with LITTLE Lipo) to 2 hours (for full body contouring). We perform most procedures in our office under local anesthesia, so you’ll be able to go home the same day.
Caring for Your Results: You’ll wear a compression garment and take it easy for the first few days while swelling goes down. Most people feel ready to return to work and light activity in 3 to 5 days, and full results continue to develop over the next few weeks.

Common Questions About Liposuction

How much does traditional liposuction cost?

The cost of liposuction depends on the treatment area, the type of lipo you choose, and whether you’re combining it with other procedures. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized quote based on your goals and treatment plan.

Will liposuction help me lose weight?

No. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure; it’s not intended for weight loss. Lipo is best for removing localized fat deposits, so you’ll see a change in your shape, not necessarily on the scale.

Can I combine liposuction with other plastic surgery procedures?

Yes! Many of our patients combine liposuction with procedures like tummy tuck or breast augmentation for a more complete transformation. We’ll assess your goals and recommend a safe, effective treatment plan to create your desired results.

How long do liposuction results last?

Liposuction results can be long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. The fat cells removed during surgery are permanently gone, but new fat can accumulate if your weight fluctuates significantly.
