Liposuction in Richmond, VA | Advanced SmartLipo Techniques

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

When you’re seeking liposuction in Richmond, you need a surgeon with the skill and experience to keep you safe while sculpting the curves you want.

At Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin created LITTLE Lipo as a less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, removing fat with less downtime, no general anesthesia, and minimal scarring.

Both surgeons are board-certified, fellowship-trained, and have taught their advanced lipo methods, both with and without anesthesia, to surgeons across the country. With 30+ years of combined experience and tools like SmartLipo, 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 to sculpt your curves, and we’ll recommend the best approach based on your personal goals. We also offer liposuction with anesthesia for patients who prefer a more traditional experience with complete comfort throughout the procedure. Whether you choose awake or fully anesthetized liposuction, you can expect precision, safety, and beautiful results tailored to your body.

SmartLipo Technology

SmartLipo combines traditional liposuction with laser-assisted fat removal. Laser energy gently melts fat before it’s removed, tightening the skin for smoother, more toned results.

LITTLE Liposuction

LITTLE Lipo is our signature technique: a less invasive approach performed under local anesthesia for a faster, more comfortable recovery. We 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 plasma energy beneath the skin, it firms and smooths treated areas for a more sculpted, youthful finish—without extra downtime.

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.

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 SmartLipo 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.
