Innovative Liposuction Techniques for Superior Results

We offer several advanced liposuction techniques to help you slim, sculpt, and define your silhouette with precise fat removal and minimal downtime:

LITTLE Liposuction & Awake Liposuction

Dr. Burton and Dr. Reps Sundin created LITTLE Lipo® to give you stunning results with minimal recovery time. By using local anesthesia, tiny entry points, and gentle fat removal, awake liposuction eliminates unwanted fat to sculpt your figure without the risks of traditional liposuction.

Laser Liposuction with Renuvion

Great contouring isn’t just about removing fat — it’s about how your skin responds afterward. With Renuvion’s laser liposuction technology, we help contract and firm tissue beneath the surface for sharper definition and smoother transitions. For those weighing treatments like SmartLipo, this option delivers an added level of precision skin tightening built into your results.

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction creates a more defined jawline and reduces fullness under the chin for a more balanced, youthful profile. This fast in-office treatment creates subtle yet significant improvements to refine your jawline from every angle.

Are You A Good Candidate for Liposuciton?

If you’re struggling with stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can create the smooth, sculpted look you’ve been working toward.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if:

You’re already at or near a healthy weight but want more definition in areas like your abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, or chin
You have pockets of fat that stay the same no matter how consistent you are with diet and exercise
You want to smooth bulges, refine your proportions, or create a more balanced silhouette
You’re looking for noticeable shaping without the downtime of a more invasive body procedure
You have good skin elasticity and want your results to look smooth, natural, and proportionate
You want a targeted solution for areas that make clothes fit differently than you’d like

The Liposuction Process Explained: Before, During & After

Before Your Procedure: Your first visit includes a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Burton Sundin or Dr. Reps Sundin to discuss your goals and choose the best liposuction technique for your needs. We’ll review your medical history and explain how to prepare for your procedure, keeping you fully informed.
During Your Liposuction: Treatment time varies based on the areas you’re addressing: smaller zones treated with LITTLE Lipo® may take around 30 minutes, while more extensive contouring can take up to two hours. Most procedures are done in our office using local anesthesia, helping you stay relaxed and return home shortly after.
After Your Procedure: You’ll wear a compression garment to control swelling and support your new shape as you heal. Most patients feel ready to get back to work and light activity within 3–5 days, and your results will continue to improve in the weeks that follow.

Your Liposuction Questions, Answered

How much does traditional liposuction cost?

Pricing varies based on your desired treatment areas, the technique used, and whether your procedure is combined with additional contouring. We’ll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.

Will liposuction help me lose weight?

No, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It refines specific areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise. You’ll notice a change in your silhouette rather than a major difference on the scale.

Can I combine liposuction with other plastic surgery procedures?

Yes! Many of our patients pair liposuction with treatments like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation for a more complete transformation. During your visit, our surgeons will review your goals and recommend the safest combination of treatments based on your needs.

How long do liposuction results last?

Your liposuction results can be long-lasting as long as your weight stays relatively stable after surgery. The fat cells we remove won’t grow back, but remaining cells can expand with weight gain, so it’s important to maintain healthy habits to preserve your new shape.
