Stubborn Fat That Won't Budge? Minimally Invasive Liposuction Can Help

If you're looking for liposuction in Chesapeake, you've probably already put in the work. You eat well, you stay active, and a few spots still won't change. Liposuction removes those fat cells for good, so the shape underneath can finally show.

Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin created LITTLE Lipo at Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery to make that process easier. It's done under local anesthesia through tiny incisions, which means no general anesthesia, no large scars, and a faster recovery than traditional lipo.

Both surgeons are board-certified and fellowship-trained, with 30+ years of combined experience. They've also taught their liposuction methods to surgeons across the country.

Which Liposuction Method Is Right for You?

WThere's no one-size-fits-all lipo. Your surgeon will look at your goals, your skin, and your comfort level, then recommend the best fit, whether that's awake liposuction or lipo with general anesthesia for a more traditional experience.

LITTLE Liposuction

Our signature technique. With awake liposuction, you stay comfortable under local anesthesia while your surgeon removes fat through very small incisions. Most patients go home the same day and ease back into their routine within days.

Best for: stubborn spots like love handles, a lower belly pooch, inner thighs, or bra fat when you're close to your goal weight.

Laser Lipo With Renuvion J-Plasma

Removing fat is only part of the picture if your skin has lost some firmness. Renuvion uses gentle plasma energy under the skin to tighten and smooth the treated area during the same procedure, with no added downtime.

Best for: mild loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, often on the belly, arms, or neck.

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction clears out fullness under the chin and brings back a sharper jawline. It's a quick, in-office procedure with a short recovery.

Best for: a double chin or softness under the jaw when the skin there is still fairly firm.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction works best when you're close to your goal weight and a few areas just won't respond to diet or exercise. It reshapes your body. It doesn't replace healthy habits.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Have stubborn fat on your belly, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, or chin
  • Want more shape and balance, not a lower number on the scale
  • Prefer a less invasive option without general anesthesia
  • Want results that look natural on your body
  • Are in good overall health with realistic goals

If loose skin or separated stomach muscles after pregnancy are your main concern, a tummy tuck may be the better fit. Your surgeon will tell you which option makes sense.

Your Liposuction Questions, Answered

How much does liposuction cost, and what's included?

Cost depends on how many areas you treat, whether you choose LITTLE Lipo or lipo with general anesthesia, and whether you add Renuvion. At your consultation, you'll get a personalized quote and a clear breakdown of what it covers. You can also check our pricing page for starting prices.

Can liposuction help me lose weight?

Not really. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment. You'll notice the change in how your clothes fit more than on the scale.

Can I get liposuction with a tummy tuck or another procedure?

Yes. Many patients pair lipo with a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. If you're traveling from Chesapeake, combining procedures also means one surgery date and one recovery. Your surgeon will let you know what can be safely done together.

Will the fat come back after liposuction?

The fat cells we remove are gone for good. The ones left behind can still grow if you gain a lot of weight, so keeping a stable weight is the best way to protect your results.
