Reveal Sleeker Curves with LITTLE Lipo—Our Modern Awake Liposuction Technique

You want to refine your curves, but you’ve been putting off liposuction because of the downtime, anesthesia, or recovery risks. At Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, we’re redefining body contouring with awake liposuction in Richmond, safely removing stubborn fat with minimal downtime and no general anesthesia.

Our surgeons, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, are nationally recognized for their work in mini lipo and body contouring procedures. Both are board-certified, fellowship-trained, and have 30+ years of combined experience creating stunning results for patients like you.

As innovators in our field, we invented LITTLE Lipo, a form of awake liposuction performed under local anesthesia with micro-incisions and a shorter recovery time. We’ve taught this approach to surgeons across the U.S., perfecting our technique to create your dream silhouette without the risks of traditional liposuction.
