Lose Stubborn Fat Through Tiny Incisions, With Less Downtime

If you've been looking into liposuction in Newport News, you likely have one or two areas that hold on to fat no matter what you do. Lipo removes those fat cells for good, bringing out a more defined shape without starting from scratch.

LITTLE Lipo is a liposuction technique developed by Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin at Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. You stay awake under local anesthesia, the incisions are tiny, and most people are back at work in 3 to 5 days. That matters when you can't step away from the job for long.

Both brothers are board-certified plastic surgeons with fellowship training and more than 30 years of combined experience. Surgeons from around the country have trained in their techniques.

Liposuction Options for Different Areas and Goals

ody, skin, and goals decide which method makes sense. After an exam, your surgeon will walk you through the options, including awake lipo and lipo under general anesthesia.

LITTLE Liposuction

The technique our surgeons invented. Awake liposuction uses local anesthesia and a gentle approach to remove fat through tiny openings, so you skip general anesthesia and head home the same day.

Ideal for: small to medium problem areas like the flanks, abdomen, or thighs.

Renuvion J-Plasma & Laser Liposuction

Some patients have fat and a little loose skin in the same spot. Renuvion handles both. After fat is removed, plasma energy works under the skin to firm it up, so the area looks smooth instead of deflated.

Ideal for: arms, belly, or neck where skin has lost some snap after weight loss or pregnancy.

Neck Liposuction

A full neck can make your whole face look heavier. Neck liposuction trims fat under the chin and along the jaw for a cleaner profile, usually in a short in-office visit.

Ideal for: a double chin when the skin on your neck still has good tone.

Is Liposuction Right for You?

Lipo is a shaping tool, not a shortcut. It may be a good fit if:

Diet and exercise haven't changed certain areas
You want better proportions, not a big drop in pounds
You'd rather avoid general anesthesia and a long recovery
You want results that still look like you
You're in good health and know what lipo can and can't do

What Liposuction Is Like, From Your First Visit to Final Results

First Visit: Meet your surgeon, point out the areas that bother you, and get a plan built around your body. Newport News patients can take this first step with a virtual consultation.
Treatment Day: Plan on 30 minutes to 2 hours in our office, depending on how many areas you treat. You'll be awake and comfortable, and you'll leave the same day with someone driving you home.
Final Results: Wear your compression garment, keep walking, and take it easy for a few days. Swelling fades over the first few weeks, and your final shape usually settles in three to six months.

Common Questions About Liposuction

What affects the cost of liposuction?

Your price is based on the number of areas, the method, and any add-ons like Renuvion. You'll get an exact quote after your consultation, once your surgeon knows what your plan involves.Starting prices are listed on our pricing page.

Do I need to reach my goal weight before liposuction?

You don't need to hit an exact number, but you should be close and at a steady weight. Lipo removes fat from specific spots to improve your shape. It isn't a weight loss treatment, so the scale may barely move while your clothes fit differently.

What procedures can I combine with liposuction?

Lipo is often paired with a tummy tuck for fuller core contouring, or with breast augmentation. Many patients also add Renuvion for skin tightening. Your surgeon will look at your health and goals to decide what's safe to do together.

Are liposuction results permanent?

The fat cells removed during lipo don't come back. The ones left behind can still expand with weight gain, so a steady weight keeps your new shape in place.
