Appointment Remove stubborn fat with precision. Our board-certified microsurgeons perform safe, high-definition liposuction and body contouring in Peoria, AZ.
Liposuction is the surgical answer to the metabolic plateau you get when there are stubborn pockets of fat that are stopping you from finalizing your goals. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, we do not view this procedure as simple "fat removal." We approach it as subtractive sculpture. Our goal is to permanently remove resistant fat cells to reveal the underlying muscle tone you have already earned through exercise.
We bring high-definition body contouring directly to our Peoria clinic on North 83rd Avenue. By applying the same vascular precision we use in complex reconstructive surgery, our team offers a level of safety and refinement that standard cosmetic surgery often lacks.
To understand why liposuction is effective, you must understand the biology of the fat cells themselves.
In adulthood, the human body generally maintains a fixed number of fat cells. When you lose weight through diet and exercise, you are not losing cells; you are merely shrinking them. The cells remain in place, waiting to store energy again. This is why certain areas dictated by genetics or hormones are so difficult to treat with lifestyle changes alone.
Liposuction physically removes these cells from the treatment area. Once removed, those specific cells are gone forever. This provides long-lasting results, provided the patient maintains a stable weight. It is a permanent modification of your body’s storage capacity in the treated zones.
We utilize clinically proven technologies to maximize fat removal while prioritizing patient safety.
This is the gold standard for safety in modern liposuction. Before removing any fat, we infiltrate the target area with a large volume of dilute saline solution containing lidocaine (an anesthetic) and epinephrine.
We often use power-assisted liposuction, which uses a vibrating cannula to gently break up dense fat deposits before suctioning them out. This allows us to remove extra volume with less physical force, reducing trauma to the surrounding tissues. This is particularly effective for fibrous areas like the male chest or the back.
Liposuction is a versatile tool used to refine various areas of the body. We develop customized treatment plans based on your individual goals and anatomy.
We don’t just flatten the stomach; we etch it. By thinning the fat layer over the linea alba and obliques, we can enhance the "athletic" look of the core. Addressing the hips and flanks creates a tapered waist, enhancing the hourglass figure for women or the V-taper for men.
We target the outer thighs ("saddlebags") to streamline the silhouette in clothing, and the inner thighs to reduce chafing and improve comfort.
Submental liposuction removes the "double chin," sharpening the jawline and separating the face from the neck. This often makes patients look as though they have lost significant weight.
We reduce the fullness in the upper arms, creating a toned look that inspires confidence in sleeveless attire.
Confusion often exists regarding which cosmetic procedures are right for a specific patient.
Liposuction is body contouring, not weight loss surgery. It is ideal for patients within 15–20 pounds of their goal weight who want to change their shape, not the number on the scale.
Lipo removes fat but relies on the skin to shrink back on its own. If you have significant loose skin or separated muscles from pregnancy or massive weight loss, liposuction alone may result in sagging. In these cases, a tummy tuck is the better option to excise skin and tighten the wall.
Devices that freeze or heat fat typically offer a 20% reduction per session. Surgical liposuction can remove 70–80% of the fat in a single session. For patients seeking a definitive, long-lasting change, surgery is often the most cost-effective choice.
One of the major benefits of modern liposuction is the ability to harvest live fat cells for transfer. Because we handle the tissue gently, we can purify the fat and reinject it into other areas to fill deficits or add volume.
Recovery from liposuction peoria az is generally faster than excisional surgery.

During your consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeon will evaluate your skin quality to ensure liposuction will yield a smooth, tight result. If skin laxity is a concern, we may discuss combined procedures like skin tightening (BodyTite) or excision.
