Revolutionary Cost-Effective Lipo
State of the art liposculpture practice in San Diego, California, Pacific Lipo, is offering revolutionary cost-effective lipo.
"People want to feel better about themselves," says Rod Davis, Physician Assistant. "Life is tough enough for most people so any boost in self-esteem or confidence could translate into a new promotion at work, having the courage to go out on a date, or getting over a divorce. We hear many different reasons for people wanting to make a change in their body shape. Fortunately, there are much safer and effective ways of offering this change compared to more traditional methods, with very pleasing results.
"Demand for liposculpture services, including Smartlipo ™, ultrasound-assisted, and other methods, has pushed technology forward in innovative ways. There has never been a better time to consider liposuction. All of these methods can gently sculpt areas of fat with minimal recovery time. Liposculpture is used to eliminate diet-resistant fat almost anywhere on the body, including the stomach, hips, thighs, upper arms, and chin. Using small incisions, liposuctionists at Pacific Lipo insert tiny straw-like instruments into the deep fat layer, where it is gently removed.
"Until several years ago, people had been skeptical about liposuction, " adds Rod Davis, Physician Assistant. "But when they viewed our before and after photos, everyone was able to see for themselves the dramatic difference liposculpture can make. Of course, liposculpture is not a substitute for physical fitness and exercise, but it can significantly improve unsightly problem areas in just a couple of hours."
Specializing specifically in minimally invasive liposculpture procedures, Pacific Lipo is the premier practice for San Diegans' liposuction needs. No longer a taboo or dangerous surgery, liposculpture procedures are routine and performed to remove unwanted fat with minimal discomfort and little to now downtime. Patients do not have to undergo the dangers of general anesthesia, there are no stitches required and you can go back to work the next FDA approved and safer than standard liposuction, Pacific Lipo provides instant results and fat cells are removed permanently.
Pacific Lipo uses the most technologically advanced medical techniques and skilled professionals, having performed over 15,000 procedures -- liposculpture is all they do and thus makes them the most experienced and best at what they do. Prices are affordable starting at just $695 per area for 4 or more connected areas and consultations are free.

What is the Recovery Period Like After A Lipo Procedure?
One of the most frequently asked questions is "What is the recovery period like?" So we decided to write a blog that can help you learn more about the process.
During your recovery from a liposculpture procedure, you will be wearing a compression garment around the areas treated. The garment decreases swelling, helps mold the new shape, and provides support and comfort. Garments must be worn following the procedure for comfort and to improve results. Duration of garment wear varies on an individual basis and will be determined by Rod Davis, PA-C, Pacific Lipo's Director of Surgery. Follow up visits with Rod Davis are an important part during the recovery process and always free of charge.
Most of the bruising and swelling should subside within three weeks. To speed the healing process and to reduce the likelihood of post-operative complications, our staff will advise you to begin light activity as soon as possible. You should be able to return to work within one or two days if your work is fairly sedentary. You should avoid strenuous activity for one to two weeks as your body heals, but within six weeks you should be able to resume all normal activities. It's important to continue wearing the compression garment, which should be easily hidden under your clothing, unless instructed to do otherwise by our staff.
"There were no surprises and Rod put me at ease with his outstanding bedside manner. It has been almost a month since my procedure and the office staff and Rod have been outstanding with guiding me through the healing process. They are very supportive and are there for me whenever I call with a question." - Jay S. from San Diego, CA

A Faster, Permanent Way To Slim and Tone Your Midsection with Lipo
Are you tired of exercising and dieting without seeing any changes to your shape? Nearly every infomercial or magazine leads us to believe that we are only 90 days from the perfect body as long as we do a million perfect sit-ups and eat minuscule portions of broiled flavorless chicken breasts.
Your personal trainer would most likely prefer to see you sweating it out over the next 3 years, but that is not necessary for most people. Abdominal Liposculpture/Liposuction is a procedure that can be performed safely under local anesthesia while providing results that can be much more dramatic than exercise or dieting. At Pacific Liposculpture, we specialize in awake liposculpture procedures using micro-incisions through the skin. These procedures provide great patient safety, minimal downtime, and dramatic results.

All before and after photos shown are of actual Pacific Lipo patients and each procedure was performed by Rod Davis, PA-C (Physician Assistant-Certified). Rod Davis is a licensed and certified PA as well as Pacific Lipo's Director of Surgery. He has performed over 15,000 liposculpture procedures.

Liposuction - What Is the Best Technique For Me?
Author: Rodney Davis, Physician Assistant-Certified
There are several different techniques for achieving virtually the same results – despite all of the marketing claims. So what do you need to know before choosing which option is best for you? I have briefly outlined the three major methods that every prospective patient should be aware of before moving forward with liposuction.
Ultasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
This method was originally considered an advancement in liposuction methods in the 1990’s. Vaser is one of the main manufactures in this realm of UAL devices. ULA uses cannulas which send ultrasound energy through the fatty tissues, thereby liquefying the fat tissue. Most providers now agree that this method carries an increased risk of skin and tissue burns, permanent tissue damage, scarring, nerve damage, and localized fluid accumulation called seromas. There is insufficient proof of the safety of UAL devices therefore the FDA has never approved the marketing and advertising of UAL devices to be specifically used for liposuction.
Power Assisted Liposuction
Power Assisted Liposuction or PAL is a form of liposuction that uses vibrating straw-like cannulas of varying sizes, to break up and remove fat cells. This method allows the practioner to use less force while suctioning out fatty deposits compared to manual liposuction. The use of less physical force during the procedure is not only a more efficient way for the provider to remove fat, but may also lessen the amount of swelling to the tissues and minimize the degree of trauma to the incisions.
Laser Liposuction
Most advertising would suggest that laser manufactures such as SmartLipo and its competitors have completely reinvented liposuction. However, in reality all of the basic steps involved with traditional liposuction are usually performed with laser liposuction including the frequent sedation of the patients, the injection of tumescent fluid (numbing solution), as well as the suction of fat. With laser lipolysis there is always an additional step which involves the burning of fat just before removal. Initially, the laser was intended to be used without liposuction of the fat. ‘Melted’ fat was to be resorbed by the body. This has generally been shown to be ineffective. Most liposuctionists now agree that fat must be removed after the burning. Ironically, this is achieved in the EXACT same manner as would be performed without the laser.
Some known disadvantages of the laser are that the act of burning fat makes this a more invasive procedure. Burning can lead to complications and permanent injuries to the skin and surrounding tissues. This procedure can sometimes be more expensive and is frequently used by non-experts.
SmartLipo was the first laser FDA approved for this procedure, many other “fat melting” lasers are now on the market and many others are being developed. Other lasers include CoolLipo and LipoLite. Proponents of laser assisted liposuction claim that lasers have the ability to emulsify fat and tighten skin. Reportedly, skin tightening occurs due to laser energy which breaks collagen bonds in the dermis stimulating new collagen to form. This process is call neocollagenesis.

No certain brand of lipolysis laser at this point has been proven to be superior to any other. In my opinion, it is actually the skill of the provider in proper tumescent liposuction technique that is the best predictor of outcome.

Is Laser Liposuction the Right Choice for You?
Author Rod Davis, PA-C, Director of Surgery, Pacific Lipo
In our increasingly beauty obsessed society, it seems like more of us are choosing to seek out cosmetic surgery to improve any flaws (whether real or perceived). Of these cosmetic procedures, one of the most popular is Laser Liposcuction (also knows as Laser Lipo, Smart Lipo or Lunchtime Lipo).
Laser liposuction involves the use of a laser to “melt away” fatty deposits and then tightens the surrounding skin. This technique was first discovered in Europe and has recently become FDA approved for use in the USA. Laser liposuction has been used for the past 10 years in South America, Europe and Asia. The procedure is typically done in an office setting and does not require the use of a general anesthetic. A very small cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser’s energy to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The fluid released from the fat cells is removed by the body’s natural waste system. The laser also causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, thus resulting in less bleeding and bruising.
Some liposuctionists report that one of the advantages of laser liposuction is the fact that the probability of scarring, muscle damage, or pain tends to be smaller than more traditional liposuction methods. As a result, the patient is usually able to return to work within 48-hours. One of the disadvantages of laser liposuction is that it may only be useful on a limited variety of body areas. These body parts include the neck, face, and arms. Some patients do not report a dramatic enough difference in their shapes or skin tightening following laser liposuction is used in other areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back areas, or the love handles. This may be due to today’s lasers not being quite aggressive enough in creating a significant change in the thickness of the fat deposits for most body types. There is also some doubt among liposuction specialists as to exactly how effective laser liposuction is when it comes to skin tightening. That being said, laser liposuction can be an effective procedure for a small portion of liposuction candidates.
Pricing of this procedure varies a great deal depending on how much fat you want removed, which body part is being treated, or which office you seek treatment in. Patients who are interested in this procedure should seek treatment in a facility that specializes in liposculpture. It is much more likely that their results will be better compared to other less experienced offices and the pricing often times is more affordable. Pricing to selecting any method of liposuction, one should contact a liposuction specialist to find out what this procedure can do for their particular problem area.
