Bridal Body by Rod

Here comes the bride...
  big, fat, and wide?

Not if Pacific Lipo

 has anything to do with it!

As the big day approaches, 

brides dedicate the little free time they have to getting the perfect look. From practicing the perfect up-do, down to the french tips on the toes - brides want to make sure that every detail about them is flawless. 

One of the most frustrating parts of the wedding transformation can be getting that "perfect body". Even on a strict diet and exercise routine, it can seem near impossible to tone your problem areas or go down a size.  Pacific Lipo has a solution... 

Liposculpture

Liposculpture (Lipo) is a minimally invasive technique to permanently remove fat cells from problem areas. This advanced lipo technique is able to provide immediate results with little to no downtime, which is ideal for any bride who has a list of things to do and plan each day.

"After the first day I took my wrappings off to take a shower I was shocked because I have never seen my stomach look that small.  The results were immediate, even through the swelling I looked amazing! 

When I had gone to try on dresses for my wedding, I felt amazing and all my friends saw how I looked and now THEY want to get lipo. My coworker is actually going there next week to have hers done, too."

-Lindsey S. from Portland, OR

The liposculpture procedures contour the bodies, providing smoother curves and better definition - just the right look for a wedding gown or a honeymoon bikini.

Liposculpture is performed on various parts of the body -including the abdomen, love handles, flanks, back, arms, thighs, chin.  View Pacific Lipo's photo gallery to view before & after photos of patients.

"I am a bride to be and this is the best money I could spend to get 

ready for my wedding. I can't wait to take my new body dress shopping!

Thanks again to Rod Davis and the staff 

at Pacific Liposculpture for being so amazing."

-Katie H. from San Diego, CA

What is Liposculpture?

PACIFIC LIPO | BODY CONTOURING | SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Liposculpture is also known as Body Sculpting, Body Contouring, Lipo, Lipotherme, and Liposuction.  Liposculpturing involves a more artistic approach to liposuction.  This new liposuction technique gently and safely removes fat while minimizing the risk of skin irregularities and other more serious complications compared to the more conventional liposuction methods.

Liposculpture is much less invasive than traditional liposuction and the results are just as permanent.  Microsurgery techniques reshape problem areas of the body without significant trauma to the patient.  As a result, there is minimal bruising and the tiny 1-2 mm scars are almost nonexistent after healing for most patients.

New liposuction techniques utilize one or more of a broad array of technologies including laser, ultrasound, power-assisted micro-cannulas, or a combination of these techniques.  Whether it's your thighs, love handles, abdomen, arms, legs, or chin/neck that need reduction, liposculpture may be the permanent solution that you have been seeking.
Each area of the body can be tailored using the new liposuction techniques performed by our expert staff.  Liposculpture is all we do!  Have you been eager to take inches off your mid-section?  How about having thinner looking thighs or a better shaped bottom?  Our specialized techniques can significantly alter the appearance of your body with minimal discomfort.

Our staff has performed more than 15,000 procedures and we are here and ready to put our experience and expertise to work today to make your life better.

Tummy Tuck Alternative

Author Rod Davis, PA-C

In any consultation, I want to give patients realistic expectations of what the liposculpture procedure can do for them.  I initially told this patient that she may be happier with a tummy tuck in addition to lipo. I also mentioned that there was a good possibility her skin would remain somewhat loose even after a perfectly performed lipo procedure.  She did not want to undergo an invasive procedure like adominoplasty (tummy tuck) and finally chose lipo as an alternative.   In just 6 weeks this patient enjoyed dramatic results and was thrilled with the outcome.  Her results continued to improve.

"...Let me tell you when i went for my consultation i was very [embarrassed] for Rod to see my stomach,because it was something that was very difficult to show people, but Rod made me so comfortable,and advised me that he would be able to help me,but wasn't sure of the results that would come but assured me that I would see a difference. Right away I scheduled my procedure I had lipo done on October 8th. and let me tell you that this was the best money that we have ever spent!!!! .... I am now 4 months post lipo and I felt it was time to share this because the results that I have had are unbelievable, I am in shock at the results that I have,and I can actually wear tight fitting shirts now rather then wearing big shirts to hide my stomach..i just can't say enough about Rod and his staff they have absolutely changed my life!!!!!!!"

Male Breast Reduction for Gynecomastia

Men want to look their fittest and their best. But a male hormonal condition called Gynecomastia can lead to the accumulation of fat behind the nipples that gives the enlarged appearance of breasts. Now there's help for active men who despite regular diet and exercise, cannot rid themselves of this stubborn and embarrassing, rarely-talked-about condition.

Male chest liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for men. Pacific Liposculpture's state-of-the art liposuction procedure enables men to now get the chiseled chest and pecks they have always desired.  Pacific Lipo uses the liposculpture technique to safely and permanently remove these fat cells, reducing the size of the breast and improving the shape.  

Occasionally, for more severe cases, liposculpture is combined with excision of the breast gland for the treatment of Gynecomastia; however, most of our clients are extremely happy with their outcome without having the more invasive excision procedure of the breast gland. 

The male chest liposuction procedure takes about 60-90 minutes to complete.  With this advanced technique, patients are able to remain awake during the procedure and drive themselves home afterwards.  Little to no downtime is required and most patients return to work just a few days after procedure.

For more information about the liposculpture procedure for the male chest, schedule a consultation with liposculpture specialist Rod Davis, PA-C, at Pacific Lipo.  Consultations are free and allow for you to learn more about the liposculpture procedure and if it is right for you.

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.
