What Happens During My Liposculpture Consultation?

We often hear from our patients and visitors at Pacific Lipo that they have been thinking about or researching liposuction and the different techniques available. Some say they had been considering the procedure for months or even years before they took the step forward. One of the main reasons for this hesitation is uncertainty. Uncertainty about the procedure, if it is right for them, or if it will give the results that they are looking for. At Pacific Lipo, these are things we consider as well; we want to ensure that liposculpture is the right fit for you, which is why we provide free consultations to those considering the procedure.

So what happens at a consultation? Consultations are held with Rod Davis, PA, who also performs all of the liposculpture procedures at Pacific Lipo. Together, you will discuss the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. The different options available will be explained to you, along with the procedure itself with its risks and limitations. Our goal is to give you knowledge about the procedure and realistic results so that you can decide if this is the right procedure for you.

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."

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.

San Diego Gynecomastia - Male Breast Reduction

San Diego's leading lipo office specializes in male breast reduction treatment. Especially since we live near the beautiful beaches, 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 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 your to learn more about the liposculpture procedure and if it is right for you.

Laser Lipo - Is It Right For You?

Choosing the right technique that is best for you

In our increasingly beauty obsessed society, more and more of us seek out cosmetic procedure to improve our flaws.  Of these cosmetic procedures, one of the most popular is Laser Liposuction (also known as Laser Lipo, Smart Lipo, Lunchtime Lipo, or Vaser Laser).  

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 U.S.  Laser liposuction has been used over the past 10 years in South America, Europe, and Asia.  The procedure is usually done in an office setting and does not require the use of general anesthetic.  A very small cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 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 their procedure.  Laser liposuction is used in other areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back areas, or 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 lipo 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 remove, which body parts are 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 that their results will be better compared to other less experienced offices and the pricing is often times much more affordable.  When selecting a liposuction procedure for pricing, contact a liposuction specialist to find out what this procedure can do for their particular area.
