Localized fat deposits on the flanks, hips, abdomen, neck, upper arms, thighs, back, and buttocks are cumbersome for both men and women who are overweight and even those who maintain a healthy weight. Some areas of the body are simply resistant to fat reduction and despite a person’s most valiant efforts with diet and exercise.
While this can be troubling for anyone, the good news is that there are methods of removing these fat pockets permanently. At their fully accredited, AAAASF facility in Miami, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Jose Perez-Gurri and Dr. Onelio Garcia perform various liposuction techniques that target these stubborn areas to sculpt the body into a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia use power-assisted liposuction and VASERlipo®. Power-assisted liposuction uses tiny, rapid vibrations to break up fat, which results in increased safety, better results, and a shorter recovery than traditional liposuction. VASERlipo® uses ultrasound technology to separate the fat prior to suctioning and assist with the contracture of the overlying skin to produce a firmer result. Dr. Garcia has recently published a textbook on VASERlipo and is considered and international expert on the technique.
Power-Assisted Liposuction:
VASERLipo®:
Genetics determine the shape of the body and the areas where most fat is carried. Liposuction can accentuate the body’s curves to provide an hourglass silhouette for women or a firmer, more masculine V-shape for men.
Regular exercise is often insufficient to reveal muscle tone through the skin. Liposuction removes the stubborn layers of fat and sculpts the area to reveal toned muscle more readily.
All the fat-reduction techniques used at Imagos Institute of Plastic Surgery are considered safe and are performed using only FDA approved devices. Less swelling and bruising are associated with VASERLipo®, which uses ultrasound technology to separate the fat gently. We will completely customize your procedure depending on your desires for recovery time and amount of fat reduction.
The liposuction techniques used allow for increased precision during the sculpting process. Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia’s experience with the liposuction procedure has made them experts at maintaining symmetry and smooth contours for the most natural-looking results even in the smallest areas.

Patients typically plan to take up to one week off from work to recover from liposuction. A compression garment should be worn in the weeks following surgery as the body conforms to its new contours. Most of the swelling will subside entirely after two months, and the results will be noticeable. Most patients are cleared for regular exercise after four to six weeks.
At Imagos Plastic Surgery, patients will receive the highest quality of service, a tailored surgical plan, and personal care by highly skilled medical professionals. We prioritize:
