What Liposuction Techniques are used at Imagos Institute of Plastic Surgery?

While there are many types of liposuction out there (tumescent liposuction, lipo 360, etc.), Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia use power-assisted liposuction and VASERlipo®. Power-assisted liposuction uses tiny, rapid vibrations to break up stubborn fat deposits, 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:

  • Targets excess fat with great precision.
  • Offers a shorter recovery time and a shorter procedure.
  • Using vibration to break fat into smaller pieces which is then suctioned out by a canula.

VASERLipo®:

  • Uses ultrasound technology to separate the fat resulting in less trauma during liposuction
  • Only targets fat cells, leaving nearby healthy tissues unharmed.
  • Contracts the overlying skin to produce a firmer result.

What are the Benefits of Liposuction?

Improved Body Contours

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.

Increased Muscle Tone

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.

A Safe, Customized Procedure

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 completely customize cosmetic procedures depending on your desires for recovery time and amount of fat reduction.

Natural-Looking Results

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.

What Can I Expect with Liposuction Recovery?

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.

Why Should I Choose Imagos Plastic Surgery for Liposuction?

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:

  • Communication — This is a crucial element of the surgeon-patient relationship. We strive to establish open communication with each and every patient before, on, and after your surgery date.
  • Honesty — We strive for honesty during every step of the process. We value your health, safety, and well-being above all and will only recommend procedures that we feel would be beneficial to you. 
  • Empathy — We realize how courageous a patient must be to reach the decision to undergo elective aesthetic surgery. We will do everything we can to educate you, make you feel heard, and let you have a say in every step of the process.
  • Time — While many clinics will have you only meet with a patient coordinator in rushed appointments, at Imagos, you will meet directly with your surgeon for your consultation and follow-up appointments after surgery. 

Your Liposuction Consultation

During your personalized liposuction consultation, you will have adequate time to listen, learn, ask questions, and clarify any aspects of the procedure. Our experienced, board certified, plastic surgeons will review all your surgical options and discuss their recommendations with you thoroughly. Imagos uses a cutting-edge software program called Touch MD to help you get a better idea of what liposuction can do for you.  You will review your high-definition photos on a smart-screen with the surgeon who will map out the areas that need to be addressed to create your desired body contours.  The system allows the patient access to their files from the privacy of their home so they can review their consultation photos. TouchMD also allows the patient to track their progress along their plastic surgery journey, review educational videos on surgical procedures and more. Our friendly, compassionate team will never make you feel rushed or pressured to make a decision.

“I was referred to Imagos by a friend who was also a patient of Dr. Jose Perez-Gurri. At first, I was a bit nervous. Once I met Dr. Perez Gurri and sat in his office for quite some time I was sure I wanted for him to be the one that did the procedure on me. “

Liposuction in Miami - FAQ

The cost of your liposuction will depend on the type of surgical plan, doctor’s recommendations, doctor’s experience performing liposuction, and more. Schedule a free consultation to receive a quote.

The goal of liposuction is to reduce localized fat deposits. Since no skin is removed during the procedure, liposuction may actually worsen the appearance of sagging skin. Because of this, not all patients are good candidates for liposuction.  Our surgeons have over 30 years of experience with liposuction procedures and will advise you if the procedure is right for you. Patients with sagging skin may need a body lifting procedure (arm lift, thigh lift, tummy tuck) in conjunction with liposuction to address the loose skin. 

Liposuction is a procedure designed to improve the shape of the body. Most patients lose some pounds, but this will depend on the areas chosen and the extent of fat removed.  The focus is on shaping, not weight loss.

“Cellulite” refers to irregularities that occur on the surface of the skin. Liposuction will not cure cellulite, it will remove fat and improve body contours. Patients with severe cases of cellulite will not benefit from liposuction surgery and may require skin excision (for example, tummy tuck or thigh lifting) to achieve their desired results.

Only small scars will result from liposuction since only a few small incisions are made in the area(s) chosen for fat reduction. Scars are ¼ inch in length and will fade significantly with time. Your surgeon will place them as inconspicuously as possible so that they are not obvious.

Patients will be completely asleep during the procedure under general anesthesia. After surgery, patients may experience some pain or discomfort that can be managed by prescription pain medication. Compression garments will also help to reduce pain and swelling.

At Imagos Plastic Surgery, we believe that nobody should face roadblocks when trying to look and feel amazing. We work with our patients to develop financing options that are affordable and convenient. Plastic surgery isn’t only for the elite, and that’s why we work with straightforward financing companies that understand the needs of our patients.

Our financial advisors can walk you through all of your options and answer any questions you may have on the way.

We work closely with the leading lenders for the healthcare industry. Since everyone’s credit history and payment options won’t fit a one-size-fits-all plan, we don’t believe in offering only one financing avenue. We work closely with CareCredit®, Alphaeon® Credit, PROSPER, and United Medical Credit to find you the financial solution that meets your needs. Applying is easy and approval status is quick.
