Lipoplasty, or suction-assisted lipectomy (commonly referred to as Liposuction), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat stubborn fatty deposits that the gym and regular diet haven’t been able to address. Liposuction is an effective treatment that can target very specific areas, such as your abdomen/mid-section, hips, and/or thighs, waistline, or neck. The procedure permanently removes fat cells, leaving the body contour you have been striving for.
Led by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Bahair Ghazi, Dr. John D. Symbas, and Dr. Kendall Brooks, our surgeon-directed team brings extensive expertise in body contouring, specifically to liposuction and precision fat removal. With advanced training from institutions such as Emory University and the University of Virginia, our surgeons use refined techniques to target stubborn fat, sculpt smooth contours, and enhance natural body balance. Supported by a skilled clinical staff and working within our AAAHC-accredited facility, the team prioritizes safety, precision, and consistently natural-looking liposuction results.
Why Liposuction?
Fat cells can rear their ugly head just about anywhere on a person’s body. While diet and exercise are the best options for maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle, these fat cells will often resist your best efforts to rid yourself of them. Liposuction is an excellent option for permanently removing these fat cells and getting you the body you’ve been working toward.
What Liposuction Treats
Love handles and muffin tops:
The abdomen and waist tend to gain weight before other areas of the body, and tend to hold it the longest. Liposuction can target these areas and create a slender mid-section, allowing for those low-rise pants or a great bathing suit body.
Hips And Thighs
Women in particular tend to build up fatty deposits in this area. Liposuction can reduce fat buildup, improve leg contour, and, in turn, enhance the appearance of the buttocks.
Double Chins
Because everyone stores fat differently, even otherwise fit individuals can develop a double chin. Surgery can remove this excess fat and create a beautiful, strong profile.
Post-pregnancy
A woman undergoes many physical changes due to hormonal shifts and weight gain. There is no guarantee that her body will return to the exact condition it was in before pregnancy. For those women who continue to hold a few extra pounds after pregnancy, liposuction can help.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure; it is for people who are otherwise of a normal, healthy weight and have trouble areas that need to be addressed. Under these conditions, liposuction is amazing for helping with that last five pounds or to get that slender shape you’ve been working toward. Our Atlanta board-certified cosmetic surgeons also offer tummy tucks as another exceptional procedure to achieve your desired body.

What to Expect from Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction is intended for men and women who are struggling with persistent fatty deposits that diet and exercise have been unable to target. There are many reasons for these stubborn deposits, such as heredity. For people of normal weight and in good health, liposuction may be the only option for permanently smoothing these fatty areas.
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by making a small incision in the skin to allow the insertion of a cannula. The plastic surgeon moves the cannula throughout the fatty deposit, loosening the tissue and sucking the fat out through the tube. This leaves the trouble area smooth and in proportion to the rest of the body. In most cases, once the healing process is complete, the skin adjusts to the new shape of the area, and the stubborn fatty area is forever changed.
