Dr. Hoffman knows that different treatment areas and different people require different treatments. He offers a variety of liposuction techniques to help you achieve remarkable results:

  • Smartlipo®, sometimes called laser liposuction, uses heat energy to loosen fat before removal, causing less trauma to nearby tissues.
  • VASER® Ultrasonic Liposuction uses radiofrequency energy to liquefy fat for smaller incisions and a quicker recovery.
  • Tumescent liposuction uses a solution to swell the fat layer for easier, safer fat removal and a more comfortable recovery.

You may be an ideal candidate for liposuction if you're generally healthy and near your target weight but frustrated by stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise. Here's what makes a good candidate:

  • Overall good health
  • Close to your ideal body weight with specific, stubborn fat deposits
  • Good skin elasticity for optimal reshaping 
  • Realistic expectations about the procedure's results

It's important to understand that liposuction is designed to sculpt and refine your physique and is not a weight loss method 

  • Targeted fat reduction
  • Improved body contours
  • Minimal scarring
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Balanced body proportions

Common Questions About Liposuction

What is liposuction recovery like?

Following your liposuction surgery, you'll be fitted with specialized compression garments designed to minimize swelling and bruising while helping your body adapt to its new contours. Most patients resume light activities just a week post-surgery, with a return to more vigorous exercise expected after 3 to 4 weeks.

Yes, chin liposuction can effectively remove a double chin by targeting and eliminating stubborn fat under the jawline. This procedure refines your chin's contour, enhancing your facial profile with minimal downtime.

Can liposuction remove my double chin?

Patients are given anesthesia during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience soreness, similar to the feeling after an intense workout, managed by medication. Most patients easily tolerate the recovery process and find any discomfort well worth the results.

Is liposuction painful?

Liposuction results are permanent because the fat cells removed during the procedure don't regenerate. However, to maintain your improved body contour, it's important to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, as future weight gain can affect untreated areas.

Are liposuction results permanent?

The cost of liposuction in the Bay Area varies based on the method chosen, the areas to be treated, and your customized surgical plan. After your consultation, Dr. Hoffman and his team will give you a detailed, customized cost breakdown.

Real Liposuction Patient Reviews

"I will start out by saying that I tend to be very critical of doctors. I expect a lot. In this case, the doctor actually delivered. I went to his office for a consultation. Dr. Hoffman was bright and informative. He gave me his opinion with no BS and no "sell." I then had smart lipo on the fat under my chin and have been extremely pleased with the result. I would definitely recommend him!"
