Liposuction in San Francisco

The clinic offers laser-assisted SmartLipo performed under local anesthesia only, using a 1–2 mm incision and taking one to three hours. SmartLipo's laser energy liquefies fat while stimulating collagen and elastin production for concurrent skin tightening. Recovery is rapid — patients typically return to normal activity within one to two days. Additional options include Lipo360 ultrasonic tumescent technique, ankle liposuction, neck microsuction, and double chin surgery.

Body contouring and liposuction at Pacific Plastic Surgery Group in San Francisco uses either tumescent technique or VASER ultrasonic liposuction — a system that emulsifies fat cells with ultrasonic energy before suctioning, enabling smoother fat removal and improved skin tightening in the treated area. Dr. Edward P. Miranda (MD, FACS) customizes each case. A compression garment is worn for approximately two weeks post-operatively; final results become visible as swelling resolves over roughly three months.
