Liposuction at ARC Plastic Surgery in Aventura, Miami is performed by Dr. Jeremy White and represents one of the most technically versatile procedures in the body contouring portfolio. The clinic offers multiple liposuction modalities, allowing the technique to be matched to the anatomical area, tissue characteristics, volume of fat to be removed, and desired result. Traditional suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) uses a reciprocating or continuous suction cannula to mechanically dislodge and aspirate fat cells and is the foundational technique from which all other modalities have evolved. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) adds a pneumatic or electric oscillating mechanism to the cannula tip that reduces the physical effort required by the surgeon and allows finer movements in fibrous areas. Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (tickle lipo) uses a vibrating cannula at a frequency that stimulates nerve receptors in a way that patients report as a tickling sensation, potentially allowing the procedure to be more comfortable under local tumescent anaesthesia. VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) uses ultrasonic energy delivered through a probe inserted into the fat layer to liquefy fat cells before aspiration, which disrupts the fat architecture while preserving the connective tissue scaffold, neurovascular structures, and lymphatics more selectively than mechanical disruption — making it particularly well-suited to areas requiring high-definition contouring or fibrous fat (male breast, back, flanks). Laser-assisted liposuction (SmartLipo or similar) uses laser energy to both emulsify fat and deliver subdermal thermal energy to stimulate skin contraction, making it a consideration for areas where some skin tightening effect is desired alongside fat removal. Common treatment areas at ARC include abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, arms, back, bra rolls, neck and submental area, and knees. Multi-area sessions are common and pricing scales with volume and number of areas treated; consultation is required for a tailored quote.
