Our fellowship-trained surgeons, Dr. Kevin Chen and Dr. Brian Mailey, use their extensive training to go beyond basic fat removal, sculpting your body with a deeper understanding of your anatomy.

What Breast Augmentation Can Do For Your Body & Your Confidence
Breast augmentation can restore volume, shape, and correct asymmetry in your breasts, giving you the proportionate, balanced contours you’ve always wanted.
i.
Restore Shape & Volume After Pregnancy
If pregnancy or breastfeeding has caused volume loss in your breasts, augmentation can restore fullness and make your chest look more proportionate to the rest of your body.
ii.
Correct Asymmetry or Signs of Aging
If your breasts are uneven or have started to sag over time, augmentation can create a more symmetrical, balanced appearance.
iii.
Create The Shape You’ve Always Wanted
Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change, Dr. Chen and Dr. Mailey personalize your procedure to create the shape and proportion that feels right for you.
Is Liposuction Right For Your Goals?
If you’re frustrated with stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction can refine your shape and sculpt the curves you’ve always wanted.
Liposuction may be right for you if:
- You have stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet or workouts
- You’re close to your ideal weight but want more definition
- You want to enhance your natural contours
- You have decent skin elasticity
- You’re in good overall health
Breast reconstruction rebuilds breast shape and symmetry after surgery, injury, or medical treatment.
Liposuction may not be right for you if:
- You’re looking for a weight loss solution
- You have significant loose or sagging skin
- You’re not at a stable weight
- You have difficulty exercising or staying active because of your breast size
Depending on your goals, Dr. Chen and Dr. Mailey may recommend another option, such as a tummy tuck, body contouring, or a mommy makeover. Not sure which approach is right for you? Let’s talk about your goals

Our Surgeons Answer Your Top Liposuction Questions
How much does liposuction cost?
The cost of liposuction depends on the areas treated and the extent of contouring you need. We’ll provide clear pricing during your consultation, so you can plan with confidence.
Will lipo help me lose weight?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure; it shapes and refines your body. You’ll see the biggest difference in your contours and proportions rather than the number on the scale.
Can I combine liposuction with other procedures?
Yes! Many patients choose to combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation for a more complete transformation. We’ll recommend the right approach based on your goals.
How long will my results last?
Your results can last for many years as long as you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
