While diet and exercise are important for one's health, stubborn pockets of fat may persist. As a result, many of us do not have the figure that we want. Fortunately, VASER® liposuction can remove fat from the parts of your body you struggle with most, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs, chin, abdomen, or arms. Dr. Kirk Churukian performs high-quality, safe VASER® liposuction, a body contouring procedure, at his office in the Sunnyvale and San Jose area.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that suctions out unwanted fat from targeted areas of the body. At his practice, Dr. Churukian offers the most advanced liposuction technology currently available, VASER® Liposelection®. This ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) technique reduces trauma on the body’s tissues to make the liposuction surgery and recovery process as comfortable for the patient as possible.
Liposuction is most commonly performed for patients who are near their ideal body weight and would like to sculpt the upper arms, abdomen, love handles, hips, lower buttocks, inner and outer thighs, or the areas above the knees. Patients may also choose to have facial liposuction to touch up the chin and neck.
If you are near your target weight, but have stubborn deposits of fat in certain areas of your body that are resistant to diet and exercise, VASER® liposuction can help you safely and effectively achieve a more desirable appearance. Dr. Kirk Churukian sometimes performs VASER® liposuction with other body contouring procedures, such as tummy tuck, at his practice near San Jose and Sunnyvale.
