LipoSculpting: the Minimally Invasive Liposuction
* Images are blurred for Online Compliance.
Body sculpting with liposuction can produce amazing results with recent technological advancements in cosmetic surgery. As we age and grow, heredity and other factors often lead to the development of “problem areas” of fat accumulation in a variety of typical areas (e.g., ‘love handles’, ‘saddle bags’, ‘jowls’, ‘under arm flab’). Sometimes, try as we may, the traditional strategies of dieting and exercising just don’t work to get rid of these stubborn fat deposits and we need to consider more aggressive options. In situations like these, body sculpting via liposuction (sometimes called ‘liposculpture’) can help you to regain that youthful, sleek body profile.*
Recent advancements in the field of liposuction make this technology ideally suited to sculpting the body with enhanced precision and control. Procedures like Smartlipo™ Laser Liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction involve smaller surgical tools and energy sources that can help to dissolve fat and tighten overlying skin. These new body sculpting technologies provide enhanced targeting of localized fat deposits, minimal recovery time, one day liposuction, minimal liposuction cost and are improving treatment of problem areas on the chin, neck, arm, thighs, back, and buttocks.*
Latest Body Sculpting / Liposculpture Technologies Offered at Soluna MD:
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction—also known as Smartlipo—was one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in 2007* and provides a unique, body sculpting modality to target smaller problem areas. Targeted laser energy acts to liquefy fat, coagulates blood vessels and simultaneously tightens overlying skin. Learn more on our Smartlipo Laser Liposuction page.*
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction is a safe, effective form of liposculpture that uses high frequency sound waves emitted from the end of a specialty cannula to help rupture (or emulsify) fat and make its subsequent removal much easier. One special form of ultrasound liposuction is VASER® Lipo or LipoSelection®, which uses tissue-selective ultrasound energy to target unwanted fat, preserving other important surrounding tissues blood vessels, nerves, and connecting tissue and promoting smoother contours with rapid healing.*
Power-Assisted Liposuction
This term refers to a refinement of the liposuction procedure where the tip of the cannula mechanically vibrates (at speeds up to 5000 times per second) in order to break up fat cells and make their removal via suction easier. Power-assisted liposuction (or PAL) reduces the force required by the surgeon to manipulate the cannula, and can reduce overall procedure time and recovery.*

In his busy practice, Dr. Chang feels that almost everyone is a candidate for SmartLipo Ultra as we all have either stubborn areas of fat or have generalized obesity. Whether the patient is extremely fit and has small stubborn areas that will not go away with exercise or the patient is significantly obese, most patients are candidates for SmartLipo Ultra as long as realistic and proper expectations are clearly outlined. Having performed over 2000 SmartLipo Ultra procedures, Dr. Chang is well aware of the goals and limitations of this procedure. He will clearly explain what is expected in terms of the fat reduction, change of body shape, recovery period, and skin expectations. Dr. Chang’s ultimate goal is to melt away as much fat as possible and to fundamentally change the patient’s shape for the better. Furthermore, Dr. Chang will honestly inform the patient if he or she is not a candidate for SmartLipo Ultra due to medical reasons, body fat distribution, minimal improvement in an area or improper expectations.*
You May Be an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction If:
You are mildly or moderately overweight*
You are in generally good health*
You are struggling with a few problem areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise*
You have realistic expectations of what a body sculpting procedure can do for you.*
On average, the operating room costs are about $1500 per hour and the liposuction costs are about $3000 per area.
Factors to consider when evaluating the price of liposuction:
Do you have to be turned over during the surgery? If you want liposuction on your back side and your front side, you will need to be turned during surgery. Just the turning process takes about a half hour in the operating room. This adds considerably to the cost of surgery since you have to pay for the operating room time.
How much volume are you having suctioned? Liposuction takes time - especially for a surgeon who is careful about technique. Using smaller cannulas leads to smoother results. However, it takes longer to suck the same volume through a small cannula versus a large cannula. So, once again, you are paying for a longer procedure, but receiving superior results.
Which areas are you having suctioned? Just as the back to front adds time and cost to the procedure, different areas require different positioning. This takes time and energy during the procedure and adds to the cost.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chang and his staff. I received liposuction on my stomach in 2018. The doctor and his staff are friendly, caring, professional and knowledgeable. I was and still am very satisfied with the procedure. I had minimal pain, a fast recovery and no problems after. The procedure was also very affordable, especially since they did not have to put me under sedation, they just numbed the area. I was so satisfied with my experience that I went back and had a facelift in 2019. I recommend Soluna MD to all of my friends and family because I believe that they also will be satisfied with any procedures they may have.

—Diana Gomez
Dr. Chang is an exceptional surgeon. I had Smart Lipo done on my abdomen and love handles. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in a similar procedure. Dr. Chang took the time to explain every step of the procedure to me so I understood what to expect. There was a bit of pain here and there but it was exactly what Dr. Chang told me to expect. I am planning to go back to have another procedure done in the near future because I was very impressed with his work!
