360 Liposuction
360 Liposuction treats full arm, thigh, and leg contours by removing fat 360 degrees around the limb. This advanced technique addresses cosmetic and lipedema cases, offering superior sculpting compared to traditional limited-area liposuction. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times and dramatic, long-lasting results.
Lipedema Surgery
Specialized liposuction for lipedema patients targets abnormal fat accumulation in legs and arms. The procedure removes thicker fat deposits comprehensively, alleviating symptoms and improving mobility. Our surgeons combine medical expertise with artistic precision to deliver functional and aesthetic improvements for chronic lipedema conditions.
Celebrity Arms
Celebrity Arms reshapes upper limbs by removing excess fat 360 degrees around the arm. Developed by Dr. Su over a decade ago, this technique creates sculpted, defined arms through circumferential fat removal. Patients achieve toned appearances unattainable through diet or exercise alone.
Awake Liposuction
Awake Liposuction uses tumescent local anesthesia for safer, more precise procedures. Patients remain conscious during surgery, allowing real-time adjustments for optimal contouring. This approach eliminates general anesthesia risks while enabling multi-session treatment plans for complex cases.
Virtual Consultation
Virtual Consultations allow remote evaluations via photos and video calls. Surgeons assess candidacy, discuss treatment plans, and visualize outcomes without in-person visits. This service streamlines pre-operative planning for both local and out-of-state patients seeking expert liposuction guidance.

Questions
What distinguishes Art Lipo's liposuction techniques?
Art Lipo pioneers 360-degree liposuction that treats full circumferences of arms, thighs, and legs, unlike standard liposuction that targets isolated areas. Our awake liposuction approach enhances safety and precision.
How does Art Lipo treat lipedema?
Our lipedema surgery removes thicker fat deposits comprehensively 360 degrees around limbs. With 5,000+ cases treated, we address both functional limitations and aesthetic concerns through specialized liposuction techniques.
What is awake liposuction and its benefits?
Awake liposuction uses local anesthesia instead of general, eliminating associated risks. Patients remain conscious for real-time adjustments, allowing safer multi-session treatment plans and faster recoveries.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we provide financing options for qualified patients to make liposuction procedures more accessible. Our team helps coordinate payment plans that suit individual financial situations.
What's recovery like after 360 liposuction?
Recovery varies by treated area but typically involves 1-2 weeks of mild discomfort. Patients see immediate results post-op, with final outcomes emerging after 3-6 months as swelling subsides completely.
How can out-of-town patients access services?
We streamline care for out-of-state patients through virtual consultations, travel coordination, and short post-operative stays. Most procedures allow flying home within 1-2 days with our optimized recovery protocols.

I usually don't write reviews but I'd be remised if I didn't. Dr. Su and his staff are PHENOMENAL. Their service embodies EXCELLENCE, UNDERSTANDING, and CUSTOMER CARE. I received the Arm Lipo along with my back and sides. I was a nervous wreck considering I've never had any kind of bodily augmentation before. I asked Raechelle a million and one questions, and not once did she become annoyed or frustrated with me. She thoroughly answered all my questions, and reassured me I was going to be ok. Dr. Su was extremely kind, patient and precise. After finding out he's not only a surgeon but an actual
