Liposuction is about balance, not volume. Removing too much too quickly risks uneven texture and skin collapse. Dr. Larson’s approach focuses on shaping within safe ranges, sometimes over 2 sessions, so proportions look natural and results age gracefully. That’s the logic guiding each of our plans for liposuction in Phoenix.
The Discipline of Detail
Stubborn areas don’t always respond to hard work. If you’re close to your goal but contours still feel uneven, we can help.
At Larson Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ethan Larson focuses on measured, natural-looking refinement. Through small incisions, careful technique, and a recovery plan that respects your life, we help you achieve your aesthetic goals. You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what to expect next.

An In-Depth Look
Doctors use liposuction to remove localized fat through tiny incisions, after placing tumescent fluid to reduce bleeding and discomfort. Dr. Larson uses slim cannulas and cross-hatching passes to blend edges, so transitions look smooth rather than scooped.
When your unique anatomy benefits, he may add ultrasound-assisted or high-definition sculpting. Cellulite and loose skin require different strategies, but if you’re interested, your provider will explain the benefits plainly and plan accordingly.
Dr. Larson has studied with the finest liposuction masters in Europe and South American to bring the most artistic and advanced liposuction skills to his patients in Arizona.
What It Treats
Liposuction targets diet-resistant fat pockets to improve proportion. It’s for shape, not the scale. We talk honestly about skin quality and choose add-ons only when they help you achieve a better result. Expect cleaner lines that fit clothing—and your life.

Our Process of Sculpting Confidence
We begin with a transparent conversation and clear visuals. During your consultation, we take standardized photos, assess skin quality, and outline a plain-English plan that reflects your priorities.
Together, we map priority zones, choose anesthesia, and confirm compression fit before surgery so there are no surprises later. Afterward, we stay close and support you as needed. This could look like answering questions about how to wear the compression, when to walk, and how to step back into work, cardio, then lifting. Photo checkpoints track progress and help establish accurate milestones.

Once your surgeon removes fat cells with lipo, they’re gone for good. What remains is your canvas. Weight gain can still expand the fat cells that remain, so lasting results depend on consistency, not perfection. We help patients build maintenance plans around real-life—nutrition that doesn’t punish and movement that feels sustainable—so your liposuction in Phoenix becomes a lasting change, not a fleeting one.
It depends on your skin’s ability to rebound. If your skin has good elasticity, liposuction alone can smooth and refine beautifully. When looseness lingers, often after pregnancies or major weight loss, Dr. Larson might combine liposuction with skin tightening or even a tummy tuck. The goal isn’t “extra treatment,” it’s integrity in contours, ensuring the shape looks right from every angle.
Yes, we can. We start by helping you determine what your true goals are. Liposuction reshapes fat, while a tummy tuck repairs stretched muscle and removes extra skin. They’re different tools for different concerns, but often work best together.
For many, it’s not an either/or conversation—it’s a tailored balance that respects recovery time, goals, and proportion. During your consultation for liposuction in Phoenix, we’ll map exactly which approach fits your frame.
High-definition (HD) liposuction takes contouring one step further by sculpting around muscle borders for athletic definition. It’s less about fat removal and more about precision—the shadows and lines that create a fit, balanced look. Dr. Larson performs HD Liposuction for those who already maintain a stable weight and want that subtle edge. It’s detail work, done millimeter by millimeter.
If your concern is mild and time is tight, nonsurgical contouring can help. CoolSculpting® and similar devices reduce fat gradually, often over multiple sessions. Liposuction achieves more in a single, controlled setting. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs and show examples of both so you can decide how to move forward confidently with body contouring or liposuction in Phoenix.
