Liposuction
Newport Beach | Dr. Jed Horowitz
Overview of Liposuction
Liposuction is a highly effective body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and sculpt a more defined, proportionate physique. Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, certain areas of fat can be resistant to change — liposuction targets these areas for precise contouring.
At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, Dr. Jed Horowitz performs advanced liposuction techniques to enhance body shape while maintaining natural, smooth results. Each treatment is customized to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Patients from Newport Beach, Orange County, and throughout Southern California — as well as those traveling for specialized care — choose liposuction to refine their contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body using specialized techniques.
The procedure involves:
-
Breaking up fat cells
-
Gently suctioning fat from the body
-
Sculpting and refining body contours
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a contouring treatment designed to enhance shape and proportion.
Dr. Jed Horowitz focuses on creating balanced, natural-looking results that complement your overall physique.
What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
Liposuction can be used to treat multiple areas of the body, including:
-
Abdomen
-
Flanks (“love handles”)
-
Thighs
-
Hips
-
Back
-
Arms
-
Chin and neck
These areas often store fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

How Liposuction Works
Liposuction is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the areas treated.
Step 1: Incision placement
Small, discreet incisions are made in targeted areas.
Step 2: Fat removal
A thin cannula is inserted to break up and remove fat cells.
Step 3: Contouring
The treated areas are carefully sculpted to create smooth, natural transitions.
Step 4: Closure
Incisions are closed or left to heal naturally depending on technique.
