The 4 Most Popular Areas for Liposuction (And Why Patients Love Them)
When it comes to body contouring, liposuction is still the gold standard. It’s fast, it’s precise, and when it’s done right, it can completely change the way you feel in your clothes — and in your skin. At our Newport Beach practice, we see patients who are killing it with diet and exercise but still have stubborn spots that just won’t budge. That’s where liposuction comes in.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, Dr. Pavlo Isak works with patients every day who are looking for targeted fat removal in areas that bother them most. Here’s a closer look at the four most popular areas for liposuction and what makes each one so transformative.
Stomach Liposuction
The abdomen is one of the most-requested liposuction areas because stubborn belly fat can be nearly impossible to eliminate with exercise alone. Many times, patients who undergo abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck opt for liposuction during the procedure for flawless results. Liposuction for the stomach and area around the midsection is especially helpful for patients who are at a healthy weight but still struggle with a “belly pooch” or uneven fat distribution.
Why it’s popular: The midsection is central to your silhouette, so even a small reduction can dramatically change the way clothes fit. Liposuction in this area can help create that snatched hour-glass figure look.
Who it’s for: Men and women who want a flatter stomach or a more defined waistline.
Bonus: Many patients combine abdominal liposuction with flank liposuction (love handles) to create a smooth, contoured waist.
Patients love this area because the results are dramatic and visible almost immediately — it’s like reclaiming your core.

Liposuction 360: The All Around Way to Go for a Cinched Waist
Liposuction 360, sometimes called “360 lipo,” is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that targets the entire midsection — front, sides, and back — for a complete transformation. Unlike traditional liposuction that focuses only on the stomach, lipo 360 includes the abdomen, flanks (love handles), and hips to sculpt a balanced, natural-looking shape from every angle.
We included this at one of the top four areas that our patients demand because it really does work wonders! This approach is especially popular for patients seeking an hourglass or V-shaped figure and can be combined with fat transfer procedures such as a Brazilian Butt Lift for even more dramatic results.
Performed using advanced tumescent or power-assisted techniques, liposuction 360 involves small incisions and careful sculpting for smooth, even results. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks, with swelling continuing to improve over several months.

Thigh Liposuction (Inner & Outer Thighs)
Thigh lipo is a game changer. For some patients, it’s about slimming the inner thighs so they don’t rub together; for others, it’s about smoothing out the outer thighs — those stubborn “saddlebags” that don’t go away no matter how many lunges you do.
Here’s the cool thing about thigh liposuction: it’s not just about making your legs smaller, it’s about sculpting them so they match the rest of your body. When your thighs are proportionate to your hips, waist, and calves, it creates a smooth, elongated look that makes jeans and skirts fit like a dream.
Some patients also choose to repurpose this fat and transfer it to the hips (bye-bye hip dip!), beasts, or buttocks to create a fuller, rounder shape — like a subtle, natural-looking Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Why it’s popular: Shaping the thighs creates a balanced look for the entire lower body and helps clothes fit better.
Who it’s for: Patients who notice rubbing or chafing of the inner thighs, or who want a more sculpted, athletic look.
Fat Transfer Option: Some patients choose to transfer this fat to the hips, berasts, or buttocks for a fuller shape.
Liposuction for Arms
Arms are one of those areas that can make patients feel self-conscious year-round, especially in sunny SoCal. Liposuction for arms removes stubborn fat that creates a soft or saggy look, leaving a leaner, more toned silhouette.
This is perfect if you’ve been lifting weights and eating right but still feel like your arms don’t match the rest of your body. When the fat is gone, you actually get to see the muscle definition that’s been hiding underneath.
And no — you won’t look “too skinny.” Arm lipo is about creating a natural shape, not making your arms look out of proportion.
Chin & Neck Liposuction
Chin liposuction is one of the “smallest” liposuction procedures we do — but the impact is huge. Removing fat from under the chin sharpens the jawline and can make you look younger, fitter, and more confident in photos.
It’s also one of the quickest recoveries: most patients are back to work within a couple of days, and the results just keep getting better as swelling goes down. If you’ve been avoiding profile pics or FaceTime because of a double chin, this is your chance to finally love your angles.
The goal with any liposuction procedure isn’t to just make things “skinnier” — it’s to bring your body into balance. A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Pavlo Isak can help you decide which areas will give you the most natural, sculpted results so you feel confident from every angle.
