If stubborn fat is standing between you and your body goals, liposuction at Oregon Cosmetic and Reconstructive Clinic (OCRC) in Happy Valley may be the answer. Led by Dr. Tina Jenq, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, OCRC provides safe, results-driven body contouring procedures to patients across the Portland metro area, including Lake Oswego, Clackamas, Gresham, and surrounding communities.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight-loss solution but a body sculpting technique designed to refine and contour specific areas of the body.
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen and waist
- Hips and flanks (“love handles”)
- Thighs and buttocks
- Arms and back
- Chin and neck
Liposuction vs. Weight Loss
It’s important to understand the distinction:
- Liposuction reduces fat volume in specific areas, sculpting contours
- It does not significantly reduce body weight or visceral (internal) fat
- It is not a treatment for obesity or a replacement for healthy habits
Think of liposuction as fine-tuning—ideal for those near their goal weight with areas of disproportionate fat storage.
Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction offers numerous physical and emotional benefits, including:
- Improved body proportions and silhouette
- Permanent fat removal in treated areas
- Enhanced definition in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, neck, and chin
- Boosted self-confidence in clothing and swimwear
- Can be combined with other procedures (e.g., tummy tuck, breast surgery, body lift)
Liposcution Scar Placement and Technique
Liposuction is performed using small, discreet incisions, typically less than 1 cm in length. These are strategically placed in natural creases or hidden locations to minimize visibility. Dr. Jenq uses advanced techniques such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL) for precision, reduced bruising, and a smoother result.
