Dr. Piazza treats diet-resistant fat pockets — the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms — using MicroAire PAL® power-assisted liposuction and a gentle tumescent technique that means less bruising and a smoother recovery. Every case is performed personally, one patient at a time, at Austin's accredited Inspire Surgery Center.
Why Patients Choose This Procedure
MicroAire PAL® liposuction with tumescent technique means less bruising and swelling than traditional methods.
Common diet-resistant fat pockets are treated in a single, personalized session tailored to your anatomy.
Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, with final contours visible by 6 months.
Liposuction is frequently combined with a tummy tuck or facelift for additional, finishing-touch contouring.

Getting Started
Liposuction can be used to complement other surgical procedures, such as a tummy tuck or a facelift. Used sparingly, it can provide the finishing touch to another procedure for additional contouring.
The fat will not return to the specific area treated, though an unhealthy lifestyle may result in weight gain elsewhere. Liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery — it's a body-contouring procedure.
In the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon, liposuction is extremely safe. As a standalone procedure, the major complication rate is less than 1%.
