Liposuction: The Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedure — and What It Says About Modern Aesthetics
According to Allure magazine, liposuction has once again claimed the top spot as the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the United States.
This isn’t just a passing trend — it’s a reflection of how we now define fitness, beauty, and body confidence.
From high-definition contouring to skin-tightening technology, modern liposuction has evolved far beyond fat removal.Today, it’s a precision body-sculpting art form — designed to enhance natural curves, reveal underlying structure, and create balanced proportions with minimal downtime.
The Evolution of Liposuction Technology
1. High-Definition Liposuction & Etching
High-definition (HD) liposuction goes beyond removing fat — it sculpts around muscle borders to define natural tone and shape.The result? Visible abs, sharper flanks, and smooth transitions for both men and women.
This advanced technique allows surgeons like Dr. John Burns to accentuate athletic features while maintaining natural softness and balance.


2. VASER Ultrasound Liposuction
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) uses ultrasound energy to gently break apart fat cells without damaging vital tissues.
This technology:
• Preserves blood vessels and nerves
• Produces smoother, more even results
• Reduces bruising and swelling
• Speeds up recovery

3. Renuvion Skin Tightening
After fat removal, Renuvion (J-Plasma) applies plasma energy beneath the skin to contract and tighten tissues.It’s ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity — particularly for patients who’ve lost weight or want firmer contours without surgery.
When combined with VASER, Renuvion delivers unparalleled definition, smoothness, and firmness, all through tiny incisions.

The Modern Liposuction Technique
At 9201 Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Burns uses the tumescent superwet technique — a method that infuses a specialized solution into target areas to reduce bleeding and discomfort
.Key elements of his advanced technique include:
• Tumescent Superwet Ratio: Minimizes fluid shifts and enhances precision.
• Finer Cannulas: Allow for micro-sculpting and less trauma.
• Deep-Plane Liposuction: Removes fat from stable layers to prevent irregularities.
• Three-Vector Approach: Sculpting from multiple angles for smooth, natural results.
• VASER + Renuvion Combination: Merges fat removal and collagen stimulation for superior tightening.

Post-Procedure Care: The Key to Final Results
Liposuction results depend not just on surgery — but on recovery. Dr. Burns emphasizes a detailed post-op care plan designed for optimal healing and contour refinement:
• Custom Compression Garments – Promote smooth contraction and reduce swelling.
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – Speeds healing and reduces fluid buildup.
• Red Light Therapy – Boosts circulation and collagen for enhanced tightening.
By combining surgical precision with structured recovery, patients experience smoother contours, faster healing, and long-lasting definition.
