Liposuction by Seattle Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder
Case Description
1 of 12
This 22 year old crack Seattle softball pitcher had failed repeated attempts to reshape her midsection through diet and exercise. Her health was excellent and her expectations were reasonable. She knew I would not be delivering a 22 inch waistline or a six pack. She underwent two sessions of liposuction, 3 months apart which removed about 21 pounds of pure fat from her midsection. She can expect a lifelong improvement if she is able to maintain her new post liposuction “set point weight” of 164 lbs. So far, so good. She is highly motivated to protect this investment in herself.
Case Description
2 of 12
This 26 year old nurse was tired of his love handles that would not budge despite being height weight proportionate and very fit. I removed 2500 cc of fat from his lovehandles with power assisted liposuction. He just a few weeks out from surgery in these photos.

Case Description
3 of 12
This 35 year old hair stylist has a lovely figure except for some recalcitrant fat on her tummy and hips. Liposuction helped define these areas. She was back to work after 4 days. She should have a long lasting benefit unless she gains a lot of weight.
Hip & Thigh Liposuction
Case Description
4 of 12
This 32 year old gym teacher had stubborn fat deposits on her hips and lateral thighs. I removed about 5 pounds of fat which doesn’t seem like much but it was 4 pounds of fat exactly where it wasn’t appreciated. She doesn’t miss it one bit.

Liposuction of male love handles by Seattle Plastic Surgeon
Case Description

This 45 year old Seattle first responder was height/weight proportionate but could not lose his love handles. I performed liposuction to this area and he was back in action and in uniform within a couple of days.
Liposuction
Case Description
7 of 12
32 year old with fat deposits in abdomen and flanks that were unresponsive to diet and excercise. He underwent liposuction of these areas under IV sedation and local anesthesia. A total of 850 cc of fat was removed.
Hip + Back Liposuction
Case Description
8 of 12
This 22 year old crack Seattle softball pitcher had failed repeated attempts to reshape her midsection through diet and exercise. Her health was excellent and her expectations were reasonable. She knew I would not be delivering a 22 inch waistline or a six pack. She underwent two sessions of liposuction, 3 months apart which removed about 21 pounds of pure fat from her midsection.

Hip & Thigh Liposuction
Case Description
9 of 12
This 34 year old mother of 2 was very slim except for some excess fat on her hips and thighs. I performed liposuction on these areas. The hardest part of her recovery was staying away from the gym for a couple of weeks.
Abdominal + Chest Liposuction
Case Description
10 of 12
This 40 something year old architect was a little pudgy around the middle. I performed liposuction on him and got a nice improvement. He was then inspired to start going to the gym and after a couple of months of working out, he could be a model for his Calvin Klein skivvies.
Liposuction
Case Description
11 of 12
This 43 year old attorney was fit and at a healthy weight. He wanted some trimming of his “spare tire”. Liposuction was performed and about 1000 cc (2.2 pounds) of fat was removed. He should have a life -long improvement if he is able to maintain his current weight. The tape on his abdomen is being used to flatten out at scar from a cat bite.
Upper Arm Liposuction
Case Description
12 of 12
This 52 year old accountant disliked her heavy arms. She had excellent skin tone and elasticity for her age. Circumferential liposuction of her upper arms was very successful in improving her contour with minimal scarring. I also slimmed down her underarm area. She now feels comfortable wearing short sleeves.

    Facial Procedures
    When you look in the mirror, does your face fit your inner image? Do you feel a lot younger than you look? Facial plastic surgery can help merge that image in the mirror with the way you feel inside.
    Breast Procedures
    Too big, too small, too droopy, uneven or more than one of the above? Plastic surgery can change your size and/or shape to better match your build and lifestyle. You may find that bra shopping can be fun, really fun.
    Other Body Procedures
    A healthy lifestyle goes a long way towards a pleasing figure, but sometimes even the most dedicated gym rat will need a little help. So... when you have done your best, let me do the rest!
    Non-Surgical Procedures
