My Story for Free Lipo - Angelica P.

During the 2014 holiday season, Pacific Lipo offered a fifth free lipo contest. Our Liposculpture Specialist, Rod Davis, PA, has helped thousands of people reshape the way they live and we would love to help more.

Pacific Lipo is excited to announce navy veteran Angelica P. as our 5th winner for our Free Lipo contest!  Angelica entered the contest late with just a few weeks left in December 2014.  She dedicated that time to sharing her story and gaining support from friends and family.  The immediate support she received was impressive.  Angelica struggled with meeting military standards while in the navy and struggled even more with her problem areas after having her son. Like many of us, she became a full-time mother, wife, and student and turned to Pacific Lipo for help.

Hi! I'm Angelica Payan. I am Married, A mother to an adorable son & a US Navy Veteran of 4 years. Here's my story: All my life i have been curvy, which made getting into the military and staying in, a difficult task. I did everything I possibly could to stay in from taking so many diet pills, Epsom salt baths, runs 4 am every morning and to even trying to starve myself. 

After 2 years of being in the military, I met my husband and we had a beautiful life blessing that i call my son. After my pregnancy, my assets that made it easier for me to pass the military weigh ins ( small waist, small stomach) were now bigger. The assets that made it harder for me to pass my weigh ins ( big butt, thighs & hips) were now enormous! My body now didn't only affect my job, it affected my self esteem, my personality, my relationships, my marriage, my life... I am now a full time student, raising my son, and being a wife to my husband. i just want that joy of waking up in the morning, that happiness of being able to look at my self in the mirror, the good spirits i had to love myself. I just want to be happy again. Just being able to get on a roller coaster with my son would mean so much to me. I am inches away from that happening & i hope you guys can make that happen for me. Winning this contest would sure be a magnificent blessing. Thank you for this opportunity to even register. It means a lot! Like Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said rephrased " Why not me? " :)

Congratulations again Angelica!

Stay tuned for her experience and procedure at Pacific Lipo ...

Battle of the Bulge - Pubic Mound Liposculpture

Do you have an embarrassing, fatty bulge in the pubic area that protrudes? 

The good news is it's completely fixable! Pacific Liposculpture's technologically advanced procedure takes approximately 20-40 minutes to complete. The incisions are extremely small and hidden in inconspicuous areas in the natural creases of the body. A skin tightening technique is also performed at the same time. Participants in this procedure are asked to wear a very lightweight, low profile compression garment which will be provided to you at no extra charge. Call or come in today for your free consultation and get back to wearing your favorite clothes again!

The staff is amazing. I am very self conscious about my body and not one time did they make me feel uncomfortable. I highly recommend Pacific Lipo as they are awesome.

Reshape Your Tummy With Abdominal Liposculpture

Are you tired of exercising and dieting without seeing any changes to your shape? Nearly every fitness infomercial or magazine leads us to believe that we are only 90 days from the perfect body as long as we do a million perfect sit-ups and by eating minuscule portions of broiled flavorless chicken breast.

Your personal trainer would most likely prefer to see you sweating it out over the next 3 years, but that is not necessary for most people. Abdominal Liposculpture/Liposuction is a procedure that can be performed safely under local anesthesia while providing results that can be much more dramatic than exercise or dieting. At Pacific Liposculpture, we specialize in awake liposculpture procedures using micro-incisions through the skin.  These procedures provide great patient safety, minimal downtime, and dramatic results.  

View before and after photos of Pacific Lipo patients. All before and after photos shown are of actual Pacific Lipo patients and each procedure was performed by Rod Davis, PA-C (Physician Assistant-Certified). Rod Davis is a licensed and certified PA as well as Pacific Lipo’s Director of Surgery. He has performed over 15,000 liposculpture procedures.

If you or a loved one are interested in abdominal liposculpture, love handle and flanks liposculpture, thigh liposculpture, chin liposculpture, back bra liposculpture, pubic liposculpture, buffalo hump liposculpture, or male chest liposculpture, please contact Pacific Lipo in San Diego, California for a complimentary consultation at (858) 427-8899. If you live out of town, ask us about our virtual consultation option.

Real People. Real Reviews.

 Finally made the decision to have procedure done after many years of body image issues.  So glad I chose Pacific Lipo!  Rod is a master at his profession.  I felt very comfortable throughout the process from the first consultation to my last followup.  I would not have gone through the procedure, nor would I be giving such high ratings if I didn't feel comfortable with the staff at Pacific Lipo.  I can finally wear cute summer dresses now that I have a waist again ...Thank you!  - D.A. from San Diego, CA

FAQs - What Is Liposculpture?

You Have Questions, We Have Answers - Most Popular FAQs

Liposculpture is also known as Body Sculpting, Body Contouring, Lipo, Lipotherme, and Liposuction. Liposculpturing involves a more artistic approach to liposuction.  This new liposuction technique gently and safely removes fat while minimizing the risk of skin irregularities and other more serious complications compared to the more conventional liposuction methods.

Liposculpture is much less invasive than traditional liposuction and the results are just as permanent. Microsurgery techniques reshape problem areas of the body without significant trauma to the patient. As a result, there is minimal bruising and the tiny 1-2 mm scars are almost nonexistent after healing for most patients.

New liposuction techniques utilize one or more of a broad array of technologies including laser, ultrasound, power-assisted micro-cannulas, or a combination of these techniques. 

Whether it's your thighs, love handles, abdomen, arms, legs, or chin/neck that need reduction, liposculpture may be the permanent solution that you have been seeking.

Each area of the body can be tailored using the new liposuction techniques performed by our expert staff.  Liposculpture is all we do!  Have you been eager to take inches off your mid-section?  How about having thinner looking thighs or a better shaped bottom?  Our specialized techniques can significantly alter the appearance of your body with minimal discomfort.

Our staff has performed more than 15,000 procedures and we are here and ready to put our experience and expertise to work today to make your life better.

My Story For Free Lipo - Brittany H.

It is our goal at Pacific Lipo to help patients achieve a new image that reshapes the way they live. Each day in our office we see happy patients who are thankful for the work we've done. They share their personal stories with us about how liposculpture has had a positive impact on their lives. Pacific Lipo is extremely fortunate and grateful for having such great friends and clients. 

To say thank you, we would like to give back - Pacific Lipo offered a fourth free lipo contest. Our Director of Surgery and liposculpture specialist, Rod Davis, PA-C, has helped thousands of people reshape the way they live and we would love to help more.

Pacific Lipo is excited to announce Brittany H. as our 4th winner for our Free Lipo contest!  Brittany entered the contest in March of 2013.  She dedicated a significant amount of her time to sharing her story and gaining support from friends and family.  The month before our winner was announced, Brittany encountered a family emergency that required all of her time and attention.  But that didn't slow down her support system - friends and family teamed together to promote Brittany's story even more.  It was impressive and touching to see how deeply these people cared about Brittany and how badly they wanted this for her.

Read Brittany's story here:

Hi! My name Is Brittany Holland and I am 26 years young. I started following Pacific Lipo on facebook right around the time the last winner was announced. Trina. I was so amazed that Pacific Lipo offered this contest. I voted for Trina because I really liked her story. I could tell she wanted to win so bad just like I do.

I am entering to win the free lipo contest with Pacific Lipo because not only do I believe they are the best around but winning this world be a dream come true. I was a little nervous to post my story because it’s hard knowing people will finally know the struggle you deal with everyday. I try to be positive and always happy but deep down inside my weight it’s on my mind every moment of the day. I have never had lipo done before so would be a little nervous but Rod and his staff have the best reviews so I know I would be in good hands.

I am the mother to 2 wonderful sons, Victor age 4 and Noah age 2. This is when my weight gain begun. I never struggled with my weight until I had my first son, after my 2nd child. I was bigger than ever. I battle self esteem everyday, I feel so uncomfortable just to leave the house because I am so insecure with my weight. I would love to be able to wear clothing and not feel self conscious. I see the pictures and stories of the women that have won free lipo and I feel so happy for them because I know how I would feel to win. This is my chance to maybe win it and start loving myself again.

One of the hard parts of being overweight is that I work for a company that sells fitness equipment. I feel so uncomfortable when customers come in and feel like they are judging me. Again this is because of my own insecurities. I have been working here for 8 years. I try to exercise and eat healthy but sometimes it’s hard to find the time. I work full time and being a mother to 2 sons is also a full time job itself. Any free time I have I'm making sure my children are enjoying their lives. I always put my children before me and never have time for myself. I want lipo more than anything in the world. I want to feel like myself again. Winning would mean a new beginning for me, an opportunity of a lifetime! I would be able to be comfortable in my own skin. It will allow me to be more confident and have a higher self esteem. No more hiding in my baggy clothes. No more hiding in the crowd and just fitting in. I could be myself again. Beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

Thanks for listening to my story. I know there are many amazing contestants to choose from but a girl can only dream. I am including a picture of myself before pregnancy during and after.
