Warning- Not for the faint of heart! In this video, I am using traditional liposuction for the double chin area. You don't hear that much noise in the background. It's because I am NOT using the power assisted liposuction device. My hand is going back and forth rapidly to break up and suction out the […]
Warning- Not for the Faint of Heart! Pictured here is the liposuction aspirate coming out and into the storage container. You can see that the good stuff being auctioned out is mainly yellow to white in color- liquid gold. This liposuction aspirate can be thrown away, or it can be filtered and processed to get […]
Warning- not for the faint of heart! "Hey, this is Dr. Roy Kim in the operating room. You can see if you wait long enough with tumescent fluid, what I'm sucking out is pure fat. There's no redness, there's no blood, it's just pure fat. If you have any questions, let me know." In this […]

The thicker ones allow me to suck out more fat, thanks to Bernoulli's principle. If you have any question, contact me. […]
