Still frustrated by that one area of stubborn fat, even though you’re doing all the right things? You're not alone. This week, I’m  revisiting my conversation with Dr. Aria Vazirnia, a board-certified dermatologist and expert in liposuction and lipedema.

I break down what liposuction actually is (and what it’s not), how it compares to non-surgical fat reduction options like CoolSculpting, and what makes someone a good candidate. 

I also share my own midlife shifts and the frustrations that come with them. If you’ve ever felt discouraged when your body doesn’t respond the way it used to, this episode will help you feel more informed—and less alone.

Key Takeaways:

  • Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss tool.
  • Non-invasive options like CoolSculpting aren’t better—they’re just different.
  • The safest liposuction is done while awake—not under general anesthesia.
  • Ideal candidates are those already at or near their target weight.
  • Genetics—not lack of discipline—often drive fat distribution.
