Pacific Lipo

Clinic Profile

Pacific Lipo (pacificlipo.com) is a state-of-the-art, AAAHC-accredited surgery center focused on body contouring and liposculpture. The practice is built around the idea that many people, no matter how much they diet and exercise, still can’t change their shape — and its procedures aim to deliver results in a spa-like, outpatient surgical setting with faster recovery, minimal scarring, and smoother, firmer results. Some procedures can be performed with only local anesthetic, and various forms of sedation are also available.

Background and History

The Pacific Lipo clinic was founded in 2010 and established its main office in the picturesque city of La Jolla in San Diego. From its early days, it aimed at increasing safety standards and obtained accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
