Dr. Sherif's Approach

Dr. Sherif believes that liposuction is critical tool in aesthetic surgery, allowing Plastic Surgeons to sculpt to perfection. His focus is on proportion: how your waist flows into your hips, how your thighs transition to your knees, or how your chin complements your profile. Aggressively targeting deeper fat while allowing superficial fat to redrape with the soft tissues creates a dramatic change without contour irregularities. 

 

Dr. Sherif utilizes the most advanced tools available in liposculpture including VASER ultrasound assisted liposuction, power assisted liposuction, and energy based devices for concomitant skin tightening. 

 

When desired, the fat can be processed and re-injected into areas requiring volumization such as the face, breasts, and buttocks. 

 

His approach includes:

  • VASER and power-assisted liposuction for efficient, even fat removal

  • 360° contour strategy to ensure harmony across the treated area

  • Fat preservation option for transfer to hips, buttocks, or face if desired

No—liposuction targets localized fat deposits for contouring. Ideal candidates are near their goal weight and seeking improved shape, not scale changes.

Fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, remaining fat cells can grow with weight gain, so stable lifestyle habits are key.

If your skin has good elasticity, it will retract on its own. For patients with looser skin, Dr. Sherif may recommend tightening procedures or combination surgery such as a tummy tuck.

Incisions are very small (3–5mm) and placed discreetly. Most fade to nearly invisible within a few months.

Yes—Dr. Sherif frequently treats the abdomen, flanks, and arms/legs in a single session. This is planned thoughtfully to maintain safety and balance. Sometimes if enough fat is removed, an overnight stay in the recovery facility is required.
