This is one of the most common concerns we see… and one of the most misunderstood.
Frontal bra fat is not a weight issue. It’s often genetic, and even the fittest patients struggle to improve it with diet or exercise alone.
For the right candidate, the only real solution is removal.
Using tumescent micro-liposuction, we can precisely target this stubborn pocket through tiny, discreet entry points, creating a smoother, more contoured transition from the chest to the underarm.
In many cases, removing just a small amount of fat can make a dramatic difference.
The key is timing. Treating this area earlier allows the skin to retract more effectively. As skin laxity progresses with age, achieving this level of refinement without more invasive procedures becomes significantly more challenging.
Subtle. Precise. Undetectable.
At PFRANKMD, it’s not about removing fat it’s about sculpting the body.

Frontal bra fat is a common and often stubborn concern, even in fit women. For the right patient, the only effective way to truly address it is through physical removal with micro-liposuction.
Timing matters. Treating this area earlier allows for smoother, more predictable results. With age, particularly after 50, skin laxity increases, making correction more complex. At that point, achieving meaningful improvement without a surgical lift and noticeable scarring becomes far more difficult.

This patient underwent micro-liposuction of the inner and outer thighs with removal of banana roll fat, followed by fat transfer to the hip dips to create smoother, more balanced contours.
Body sculpting isn’t just about removing fat. Strategic fat removal and redistribution allows us to refine the silhouette and improve transitions between the waist, hips, and thighs for a more harmonious result.
This patient is shown just one week after the procedure, with results continuing to improve as swelling resolves.

A double chin isn’t always about weight. For many patients, it’s simply genetics or something that develops over time.
With a modified VASER micro-liposuction technique, excess fat under the chin can be removed through a tiny incision. Sometimes removing just a tablespoon of fat is enough to restore a sharper jawline.
The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime and a quick recovery.

A simple and highly effective solution for genetic or acquired fullness under the chin, using a modified micro-liposuction technique with VASER technology. Removing as little as a tablespoon of fat through a tiny incision can create a dramatic improvement in contour and definition.
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime and a quick recovery, making it an ideal option for patients looking to refine the jawline and restore a more sculpted profile.
While CoolSculpting may seem like a simple solution for fat reduction, in rare cases it can lead to Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), an unexpected response where fat tissue becomes enlarged, firm, and difficult to treat.
The good news is there is a definitive, effective solution.
Micro Liposuction combined with ultrasonic VASER technology is the gold standard for correcting PAH. This advanced approach allows for precise targeting and removal of dense, fibrous fat while preserving surrounding tissues and supporting a smoother, more predictable outcome.
Using tumescent, power assisted liposuction with ultrasonic energy, we are able to safely sculpt areas affected by PAH, including challenging regions like the outer thighs, with minimal downtime and a high level of control.
When it comes to PAH correction, predictability, safety, and surgical expertise matter. Choosing the right technique makes all the difference.
If you have experienced PAH or are interested in Micro Liposuction, call (212) 327-2919 to schedule a consultation and see if you are a candidate for tumescent liposuction.

Choosing the Right Skin Tightening Procedure
When it comes to sculpting your midsection, the decision between BodyTite and a tummy tuck depends on your unique goals, skin quality, and anatomy.
BodyTite, a minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy, is ideal for patients who have experienced a moderate amount of weight loss and still have good skin elasticity. When combined with tumescent microcannula liposuction, BodyTite can effectively reduce fat and tighten skin—all performed under local anesthesia using the same small incisions for both techniques.
On the other hand, a tummy tuck is a more comprehensive surgical procedure. It’s best suited for patients with significant excess skin, stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and more dramatic body contouring needs. This surgery removes excess fat and skin while also tightening the underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer result.
Generally, younger patients with localized fat deposits and minimal skin laxity are better candidates for BodyTite, while those with more advanced concerns benefit from the transformative results of a tummy tuck.
Still unsure which option is right for you?

The THUTT area, a term to describe the anatomical connection between the outer thigh and the buttock, can often present aesthetic challenges for those seeking a more contoured figure. Many patients approach cosmetic procedures with a desire for outer thigh liposuction, yet they frequently overlook a critical factor: the noticeable bulge in this region is often a result of volume loss in the lateral buttock area.
To address this issue comprehensively, we perform micro-liposuction of the outer thigh combined with targeted fat transfer. During the procedure, we carefully extract small amounts of fat from the outer thigh using minimally invasive liposuction methods. This harvested fat is then processed to ensure optimal quality and viability before it is meticulously injected into the lateral buttock area.
This dual approach not only re-flattens the contour of the thigh but also restores lost volume in the buttock, resulting in a smoother, more harmonious transition between the two areas. The outcome is a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing the overall body silhouette while maintaining natural proportions.

When considering laser treatments for scars following various surgical procedures like facelifts, liposuction, and breast augmentation, it’s important to understand the timing for initiation. Patients can start laser treatments as early as 2 to 6 weeks post-surgery.
This timing is contingent upon several factors, including the complete closure of the surgical wound and the removal of stitches. Once these conditions are met, laser therapy can be beneficial in minimizing the appearance of scars and enhancing the overall healing process. Early intervention with laser treatments can promote skin regeneration and reduce the risk of abnormal scarring, leading to improved aesthetic outcomes. It’s essential to consult with a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to tailor a post-operative care plan that includes the appropriate timing and type of laser treatment based on individual healing and skin types.
Schedule a consultation to determine if your scars can be improved with scar therapy treatments.
(𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐋𝐢𝐩𝐨): Minimally Invasive Solution for Fat Removal with Local Anesthesia
Tumescent micro-cannular liposculption (MicroLipo) is a safe, effective, and predictable option for excess fat removal when diet and exercise have been exhausted. This body contouring procedure is minimally-invasive and performed through small slit incisions that don’t require any stitching.
This procedure is performed entirely under local anesthesia and requires very little downtime. Recovery is only 24-48 hours with the ability to start exercising one week after the treatment.

Here, we are using the BodyTite procedure to target the outer thigh area (and it can also be used on other areas like the abdomen, arms, and bra fat) to tighten skin, remove fat, and enhance skin texture, all under local anesthesia. BodyTite utilizes a dual approach: a thin probe placed beneath the skin paired with an above-skin handpiece, both delivering bipolar, directional RF energy to the connective tissues, causing them to contract and shrink. Often paired with liposuction, BodyTite uses the same incisions, numbing solution, and anesthesia for an efficient, effective treatment.

This treatment targets the love handles—a common area of concern for men looking to refine their waistline. It begins with the application of tumescent anesthesia, a specialized solution that numbs the area and minimizes bleeding.
We then use ultrasound-assisted liposuction to enhance precision and improve results. The ultrasound energy breaks down fibrous tissue within the fat layer, allowing for smoother removal while tightening the surrounding skin. This technique reduces trauma to nearby tissues, leading to a faster, more comfortable recovery.
The goal is to sculpt a leaner, more defined silhouette by removing stubborn fat that’s resistant to diet and exercise. With proper maintenance, patients can expect natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Tumescent Microliposuction
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. For all of the Tumescent Microliposuction procedures, we recommend you wear a garment 24/7 for one week and refrain from exercise while wearing the garment.
During our consultation, your provider will discuss with you whether liposuction will help you achieve your desired fat-reduction goals. Each patient is considered unique, and whether or not you are a good candidate will be dependent on your goals, the area you want treated, and your current circumstance.
Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a large volume of tumescent solution into the treatment area before the fat is removed. Laser liposuction, also known as laser-assisted liposuction or laser lipolysis, involves the use of a laser to melt body fat.
Tumescent liposuction is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Although minimally invasive, there are risks and potential complications that should be discussed with your surgeon before the procedure.
The length of a tumescent liposuction procedure varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat being removed. In general, tumescent liposuction can take between 1-2 hours.
The cost of tumescent liposuction can vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat being removed. It is important to discuss the cost of the procedure with your cosmetic surgeon and to make sure that you understand all of the fees involved.
The recovery time for tumescent liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual patient. In general, patients can expect to return to normal activities 1 week after the procedure, although some swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
Following the tumescent liposuction procedure, many people want to start exercising right away. While you may feel up to it, it’s recommended that you avoid any strenuous activity, including exercise, for at least one week after liposuction to allow your body time to heal and reduce the risk of post-op complications. Like with any surgery, the recovery period is critical in ensuring great results.
Even though PFRANKMD MicroLipo is performed under local anesthesia and most patients return home the same day, we are happy to provide complimentary transportation if desired. Our priority is ensuring that you feel supported, comfortable, and safe before, during, and after your sculpting procedure.
