What is Tickle Lipo?
Liposuction is the removal of fats cells in a particular area of concern. Tickle Liposuction is a unique technique that Dr Rod uses. This technique causes a soundwave that gently teases out your fat cells with a better overall result.
With over 2,000 liposuction procedures under his belt, Dr. Rod is Phoenix’s go-to surgeon when it comes to body sculpting. Liposuction is an excellent tool for helping shape the body and trouble areas when a patient is at or near their ideal weight.
Although it’s not a weight loss procedure, it helps kick-start continued weight loss with changes that happen in hormonal balance and insulin resistance.
Liposuction Candidates
An ideal Tickle Lipo patient is concerned about pockets of fat in a particular area and needs to be near or at their desired weight, this is not a weight loss tool. Liposuction can be done on the abdomen, hips, waist, arms, chest, back knees, and inner and outer thighs.
Phoenix area patients are urged to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Rod to learn more about our tickle liposuction procedure and customize a treatment that is right for you. Tickle Liposuction is a unique technique that Dr Rod uses. This technique causes a soundwave that gently teases out your fat cells with a better overall result.
Why Dr. Rod Is the Best Option for Liposuction in Goodyear & Phoenix, AZ
Choosing the right surgeon for liposuction is about more than price or convenience—it’s about experience, technique, and safety. At Dermacare Plastic Surgery, patients benefit from a unique combination of advanced technology and surgeon expertise led by Dr. Reza Rod, one of the most experienced liposuction specialists in Goodyear & Phoenix, Arizona.
Dr. Rod was the first physician in Arizona to introduce Tickle Lipo technology, offering patients access to a more refined and comfortable form of fat removal. This vibrating cannula system gently separates fat cells using acoustic energy rather than aggressive manual force, allowing for smoother contouring with less trauma to surrounding tissues.
Advanced technique backed by experience
With more than 2,000 liposuction procedures performed, Dr. Rod brings a high level of precision and consistency to body contouring. Liposuction is not simply about removing fat—it’s about sculpting natural-looking contours that align with your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Experience matters, especially when shaping transitions between treated areas.
Comfort-focused approach
Tickle Lipo is commonly performed using local anesthesia, which allows many patients to avoid general anesthesia altogether. Light oral sedation is available for added relaxation, and because of the vibrating cannula, patients often describe the sensation as a gentle buzzing or “tickling.” Some patients even find themselves laughing during the procedure—an unexpected but reassuring sign of how well-tolerated the treatment can be.
Safety and setting
All procedures are performed in Dermacare’s accredited surgical environment with trained staff focused exclusively on aesthetic care. From consultation through recovery, patient safety and comfort remain top priorities.
Areas of the Body for Tickle Lipo
Tickle Lipo is ideal for localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The technology allows for precise fat removal in both larger and more delicate areas of the body.
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Waist and flanks (love handles)
- Back
- Arms
- Inner and outer thighs
- Knees
- Chest (including male chest contouring)
- Neck and jawline (in select candidates)
Popular treatment combinations
Many patients choose to treat multiple areas in one session to achieve balanced, natural results. One of the most requested options is midsection contouring, which targets the abdomen, waist, and hips together. Tickle Lipo can also complement procedures such as tummy tuck or mommy makeover when excess skin or muscle separation is present.
What Is the Cost of Liposuction?
Liposuction pricing is customized because every body—and every treatment plan—is different. Your total cost will depend on several factors, including:
- Number of areas treated
- Complexity of contouring required
- Whether areas are treated individually or as a package
- Anesthesia and sedation needs
- Whether liposuction is combined with another procedure
As a reference point, Dermacare offers a Tickle Lipo Silhouette Package (abdomen, hips, and waist) that provides patients with a comprehensive approach to midsection contouring. Your exact pricing will be discussed during your consultation based on your goals and anatomy.
Consultation fee
Dermacare offers complimentary in-office consultations, which include a physical exam and personalized treatment discussion with Dr. Rod. This allows you to explore your options without pressure or obligation.
Financing options
To make liposuction more accessible, Dermacare provides several financing options that allow qualified patients to pay over time rather than all at once. Options include:
- Cherry monthly payment plans
- CareCredit
- ALPHAEON Credit
- Other medical financing programs
Our team will help you review payment plans and find an option that fits comfortably within your budget.
Your Liposuction Consultation
Your consultation is designed to be informative, personalized, and collaborative. During your visit, you can expect:
A focused conversation about your goals
Dr. Rod will discuss what areas concern you most, how your body stores fat, and what type of contouring will best achieve your desired outcome.
Physical evaluation and treatment planning
Skin quality, fat distribution, and overall body proportions are carefully evaluated. In some cases, Dr. Rod may recommend combining areas or adjusting priorities to create smoother, more natural contours.
Anesthesia and comfort discussion
You’ll review whether local anesthesia alone or light sedation is recommended for your treatment. Many patients appreciate the ability to remain comfortable and relaxed without general anesthesia, especially with the gentle vibration-assisted Tickle Lipo technique.
Recovery expectations
You’ll receive clear guidance on downtime, compression garments, follow-up visits, and when you can return to normal activity. Follow-ups are typically scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Liposuction isn’t limited to one part of the body. Rather, it can be used to treat patients who have unwanted fat in the waist, hips, abdomen, arm, back, chest, inner and outer thighs.
The procedure has a number of benefits for Phoenix area patients, including:
- Reshaping troublesome spots that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
- Reducing fat to decrease insulin resistance.
- Providing a slimmer silhouette for a more appealing body.
Another benefit of undergoing liposuction with Dr. Rod is that he uses the Tickle Lipo procedure, a revolutionary approach that improves recovery times and increases results. Tickle Lipo works by using soundwaves to separate fat cells from the body, which is gentler than traditional liposuction because it preserves connective tissue and causes far less pain. Most importantly, Tickle Lipo can be done completely under local anesthesia, so as to avoid all the risks of general anesthesia.
Why Dr. Rod Prefers Tickle Liposuction
