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.

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
DR. REZA ROD
Dr. Reza Rod, of Phoenix, Arizona, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with two decades of experience and training in enhancing natural beauty with both surgical and non-surgical techniques. His accolades include being honored as a “Top Doctor” on Real Self and being hand-selected for a fellowship at the world-famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he received rigorous plastic surgeon training. Dr. Rod is passionate about helping patients make their appearance reflect their spirit and has made breast augmentation a primary focus of his practice. He believes in combining highly technical skills with meticulous attention to detail to achieve natural-looking breast enhancement results that fit his patient’s personal goals and aesthetic ideals.
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.

Liposuction Recovery
After liposuction is complete, patients will be able to leave our Phoenix office immediately afterward. However, they’ll need to return in 10 to 14 days (as well as three months and six months afterward) so Dr. Rod can check to make sure things are healing correctly.
Because Tickle Lipo is so gentle, most patients won’t experience too much pain; if they do, pain medications will easily control it. This discomfort should fade after about three to five days. Patients should walk around as much as possible but avoid very strenuous activity for around two to six weeks.
Liposuction Results
It may take several months for swelling to resolve fully. Dr. Rod will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure that you enjoy optimal outcomes. The results of liposuction are long-lasting; to maintain results, patients must maintain a stable weight through general fitness and healthy eating. As the body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness, though improvements should be relatively permanent.
