At ASA SRQ, body contouring is one integrated procedure, performed awake. We remove and sculpt with liposuction, tighten with skin contraction, and — where volume or tissue quality calls for it — restore with your own fat. Liposuction and skin contraction are always performed together, in the same awake procedure, because removing fat is only half the work. That is our standard of care.
Sculpted, not sedated.
The Three Techniques
Liposuction & Liposculpting
awake, local tumescent
Liposuction removes unwanted pockets and accumulations of fat — the stubborn, diet-resistant, and genetic deposits that don't respond to effort alone. Liposculpting goes further — refining and defining the contours beneath, shaping the silhouette rather than simply reducing it. Both are performed awake, under local tumescent anesthesia, with no general anesthesia. Because you're awake, we can check balance and symmetry with you in real time — sitting and standing — so your result is built with you, not only on you.

Skin Contraction
tightening to fit the new shape
Removing fat is only half the work. As volume is reduced, the skin needs to retract to fit the new contour — skin contraction is how we help it. Using energybased technology during the same awake procedure, we tighten the skin envelope and stimulate new collagen, so the result holds and reads smooth. This is why we always pair the two: lipo and skin contraction are performed together, as one standard of care.
Areas: performed wherever liposuction is done (all body areas listed above) — and also available for the face, buttocks, breast, and hands.
Autologous Fat Transfer
your own fat, restored where it's needed
The most natural material we have is the one you already own. During the same awake procedure, we harvest your own fat and return it where it's needed — a natural, bioregenerative filler, your own tissue. Whether it's used for volume or biostimulation is a goal-driven choice.
Two purposes: - Fat for volume — restores fullness and shape. Larger volumes for areas like the buttocks and breasts; finer volumes (micro-fat) for the face, hands, and small refinements. - Fat for biostimulation (nano-fat) — improves the quality of the tissue itself rather than adding volume; this is biostimulation / bioregeneration.
Areas for volume: Buttocks · Breasts · Face · Hands · Labia Majora Nano-fat (biostimulation / bioregeneration) can be applied virtually anywhere on the face and body, wherever tissue quality can be improved.
Your procedure is performed in the privacy of our surgical suite in Sarasota, Florida. From arrival through recovery, only the Avellanet Surgical Aesthetics SRQ dedicated team is present — a calm, exclusive, one-on-one experience from start to finish.
For select candidates, Avellanet Surgical Aesthetics SRQ offers a Patient-Model option: the same procedure, in the same private Sarasota suite, with a small group of aesthetic professionals present to observe as part of the Avellanet Surgical Aesthetics medical-education mission — the training practice through which Dr. Avellanet teaches this craft to other physicians.
What stays exactly the same: Dr. Avellanet performs your entire procedure herself, start to finish. Observers watch; they never take part in your care.
Your consultation, surgery, and recovery are identical to a private surgery in every respect.
What’s different: as a Patient-Model, you share your experience — brief feedback during the procedure and a testimonial afterward — contributing to the training of other physicians.
In recognition of that contribution, Patient-Model surgery is offered at a reduced fee. It is not complimentary — surgical time, supplies, and care carry real value. Think of it as a shared benefit: an exceptional result at a considered rate, for the right candidate who values being part of the work.
