    WHY CHOOSE

    Pacific Lipo

    At Pacific Lipo™, we specialize in cosmetic surgery and body contouring procedures for patients in San Diego (La Jolla), Newport Beach (Orange County), and Beverly Hills (Los Angeles). We understand that even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, stubborn fat and certain areas of the body can be difficult to change. Our experienced independent plastic and cosmetic surgeons offer personalized treatments, including liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, breast augmentation, Brazilian butt lifts (BBL), and facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts. With a strong focus on patient safety, quality of care, and natural-looking results, our surgical facilities provide a comfortable, spa-like outpatient environment supported by established safety protocols. All three Pacific Lipo surgical facilities in San Diego, Newport Beach, and Beverly Hills are accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), reflecting our commitment to nationally recognized standards of patient care and safety. Depending on the procedure and individual patient needs, treatment options may include local anesthesia or various forms of sedation for added comfort. Whether you're looking to address stubborn fat, restore your body after pregnancy, or enhance your natural contours, our goal is to provide a personalized surgical experience that prioritizes patient safety, comfort, and informed decision-making.

    Patient Reviews

    After 40 plus years with the same silicone breast implants, it was time for them to go. They had ruptured and I believe were starting to affect my health. I have been to a previous Doctor who wanted to take them out, put in bigger implants, give me a tummy tuck and liposuction. Well that all sounds wonderful it's not what I wanted nor would I could afford. When I met Dr G he just understood what I wanted. He was very kind, gentle, patient, and he gave me exactly what I wanted. ?In my 73 years I can remember only one doctor that I felt had bedside manner comparable to Dr G.

    Best facility to have when making the big decision of getting any surgery done! The complete staff and Dr. R Guttikonda have been so great in making my first major surgery amazing and comfortable! Since coming across their website, to simply just calling and getting over the phone information, booking my virtual and in person consultation, pre surgery, day of surgery and post surgery everything has been so accurate and wonderful with them. Thank you again Dr., Stephanie and all the staff for always being so friendly and concerning. To anyone who is interested in getting surgery done with them, you will be in amazing safe hands!

    From the first time scheduled at Pacific Lipo La Jolla to consult to surgery date and post-op EVERYONE I encountered has been truly AMAZING. Stefani the Front Office Manager Patient Coordinator is my New BFF. She has been there for me since day one and even now 4 weeks out. She is caring and professional. Dr. Guttikonda performed my BBL. He knew what I wanted what was best for my body type and sculpted me to PERFECTION! We cant thank him enough for the FABULOUS job he performed.
