    Welcome

    to Pacific Lipo

    At Pacific Lipo™, we understand that many of us, no matter how much we diet and work out, are still unable to change our shape. Pacific Lipo's body contouring procedures achieve amazing results in a spa-like, outpatient surgical setting. Our independent plastic and cosmetic surgeons specialize in Lipo, Tummy Tucks, Face Lifts, Breast Augmentation, and Brazilian Butt Lifts. We have surgeons who use instruments so tiny that only a local anesthetic may be necessary! We also offer various form of sedation for those patients who prefer to be as comfortable as possible. Our goal is for you to remain comfortable during your procedure, recover faster afterward, with minimal scarring, firmer, tighter skin, and smoother overall results.

    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.
