Our surgeons are at their core skilled artists, first and foremost. This is why we are named Art Lipo. It is not a gimmick. Unlike many cosmetic surgeons who like to claim that they are artistic, but have never taken any art courses, we are truly artists. Dr. Su, the founder of the practice was a Fine Arts Major studying art of the human figure prior to entering medical training. Dr. Gruber also earned a Fine Arts degree as her minor or secondary degree. Dr. Hamwi also grew up with the inspiration and immersion in art since his father is an accomplished professional sculptor. Art and artistry is in our blood which is very unique since very few plastic surgeons can really say this. We put this artistry to work each and every day with every patient. It starts with the virtual consultation where we draw out our patients anticipated shape that we envision. Then during the surgery we bring our full passion and dedication to the case. Finally, when our work of art is finished, we show our results in our before and after photos, and videos. When you peruse our website, you’ll see more before and after pictures and live patient videos than most other surgeons. This is one of the true signs of an artist since we are proud of our work and want the world to see it!
