Skin & Skinnier

Skin & Skinnier is a boutique practice and medical spa located in Suite F at 702 Pearl Street in La Jolla. The practice describes its location as San Diego and La Jolla, and it is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Staff speak Spanish.

Body contouring is the main focus. Lipo 360 liposuction is offered alongside awake liposuction, which is done under local anesthesia so the patient stays awake. A natural fat transfer can be added to liposuction for an additional cost that typically runs under $2,000 on top of the liposuction fee. Add-on areas include the chin, arms, anterior armpit fat, inner and outer thighs, knees and calves. The practice also offers a Brazilian Butt Lift using the patient's own transferred fat, and a Skinny BBL, a more subtle, natural-looking version of that procedure. Breast fat transfer uses fat taken from areas such as the arms, abdomen, flanks, waist or thighs, with no implants. According to the practice, it suits a size enhancement of one to two cups, more upper fullness or more defined cleavage, and it is performed under local anesthesia. AlloClae, a non-invasive regenerative adipose matrix injectable, is used for breasts and buttocks.

Beyond body contouring, the practice offers cosmetic injections, including BOTOX for facial slimming of the lower face and jawline, dermal fillers for balancing the cheeks, chin and jawline, lip augmentation, and Kybella. For those considering chin liposuction, Kybella is offered as an alternative. Skin rejuvenation services include J-Plasma skin tightening and laser tattoo removal. Tattoo removal uses medical-grade laser technology, and the number of sessions depends on ink color, tattoo depth and skin type. A weight loss membership uses GLP-1 medication, with monthly check-ins with Dr. Torres.

Every treatment starts with a conversation about the patient's goals, concerns and lifestyle. Free consultations and personalized quotes come with no obligation. The site shows a 4.5 rating from over 100 reviews. The practice says it rates among the best in Southern California and the United States for awake liposuction, and that Dr. Torres is one of the world's most distinguished experts in Skinny BBLs; these are the practice's own claims.

Focuses on subtle, natural-looking results, with each treatment planned around the patient's goals, concerns and lifestyle.
