Body

The removal of unwanted, localized fat by suction technique is a surgical procedure that offers an improved body contour with minimal scarring.

It is important for patients to understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss alternative, but rather a way to treat isolated areas of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet in order to enhance the natural contours of the body and improve the appearance of a person’s figure. The most common areas of the body where liposuction is performed are on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, neck, chin, back, and flanks. Fat cells increase in size and volume with weight gain. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area. The resulting contour changes are long-lasting if your weight remains stable. Liposuction will not improve cellulite dimpling or other surface irregularities present before the procedure. It also will not get rid of stretch marks.
