Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits to create more defined, balanced proportions.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove localized pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
This procedure can be used on areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, chin, or chest, depending on the patient’s needs. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but it can help refine body shape and improve proportion when a patient is close to their goal weight.
During treatment, fat is removed through small incisions using a thin tube called a cannula. The goal is to sculpt smoother, more balanced contours while maintaining a natural appearance. Liposuction may be performed alone or combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, or breast surgery.
Small incisions are used to access targeted areas. A thin cannula is used to break up and remove fat, helping create a smoother, more refined contour and improved proportions.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is best used to address localized pockets and improve contour in specific areas.
You will follow a post operative plan that may include compression garments, activity restrictions, and medication guidance for comfort. Swelling improves gradually, and final contour can take time to fully settle.
Removed fat cells do not return, but results are best maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
