Liposuction
Remove Unwanted Fat From Specific Areas
Liposuction, also known as:
- Lipoplasty (Fat Modeling)
- Liposculpture Suction Lipectomy (Suction-Assisted Fat Removal)
- Lipo
Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours
and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.
Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours
due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.
Liposuction surgery can be used to treat stubborn fat pockets in many parts of the body. In some cases, liposuction is
performed alone, in other cases it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as a face-lift, breast reduction, or
tummy tuck.
Liposuction is an invasive procedure used to improve body contour by removing areas of fat
that've been resistant to diet and exercise. It's important to note that lipo is not intended to significantly
reduce weight, cellulite, or sagging skin.
(People with stubborn areas of fat and who exercise regularly are the best candidates
for this procedure)
