Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, is a technique that is used to remove undesired fat deposits from areas of the body. These areas include the facial region such as the cheeks, neck, and chin. Liposuction can also be performed on the upper and lower body. Upper body targets include the upper arms and above the breasts and the abdomen. The lower body areas targeted by liposuction can include the knees, ankles, calves, buttocks, thighs, and hips.The result of this procedure is a sculpting of any bulging areas into more attractive contours.

The liposuction procedure will remove fat cells in order to improve your body’s shape. After the procedure has been performed, any additional weight gain will go to the fat cells that have been left in your body which will allow you to gain weight more evenly instead of specifically in certain areas. This will occur because the fatty deposits that existed prior to the procedure in centralized areas can no longer swell out of proportion to rest of the body. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss procedure.
