Liposuction
At times, diet and exercise alone are not enough to remove areas of stubborn fat. Liposuction can help by removing these areas of excess fat, leaving you with beautiful, rejuvenated body contours.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction, or “lipo” for short, removes areas of stubborn fat, helping to slim and reshape your body. During surgery, a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted through small incisions. The cannula is carefully passed through the fatty tissue breaking up the fat tissue and suctioning it out. The fat is collected to be disposed of or can be saved and prepared for fat transfer procedures (fat grafting).
Liposuction can be done on various parts of the body, including: abdomen, back, waist, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck
