What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction suctions out unwanted fat through small, discreet incisions using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. Modern techniques allow greater precision and smoother results, making it an effective solution for refining body shape. While liposuction enhances body contours, it’s not a weight loss procedure.

Liposuction offers a range of benefits, including:
Targeted Fat Reduction: Removes stubborn fat in specific areas resistant to diet and exercise.
Refined Body Contours: Sculpts a smoother, more proportional shape.
Long-Lasting Results: Once removed, fat cells do not return.
Minimally Invasive Approach: Small incisions lead to minimal scarring and downtime.
While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to prevent the enlargement of remaining fat cells, which can affect your results.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you:
Are at or near a healthy, stable weight
Have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise
Have good skin elasticity to support smooth, natural-looking results
Have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve
