Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular surgical procedure to remove unwanted excess fat. It is one of the commonest cosmetic surgery procedures performed nowadays. Liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercise, but it can remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods. Liposuction is particularly well-suited for men and women who are of relatively normal weight or a little overweight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. When skin is inelastic as in some older patients or after massive weight loss an additional skin tightening procedure such as tummy tuck, thigh lift, buttock lift, or arm lift may be required.
