Liposuction

Liposuction or liposculpture permanently removes localized fatty deposits through tiny incisions to give you a smoother and slimmer body contour. This procedure has been designed to target and treat fat deposits which cannot be controlled by diet or exercise. Liposuction is effective in removing fat from the neck, arms, flanks, abdomen, hips, thighs, saddlebags, buttocks, knees and ankles. However, liposuction cannot eliminate cellulite, or correct loose hanging skin. This procedure is most effective in patients with good skin elasticity. If you have good skin tone, it is more likely that your skin will respond to surgery. Depending on the extent of the surgery it can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. A compression garment is worn after surgery to reduce swelling.
