Liposuction
Liposuction is an option to slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion that diet and exercise don't address.
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the:
Thighs
Hips and buttocks
Abdomen and waist
Upper arms
Back
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin and neck
Calves and ankles
Liposuction does not remove cellulite, only fat.
A good candidate for liposuction should have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. In addition, he or she should:
Be of average or only slightly above-average weight
Have firm, elastic skin
Be in good overall health
Have concentrated pockets of fat that do not respond well to diet and exercise
People with cellulite are not good candidates for liposuction because they may develop skin irregularities in the treated area.
