Fat is a normal component of the subcutaneous tissue layer. Fat cells may not be distributed evenly, causing some areas to be more prominent than is ideal. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that attempts to contour specific areas of fat accumulation that patients see as undesirable.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or more commonly referred to as “lipo”, is a procedure in which fat is removed from targeted areas, contouring and slimming the shape of your body.

Liposuction can be used to remove fat in many areas of the body including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, inner knees, chest, cheeks, chin and calves and ankles. It can also be performed in conjunction with other reshaping procedures, such as tummy tuck or facelift to further enhance results.

Many people choose to have liposuction because sometimes even the strictest diet and exercise regime just can’t shift stubborn fat or tackle an uneven body shape. Depending on the area and amount of body fat to be removed, liposuction, laser lipo or Cool Sculpt can help to even out your body proportions or slim a particular area.
