What is liposuction?
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise using thin cannulas. It is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method, ideal for patients at or near their ideal weight.
Which areas can be treated?
Abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs (inner and outer), arms, back, chest, chin, and knee area. Multiple areas can be treated in a single session.
