Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and sculpt the body by removing localized fat deposits that are difficult to address with diet and exercise. During liposuction, a plastic surgeon uses thin cannulas to selectively suction out accumulated fat in specific areas, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and arms.
This procedure improves the definition of body contours, achieving a more stylized and proportionate appearance. Liposuction is ideal for people seeking an improvement in body shape and not as a method of substantial weight loss. Importantly, liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but rather a tool to address stubborn areas of localized fat.
