What is liposuction?
Liposuction, also recognized as lipoplasty, is a surgical intervention designed to eliminate surplus fat from targeted regions of the body. Commonly utilized for contouring the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and other areas resistant to conventional diet and exercise, liposuction stands as a sought-after cosmetic procedure. Renowned for its ability to contribute to a more slender and balanced physique, liposuction remains a popular choice among those striving to achieve their desired body shape.
What liposuction can treat ?
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the:
- Abdomen and waist
- Back
- Calves and ankles
- Chest area
- Face, cheeks, chin and neck
- Hips and buttocks
- Inner knee
- Thighs
- Upper arms
Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.
What liposuction can't do
Liposuction is not intended as a remedy for obesity nor should it be viewed as a replacement for a healthy diet and regular exercise. This procedure is most effective for individuals within a normal weight range who are dealing with excess fat. Optimal results are generally achieved for those with firm and elastic skin. In contrast, individuals with soft, thin skin due to factors such as stretch marks, weight loss, or natural aging may experience less pronounced reshaping. In such cases, additional surgeries may be necessary to address the removal and tightening of surplus skin. Importantly, liposuction is not a viable solution for treating cellulite.

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
Liposuction is a procedure tailored to the unique needs of each individual. The decision to undergo liposuction should be motivated by your personal desires rather than external expectations or societal ideals. If you find yourself bothered by stubborn fat deposits anywhere on your body that remain unresponsive to diet and exercise, liposuction could be a suitable option for addressing your concerns.

- Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
- Nonsmokers/non-vapers
