Understanding Liposuction

Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and shape specific body areas. Commonly targeted areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck, and back. It's crucial to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss method but a body contouring tool aimed at refining areas where fat persists despite diet and exercise.

The Procedure

During liposuction, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions. This cannula is connected to a vacuum device that suctions out fat cells. Techniques vary based on patient needs and surgeon expertise, including tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and laser-assisted liposuction.
