If you have areas of excess fat deposits that won’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can be an ideal alternative to improve the contour of your body. As the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the country, liposuction can actually reduce and reshape the size of a particular area. Liposuction works because it not only removes unwanted fat; it also removes the cells that store fat. If you maintain your current weight and level of exercise, there is no reason to expect that you will regain fat in these troublesome areas. Some of the most frequent areas treated by liposuction for both men and women are the cheeks, chin, neck, back of the arms, pectoral areas, abdomen, “love handles,” hips, thighs, inner knee, calves, ankles and buttocks. Liposuction is not a weight reduction treatment, but a method of reshaping and contouring areas of the body that are disproportionate. Because liposuction produces such immediate and visible results, the procedure has gained popularity among both men and women.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?
A good candidate for liposuction is a man or woman over the age of 18 who has a normal, healthy weight but would like to get rid of localized areas of fat. It is also important to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. When deciding whether or not liposuction is the best choice for you, make sure you have all the facts so you can make an educated and informed decision. Schedule a liposuctions consultation and we’ll help you find the perfect solution for you.
