WHY LIPOSUCTION?

Benefits of Liposuction


Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from various areas of the body, commonly the belly, thighs, flanks, upper arms, buttocks or jawline. It is not a weight-loss surgery, but is intended to treat areas of stubborn fat that remain despite workout and exercise regimens. Specific areas commonly treated include the “bra roll,” “fat pad” (just in front of the armpits), flanks (love handles), and under the chin.
