About Liposuction

Liposuction, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove localized, stubborn deposits of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Utilizing advanced techniques like tumescent, ultrasound-assisted (UAL), or laser-assisted liposuction, the surgeon makes small incisions, inserts a thin tube called a cannula, and suctions out excess fat cells to sculpt and contour the body. This procedure is not a weight-loss solution but is highly effective for refining body shape in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries for comprehensive body contouring, offering patients a more proportionate and defined silhouette.
