Liposuction

Various techniques of fat removal can be utilized to improve the shape of the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttock area, chin and neck line, and even the breasts, upper arms, calves, and knees, when fat in these areas is resistant to diet and exercise. These techniques involve the careful aspiration of fat through slim, hollow tubing specially designed to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue and skin. Once the internal contours are improved, compression garments are used to help the skin contract uniformly and smoothly. These outpatient procedures are commonly done under sedation and require minimal lost time from activities and social events.
