​

Liposuction, sometimes referred to as "lipo" by patients, slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.

​

What liposuction can treat

• Thighs

• Hips and buttocks

• Abdomen and waist

• Upper arms

• Back

• Inner knee

• Chest area

• Cheeks, chin and neck

• Calves and ankles

 

Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.

​

What liposuction can't do

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise.

It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite—the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks—or loose saggy skin.
