Liposuction | |
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of excess or unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, face, or neck. This is performed by surgically inserting thin metal cannulas which remove via suction pressure, excess fatty tissue under the skin.
Common problem areas such as tummy (love handles), hips, legs, male breast tissue, neck and double chin are well treated with liposuction.

Is liposuction a type of weight loss surgery?
Liposuction is not a substitute for total body weight reduction. For that, still, diet and exercise are the best options. However, liposuction is best used in situations where weight loss alone has not corrected resistant pockets of excess fatty tissue.
Is it safe? Liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure performed in the United States. When performed correctly, it carries few risks. The vast majority of our patients have no complications at all. However, issues such as bleeding, infection and asymmetry are known complications and we strive to minimize the risks as much as possible.
