Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits to improve shape, definition, and overall proportion. It is not a weight-loss method, but an effective sculpting technique for individuals at a healthy, stable weight who want to refine specific areas.

Common Treatment Areas

• Upper and lower abdomen
• Flanks and hips
• Outer thighs and inner knees
• Back and upper arms
• Neck and jawline (neck liposuction)

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction targets excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck to create a smoother, more defined transition between the jawline, chin, and neck. This minimally invasive approach can enhance facial balance and profile definition.

• Small, discreet incisions around the ears or under the chin
• Minimal visible scarring
• Relies on the body’s natural tissue contraction for optimal results

How Liposuction Works

As we gain weight, fat cells increase in size and volume. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in the treated area. The results are generally permanent as long as your weight remains stable. After the procedure, the skin adjusts to the new contours—patients with good skin tone and elasticity are more likely to have smooth results. If skin elasticity is poor, additional tightening procedures may be recommended.

Combining Procedures

Liposuction can be performed alone or in combination with other surgeries, such as a tummy tuck, breast reduction, or facelift, for more comprehensive results.
