The most frequently performed cosmetic procedure worldwide, liposuction helps you remove excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion. This technique can be applied to many areas of the body including thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, flanks, upper arms, back, and chin. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise.
