Sculpt the body and boost self-confidence by removing stubborn fat.

THE DETAILS

For individuals who routinely use diet and exercise to control their weight, liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing stubborn fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. It is ideal for normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin.

Our experienced surgeons perform this procedure at the hospital or surgical center on an outpatient basis. The most common liposuction technique used involves creating a tiny incision through which fat cells are suctioned out. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is performed in certain areas of the body for enhanced results. Following surgery, some patients experience fluid drainage from incisions, bruising and mild discomfort such as swelling, burning and mild numbness of the skin. Usually patients can resume normal activity within a few days.
