What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that the general public is more aware of than most other plastic surgery procedures. Still, it’s worth noting that several different variants and techniques might be employed. So, what exactly is liposuction? This process involves a surgical team removing excess, unwanted fat through a hollow instrument (a cannula). The cannula has a high-powered vacuum, which does an excellent job of removing the fat from the targeted body area. This is not considered an overall weight loss method; rather, it’s used for physical appearance enhancement.

Improve Your Appearance

Have you ever struggled to eliminate one specific fat area in your body? It’s a major irritation, especially when you’ve done everything you can to shift it before, and it simply won’t go. It can make you unhappy with your physical appearance, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. The subtle impact of a liposuction procedure can remove unwanted fat and make you happier with your figure. Once you’re more comfortable with your physical appearance, you feel better in other ways. You’ll enjoy life a lot more with more confidence and self-esteem.

Targeting Areas

A liposuction procedure is not intended to completely rid the body of huge fat deposits – as mentioned before, and it’s a procedure meant to enhance the physical appearance of the person having the liposuction. Some areas on the body are particularly popular for liposuction patients, including the abdomen, back, buttocks, chest, hips, flanks, and thighs – to name a few. If you’re unhappy with these areas, or other parts of your body, we can help you.

Liposuction Techniques

Several different liposuction techniques might be leveraged to give you the results you’re looking for – it depends on your physical condition and the area you want to remove fat. We’ve used techniques such as tumescent liposuction, dry liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction in the past, for example. We’ll give you a thorough run-through of what will happen with your procedure before it takes place.
