​Liposuction​

Liposuction (also known as lipoplasty) is a surgical procedure which removes fat from various areas of your body where fat tends to deposit and accumulate, by using a high-pressure suction technique. For instance the procedure may be used to remove fat from your abdomen, tummy, waistline, arms, neck, buttocks, thighs or hips. Liposuction may also help in sculpting and contouring these areas. Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not generally considered an overall weight-loss technique to treat obesity or an alternative to traditional weight-loss methods. If you believe that you are overweight and you are unable to lose weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise, then you may wish to consider a bariatric procedure, such as a gastric bypass surgery, rather than a liposuction procedure. A liposuction procedure may be appropriate for you if you have excess fat in particular areas but otherwise have maintained a stable body weight.      ​​
