Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a medical procedure in which fat is removed from specific areas of the body by using a small device called a cannula. The goal of liposuction is to improve the appearance of the patient’s body by reducing the size of fatty areas and improving the contours of the skin. Liposuction is most commonly used to reduce the size of the stomach, breasts, hips, thighs, and abdomen.โโ There are a variety of types of liposuction, including mini-lipo, traditional liposuction, abdominoplasty lipo, thigh lipo and arm lipo, breast fat transfer etc. There are a number of benefits to liposuction, including decreased/removal of cellulite, improvement in skin texture, reduced appearance of scars or stretch marks and improved body contour. Liposuction can aid with stubborn areas of fat deposits that are resistant to dieting or exercising.
