Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat through a suctioning process. Although it is not a substitute for weight loss, it can change the body's shape and contour.

Liposuction can be used to remove excess fat that does not respond to exercise and dieting, including fat around the thighs, stomach, upper arms, buttocks, or the waistline.
