Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body to improve shape, contour, and proportion. It is designed for individuals who maintain a healthy weight but struggle with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, neck, and chin. During the procedure, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to suction out fat, using techniques such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted (VASER), or laser-assisted lipolysis.

Liposuction is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the area and amount of fat being removed. Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to light activity within a few days and full activity in a few weeks.While not a weight-loss solution, liposuction provides long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle, enhancing body contours and overall confidence.
