Women and men who have unwanted fat in certain areas love the option of liposuction to minimize and shape their bodies. Through our advanced liposuction techniques, our plastic surgeons expertly and easily sculpt and/or contour your body and help to dramatically improve your self-esteem. The stomach, thighs, and love handles are the most popular areas, but liposuction can be performed on virtually any area where fat cells are abundant, including the neck, arms, hips, buttocks and knees. Liposculpture provides a much smoother appearance.

Liposuction works best for patients who have localized fat with good skin elasticity, have realistic expectations, and are at their ideal weight. Liposuction will not tighten muscle or skin, nor is it a method for overall weight loss. Removal of fat is considered permanent; therefore, if you gain weight, the fat will go to another location. It is important to keep in mind that liposuction has limitations. It will only remove fat under the skin. It will not remove fat that is inside the abdomen or under muscle.

The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have excess fat in specific areas. During your consultation the doctor will recommend the most effective technique to meet your body contouring goals.
