Body Procedures
Liposuction
Contouring stubborn areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise
Overview
Liposuction removes localized deposits of fat to improve body contour in areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms.
It is a body-contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss treatment, and works best for patients close to a stable, healthy weight.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is liposuction a substitute for weight loss?
No — it is best suited to contouring stubborn areas in patients who are already close to a stable, healthy weight.
Will fat come back afterward?
Treated fat cells are permanently removed, though significant future weight gain can still affect remaining fat cells elsewhere on the body.
How many areas can be treated at once?
This depends on your overall health and the areas involved, and is discussed individually during consultation.
