Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Although liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weigh loss methods.
The best candidates for liposuction are normal weight people with elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should have realistic expectations about what liposuction can do for you. Liposuction won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently, but is can enhance your appearance and give you a boost of self-confidence in the way you feel about your body.
