Liposuction
and body contouring
Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment: it is a body-sculpting procedure. It removes localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise, typically concentrated in the abdomen, flanks, back, arms or thighs.
The result depends as much on the fat removed as on skin quality and on respecting transition zones. The extracted fat can be reinjected into the buttocks or other areas when the surgical plan calls for it.
Who is a good candidate
- You are close to your ideal weight with stable lifestyle habits.
- You have localized fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.
- Your skin retains good elasticity.
- You have no conditions that contraindicate surgery.
- You understand that healthy habits are needed to maintain the result.
