Liposuction

Permanently remove stubborn fat from specific body areas through small incisions.

Liposuction removes diet-and-exercise-resistant fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, or under the chin using a thin cannula through small incisions. Modern techniques (VASER, tumescent, power-assisted) make recovery faster and results smoother than traditional lipo. Best for patients near their goal weight who have stubborn areas of fat.
