Arm liposuctionis a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat from the arms.
This procedure creates a harmonious contour and promotes natural skin retraction in cases where skin laxity is minimal.
Abdominal liposuctionis a cosmetic surgery procedure that permanently reduces fat deposits in the stomach and abdomen, resulting in a flatter stomach and a more contoured silhouette. The fat that is removed does not return, but a healthy lifestyle is recommended to maintain the results. As long as patients do not gain excessive weight over time, the results of liposuction will be permanently visible after recovery.
Abdominal liposuction may be performed on its own or in combination with atummy tuckif there is excess skin on the abdomen.
Removing fat tissue through liposuction does not always cause the skin to shrink to fit the treated area. This explains why, after liposuction, some people are left with loose skin, especially if they were previously significantly overweight or had a lot of excess skin. In such cases, a “facelift” procedure will be necessary to remove the excess skin, which can be performed during your liposuction.
Abdominal liposuction is a body contouring procedure rather than a method for weight loss. Even if you weigh slightly less after recovering from liposuction, a significant amount of fat can be removed in a single procedure. Liposuction is highly effective for reshaping the body and removing fat cells from areas that typically do not respond to diet or exercise.
Thigh liposuction targets all areas of the thigh: the outer thigh (also known as “saddlebags”), the front, back, and inner thigh.
This procedure is the most commonly requested.
Thigh liposuction removes excess localized or diffuse fat deposits.
The contours of your thighs will be reshaped to perfectly complement your natural body shape.
Knee liposuctionis a common cosmetic surgery procedure designed to refine the shape of the knees.
It can be performed on its own or in combination with procedures on other areas, such as thigh liposuction or calf liposuction.
Calf liposuctionis a cosmetic procedure designed to slim the calves.
This procedure is used to slim the calves when their size is out of proportion with the rest of the leg and involves suctioning the entire circumference of the calves.
This procedure can also be performed in conjunction with liposuction of other nearby areas—such as the thighs, knees, and ankles—to harmoniously slim the legs.
Ankle liposuctionis a cosmetic procedure designed to slim the ankles.
This procedure removes fat deposits while preserving the surrounding tissue.
This procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with calf liposuction or knee liposuction.
This area can also be treated as part oflipedema treatment.
