Liposuction
Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles,
Newport Beach, & Orange County, California
Liposuction is a procedure to remove specific areas of fat by targeting the area with a specialized device.
The liposuction device consists of a thin, flexible metal rod called a cannula, which the cosmetic surgeon uses to target the fat to be removed; and a suction device.
Liposuction is a procedure designed to sculpt and contour the body, bringing it into more pleasing proportions by targeting specific areas of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. Some of the common locations for liposuction procedures include the belly, thighs, buttocks, and hips. Liposuction is also frequently used in body contouring procedures such as male breast reduction and abdominoplasty, and for facial recontouring, either alone or in conjunction with procedures such as a facelift or neck lift.
Contrary to some popular beliefs, liposuction is not an effective technique for overall weight loss. Liposuction is a technique for contouring the physique, and is most effective when performed in conjunction with a healthy and sensible diet and exercise routine.
