Liposuction

Liposuction (Suction-Assisted & Ultrasound-Assisted Lipectomy) has become very popular in recent years largely due to the effectiveness of the procedure. It is a technique used to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body. The ideal patient should be close to their ideal body weight. Liposuction can then be used to fine tune areas of diet and exercise resistant, localized fat regions.
