About
Liposuction can target localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure improves the body proportions and silhouette. In general, considerations are made to the quality of the skin after the fat is removed to determine whether or not liposuction alone is sufficient. Common areas of liposuction include under the chin, abdomen, flanks, thighs and axillae.
