Liposuction Facts

Liposuction is a surgical procedure which allows a surgeon to go into your body to remove extra fat deposits and to shape or reshape your body. The excess fat is removed by going under the skin with an ultrasonic probe which will then emulsify the fat and it will be removed with the suction.

Liposuction is not just for the stomach and abdominal area. You are able to get liposuction on many areas of your body including; your hips area, neck, butt, arms, calves, face, or back. You also have the option of getting liposuction done on more than one area at the same time. For example, you could get liposuction on your stomach, back, and arms in the same day.

More men have started to opt into getting liposuction done also. The most common area for men is the chest area to reduce breast size or to remove lipomas, or fat tumors.
