LIPOSUCTION
and how it can help you

2. WHAT IS
LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is a body
contouring surgical
procedure that reshapes
targeted areas of the
body. This procedure
improves your shape and
proportions by removing
localized pockets of fat in
various parts of the body.

3. WHY LIPOSUCTION?
Despite your best
efforts, diet and exercise
are sometimes not enough.
Stubborn pockets of fat
may remain and leave you
frustrated as you try to
achieve a healthy, trim
physique.
Liposuction can be a
solution for those who are
near their ideal weight but
need that extra help to
eliminate unwanted areas
of fat. It can improve the
way your body looks and
also the way clothes fit.

4. CANDIDATES FOR
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is ideal for those who are
already near their desired weight but
wish to remove pockets of unwanted
fat. It's important to know that
liposuction is not intended as a weight
loss solution. Ideal
candidates include:
Those at a healthy weight
Those in good physical health
Those with good muscle tone and
firm skin
Those willing to continue a
healthy lifestyle after the
procedure

5. LIPOSUCTION AND
THE UPPER BODY
Liposuction can be performed on
many parts of the body,
including parts of the upper body:
Neck, chin, and cheeks: Slenderizes
the neck, reduces a double chin, and
reduces the appearance of puffy
cheeks
Chest and back: Reduces or
eliminates back rolls by removing
underarm fat
Breasts: Fat can be removed from the
breasts to reduce their size or
transferred to augment the breasts
without the need for implants.

6. LIPOSUCTION AND
THE LOWER BODY
Liposuction can be performed on many
parts of the body, including parts of
the lower body:
Ankle and calves: Trims and defines
Inner knee area: Provides shape and
contouring
Thighs and hips: Smooths and
improves silhouette
Buttocks: Fat can be removed to
improve size and shape
Waist and abdomen: Slenderizes the

procedures to address
multiple issues. It can be
combined with:
Breast Augmentation
Breast lifts

8. MEDICAL REASONS

cosmetic procedure. But
there are a few medical
conditions that can be
treated with liposuction.
For example:
Removing benign tumors that
contain fat
Removing excess fat from men
with gynecomastia
Treating some of the symptoms of
lipodystrophy

9. THINGS TO KNOW

part of the body but may take longer for multiple
