Liposuction

MUMMY MAKEOVER

Liposuction is a method of removing pockets of fat buildup. Small incisions are strategically made in different areas of the body. A narrow cannula (thin metal tub) is inserted into these incisions, and the fat is then removed with a suction device. Liposuction sculpts the body by removing unwanted fat from certain body areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, upper arms, chin, thighs, cheeks or neck. Liposuction can be safely performed in an outpatient setting, as long as there is not an excessive amount of fat removed. The procedure is often performed with other procedures, such as an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast reduction and breast augmentation.
