In which areas of the body can liposuction be performed?
Liposuction is the most popular and effective treatment in reducing localized fat that remains after dieting or exercise.
It is a surgical procedure that aims to remove fat from specific areas of the body and is often used to contour and enhance features, providing a more harmonious body contour.
The areas of the body where liposuction can be performed are the abdomen, waist, thighs and buttocks. Similarly, liposuction can be performed on the arms, the inner and outer areas of the hammocks (ankles) and the calves. It is also common to remove excess fat from the chin and neck to create a clean facial contour and highlight the neck.
In general, liposuction under local anaesthesia is considered less painful compared to other surgical procedures and can be combined with fat transfer to other parts of the body, stem cell production for regenerative purposes or with tightening treatments (F.A.S.T. or ARGON PLASMA). Patients should always discuss with his/her plastic surgeon about their expectations, available options and management of the post-operative period.
In conclusion, liposuction offers a definitive solution for reducing localized fat in many areas of the body. It is important, however, to discuss with an experienced plastic surgeon to understand your options and expectations from this procedure.
