Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that eliminates excessive fat using a powerful suction device. During this procedure a hollow rod will be inserted into the target area to break the fat deposits and eliminate it through a vacuum pump. The main function of this treatment is to enhance the body contour.
At TOP Plastic Surgery Centre our board-certified plastic surgeons offer liposuction as a means for fat reduction and to help patients achieve their body goals. Our surgeons understand that a sensible diet and vigorous exercise don’t always shift stubborn areas of fat. They can perform liposuction alone, or in combination with other surgical procedures to achieve very nice results.
By removing fat and reducing the overall number of fat cells, liposuction contours the body to meet the desired look of the patient. More definition of the muscle and tighter body curves can be seen following treatment. Fat reduction with liposuction is permanent. Patients see long lasting results that enhance their body and improve their confidence.
