    Liposuction

    Liposuction

    Buttocks, thighs and abdomen can be stubborn areas to lose excess fat or skin. Liposuction and body contouring can help slim and reshape those stubborn areas. During tumescent liposuction — the most common type of liposuction — the surgeon uses a thin tube (cannula) attached to a vacuum to remove fat from under the skin. In some cases, the surgeon may insert the cannula through several points to treat an area from different angles.
