Liposuction

Liposuction isn't a way of losing weight. It's a way of resculpting your body by removing fat from different areas of your body. Most people who opt for this surgery aren't always overweight but may have excess fat deposits around their hips, tummy, outer and inner thighs, inner knees and buttocks. Liposuction targets these fat deposits for a smoother, more evenly contoured body.

Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as liposculpture or suction assisted lipectomy, is a technique to remove unwanted fat deposits. The unsightlydistribution of body fat is usually due to an inborn tendency to deposit fat in one particular area of the body, most commonly the hips. Other areas include; the neck, arms, tummy, loins, thighs, inner side of the knees and the ankles. The growth of a benign fat tumour (lipoma) can also be a disfigurement, and in men fatty swellings can develop under the nipples to look like breasts (gynaecomastia).
