Liposuction is a procedure that was introduced in the U.S. in the early 1980s, and is essentially taking a thin, hollow, needle-like vacuum tube, called a cannula, and carefully making a small incision near the targeted deposit of fat. The cannula is then inserted under the skin (subcutaneously) and used to break apart, then suction out (or aspirate) the fat. This can be done repeatedly on multiple target areas of the body anywhere there may be excess fat, from your buttocks, thighs, tummy to your neck, chin and face.

Once liposculpture has been performed, as long as you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle, your post-operative results will be maintained (even if you mess up once in a while), making liposculpting the #1 most effective method of fat reduction!

The procedure is also called liposculpture, lipoplasty, or suction lipectomy and has become known simply as “lipo”. Over the decades, the understanding of the human body and individual genetics has substantially improved, as have the tools and methods available.

The improvements in the cosmetic surgery industry and liposculpting techniques means that your procedure can often be safely completed in as little as 1-2 hours on an out-patient basis, scarring is virtually invisible due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure and placement of the incisions, and you and your cosmetic surgeon can focus on designing an artistic, unique and aesthetically pleasing result that fits your body’s genetic design.
