Liposuction
The Procedure
Liposuction
Based on what was previously discussed with your surgeon during the pre-op, guidelines will be drawn on desired areas for corrections. Your surgeon will inserts a thin tube called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum. This is used for the extrication of excess fat from certain areas of your body like the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, upper arms, back, inner knee, chest area, cheeks, chin and neck, calves and ankles. Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures.
