About Our Liposuction and Liposculpting Procedures
Liposuction, which is often used along with other plastic/cosmetic surgery procedures, removes pockets of fat from troublesome areas such as the thighs, hips, stomach, love handles and upper arms. A tool called a cannula is used to remove fat cells in varying amounts. Liposuction was first performed in 1974 and its use marked a significant improvement over previously used surgical body contouring techniques. There have been many advances in liposuction procedures over the last few decades, making it one of the safest and most popular body contouring surgeries in the world.
