Sometimes no matter how much you diet and exercise, some areas of your body will just not respond to your efforts. Both men and women can benefit from liposuction to help remove fatty deposits and reshape the body when non-surgical methods are not working.
For men it’s usually the “love handles,” chest area and abdomen. Women generally need treatments on thighs, hips, buttocks, legs and stomach. During the procedure, pockets of fat are suctioned out from the body with a tube and vacuum device.
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits in these areas of the body:
- Thighs
- Hips/Buttocks
- Abdomen/Waist
- Upper Arms
- Back
- Chest
- Cheeks/Chin/Neck
Liposuction can be performed alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures such as a breast reduction or tummy tuck.
It is important to keep in mind that liposuction is not a shortcut to weight loss. During a private consultation, Dr. MacPhee can determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction and will discuss the risks involved.
