What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that targets localized fat pockets. It is not a weight-loss procedure, but a reshaping treatment that improves body contour and balance.
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen & waist
- Thighs
- Arms
- Back
- Buttocks
- Neck & chin
Each procedure is customized according to the patient’s body type and aesthetic goals.

You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Have localized fat resistant to diet & exercise
- Are close to your ideal body weight

A detailed consultation is required to determine eligibility.
