Liposuction plastic surgery for body and face fat removal.
Sometimes even a strict diet or a disciplined exercise program canšt conquer stubborn areas of excess fat. For those who seek a smoother or better-proportioned body contour, liposuction may be the answer. Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess deposits of fat from specific areas of the body, face, or neck. Liposuction is most commonly recommended for men and women of normal weight who simply want to improve their body contour. It is not a treatment for obesity.

- Cheeks, chin and neck

- Breast or chest area
- Back

- Calves and ankles
