Bothersome fatty deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise can be found in the face, neck, abdomen, upper arm, hips, thighs and knees. Liposuction or lipoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.
It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide and while not an effective method of weight loss, it is often used to motivate patients to improve their diet and exercise habits post-operatively.
