Liposuction FAQs
-
Liposuction works by making small incisions through which a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out unwanted fat from targeted areas. The fat is gently removed using a vacuum-like device, allowing your consultant plastic surgeon to reshape the treated zone. It’s a surgical procedure that can significantly improve contour but is not a replacement for diet and exercise.
