Many people have problems with unwanted fat deposits that remain despite exercise and diet.
Body contouring is not a treatment for obesity, but rather for contouring areas of the body by suctioning the fat deposits. The ideal patient is in reasonably good physical condition, having only localized areas of unwanted fat. The most common areas treated are the abdomen, thighs, hips and knees. Tumescent liposuction is a unique method of first flooding the fatty tissues with a large volume of diluted anesthetic solution and then suctioning the softened liquefied fatty tissue. This new technique allows for less bleeding, bruising and postoperative pain.
