The purpose of a Liposuction procedure is to remove localized deposits of subcutaneous fat (under the skin) from practically anywhere in the body. You may be an ideal candidate for Liposuction if you have excess subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise, and/or you wish to change the contours of your body. Commonly involved areas in this procedure are the anterior part of the neck (under the chin), upper arms and armpits, male chest/breasts, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, inner knees, calves, and ankles. Improved techniques and advances in modern medicine now allow for larger amounts of fat removal.
