Liposuction

In general, liposuction is reserved for localized areas of fat deposit that are resistant to exercise and diet. Common areas involved include: neck, arms, upper, lower or central mid-back flanks, inner knees. All areas require a compression garment post surgery to minimize swelling and to prevent fluid accumulation (seroma) at the surgical area involved. Surgery is performed either under local or general anesthesia.

Localized accumulation of fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Usual areas include the upper, lower, central abdomen, flanks, mid back, inner knees, neck.
