Liposuction Before & After
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that surgically removes unwelcome localized fat pockets to restore smooth, shapely physical contours. Since there are limits to how much excess fat Dr. Anderson can safely remove, this procedure is best for people who have already reached a healthy body weight but continue to struggle with stubborn excess fat.
As a versatile plastic surgery procedure, liposuction can stand alone or be combined with other procedures for comprehensive benefits. The most common areas for body contouring with liposuction include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks or love handles
- Outer or inner thighs
- Ankles
- Breasts
- Calves
- Chin (submental)
- Hips
- Outer or inner thighs
- Upper arms
