What liposuction can do for you

Targeted weight loss: While diet and exercise may help you lose weight in general there are times when you lose weight in every area of the body except where you really want to. Liposuction helps to contour your body the way you prefer it to be. You can remove fat from one area and with some techniques (such as laser –assisted Lipo) the fat removed can even be cleaned and re-inserted into the body in the desired areas (Fat Transfer). Fat-cells removed: Losing weight the traditional way simply shrinks existing fat cells. Since they are still there, they can easily be enlarged again. Liposuction removes the fat cells completely making it increasingly difficult for fat to be re-gained in the areas treated.

Increased health: As excess weight can cause a multitude of health risks, liposuction reduces these risks.
