Differences Between Liposuction and Body Contouring

If you are considering reducing fat accumulation in specific areas of your body, understanding the difference between liposuction and body contouring is the basis for the right decision.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is the surgical removal of fat cells from specific areas of the body permanently. Special cannulas absorb fat tissue under general or local anesthesia.

Liposuction is not a weight loss method. It targets localized fat deposits that cannot be lost with diet and exercise, especially in the abdomen, hips, thighs, and chin.
