Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that will remove fat from stubborn areas that you are trying to lose weight from, to give you a fresh, trim body. Targeting fat that you haven’t been able to shift through other means, liposuction is performed in areas such as belly, thighs, hips, buttocks, back, arms or under the chin by a plastic or dermatologic surgeon. Taking as little as 2 hours, one or more areas can be targeted per procedure. Whilst it isn’t defined as a permanent cosmetic surgery, by reducing the number of fat cells in the area it makes it more difficult for the body to regenerate fat where the procedure was undertaken.
