What Types Of Body Fat Can Liposuction Remove?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It can effectively remove subcutaneous fat, which is the fat located just beneath the skin. This type of fat is typically resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not intended for removing visceral fat, which is the fat that surrounds internal organs and is associated with health risks. It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure. The specific areas where liposuction can be performed include the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck, and chin, among others. The suitability of liposuction for an individual will depend on factors such as their overall health, skin elasticity, and desired outcome, which is discussed by Dr.Karthik Ram - Chief Plastic Surgeon.
