Liposuction
Liposuction, often referred to as “lipo” by patients, refines and reshapes targeted areas of the body by removing excess fat and improving the contours and proportions of your body. It is one of the most common plastic surgeries in the world. However, it should be noted that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite.
