Areas that can be treated by Liposuction

Abdomen
The abdomen is the most common area of the body to be treated by liposuction among both men and women. Important factors that affect the success of liposuction include the amount and location of abdominal fat, history of weight gain and loss, history of pregnancy, and the age and the sex of the patient.

Buttocks
The shape of the buttocks is formed by subcutaneous fat. The goal of tumescent liposuction of the buttocks is to achieve uniformly smooth results with a pleasing reduction in size and bulk.

Thighs and Hips
Fat on female thighs and hips is largely determined by inherited genetics, and it is often resistant to exercise and dieting. Liposuction is most often done for the outer side of the thighs, but is also done for the front and the inner thigh, and can significantly improve the silhouette of the thigh and reduce the rubbing together of the inner thighs. Liposuction of the outer thighs and hips can reduce "Saddle Bags".

Legs and Ankles
The distribution and proportion of localized fat on female legs and ankles is also genetically predetermined. Women who have a disproportionate distribution of fat on their legs often find that this fat is resistant to diet and exercise. Fat can be removed from areas behind the knees and the calves.

Arms
The arms are one of the areas that consistently yield the highest level of patient satisfaction and happiness. For appropriate patients, the results are gratifying. Liposuction of the arms may need to be done in conjunction with an arm lift. Successful operations usually mean that the patient can start wearing sleeveless clothing, bathing suits, and dresses without the embarrassment of ugly arms.

Axillary Fat Pads
These are fatty areas located in front of and just behind the arm-pit on the side of the back. In some people, these fat pads can be a cosmetic problem.

Back
Liposuction of the following areas of the female back can produce dramatic improvements.
Posterior waist fat that is located above and behind the hips.
Lumbo-sacral fat pad in the midline of the lower back, just above the tailbone. "Buffalo hump" which consists of fat located on the upper back near the neck.

Flanks
The male flanks, also known as love-handles, are located just above the crest of the hip bone. In females the identical anatomic area is called the waist. The male flanks are a localized accumulation of fat that bulges over the belt-line. The location of the "belt line" is one of the most characteristic features that distinguish the silhouettes of the male and female torsos.

Breasts
In Females : Tumescent liposuction of the female breast produces both a significant breast reduction and a moderate breast lift with minimal postoperative pain, rapid postoperative recovery, quick return to normal activities, and virtually no scarring. This breast lift is the result of the reduced weight of the breast, which allows the breasts' natural elastic properties to contract and produce elevation. The breasts do not change shape after tumescent liposuction, they simply become smaller and somewhat elevated. After liposuction, the breast's shape is simply a smaller version of the shape before liposuction.

In Males : The goal for liposuction of the male breast is to improve the patient's physical appearance by removing as much fat as possible while avoiding any damage to skin or muscles. Male patients with excessive fat in their breasts can expect significant improvement with tumescent liposuction.

Face and Neck
Tumescent liposuction is the safest and usually the most effective technique for removing fat from the chin, cheeks and jowls. Correction of a 'double chin' may be dramatic after liposuction, which involves fewer complications, fewer scars, and typically gives a more natural appearance than a facelift. Not all patients are good candidates for liposuction of the face and neck.
