Liposuction is a valuable tool to remove stubborn pockets of fat which have been resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not meant to be a treatment for obesity or a weight loss solution, thought it does remove fat, the main objective for Liposuction is to remove select, localized pockets of fat. Liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body from the legs, thighs, hips, buttock and abdomen to the breasts, arms, neck and face.
A couple of small incisions will be made in the selected area and a long, skinny tube called a cannula will be placed in the incisions and navigate its way into the layer of fat. Next, it will literally suck the fat out, like a vacuum, until the desired results are achieved. There is a limit to how much fat can be removed and this varies from patient to patient. To get a better idea of the kind of results which may be realistic for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Canoun today.
