Is liposuction a quick and easy way to lose weight?
I always explain to my patients that, even though liposuction may remove several pounds of fat, it is primarily designed for contouring specific areas of the body and is not a method for achieving overall weight loss. For patients who have localized fat deposits in one or multiple areas – most often the hips, thighs, buttocks or abdomen — liposuction is a safe and effective way to get rid of the lumps and bulges that bother them. I perform liposuction in my fully accredited surgical facility to help ensure complete patient comfort and safety.
