Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your contours and proportion. It can address fat in the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, upper arms, back, inner knees, chest, chin and neck. Sometimes called “liposculpture,” it can be performed alone or alongside a procedure that also tightens the overlying skin.
Results are best when you are near your ideal weight but have specific pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction can improve the look of cellulite in some cases, but there is no guarantee it will smooth or remove the dimpled appearance of the skin.
Liposuction, performed by Dr. Carlin. Permanently removes diet- and exercise-resistant fat.

No. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method. Results are best when you're near your ideal weight but have specific pockets of fat that won't respond to diet and exercise.
