Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is an excellent method of reducing pockets of stubborn fat from around the waist, buttocks, thighs, and other areas. Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed today. It offers the surgeon a high amount of control in contouring and shaping the body. It is ideal for patients who are close to their ideal weight, but have stubborn or difficult areas of fat deposits. Patients should understand that liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. Drs. Jeffrey and William Umansky, can also combine tummy tuck surgery with liposuction for a more comprehensive body contouring treatment.
