What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck. It's an effective method for contouring and refining your silhouette, particularly targeting stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
