Liposuction can contour specific areas by removing localized pockets of fat that may not respond to diet and exercise, but it isn’t a weight-loss procedure.
It also doesn’t significantly tighten loose skin, eliminate cellulite or replace healthy habits. The best candidates are generally near a stable weight, have good skin elasticity and want to improve the shape of a particular area.
Understanding what liposuction can-and can’t-achieve is the first step toward realistic expectations and satisfying results.
