Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat from specific areas of the body. It is typically used to target areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Results vary from person to person, but liposuction typically results in a more contoured and sculpted look. It can reduce fat in the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, neck, and other areas. The outcome of liposuction can be permanent, but it is only effective if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. After liposuction, you may experience swelling, bruising, and soreness. Results may take a few weeks to be visible, but most people notice a difference in their appearance within a few months. Liposuction can help you look and feel your best.
