What Are The Common Liposuction Areas?

common liposuction areas

Eating a healthy diet and undertaking regular exercise are excellent ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle and promote weight loss. Some people may find they have stubborn areas of fat that will not shift, even with regular exercise and healthy eating. Liposuction is an excellent body-contouring procedure that can help both women and men sculpt their bodies to achieve the look they desire. As with any body-contouring procedure, liposuction is not considered a weight-loss treatment; patients should be at their ideal body weight before undergoing treatment.

At Centre for Surgery, our expert liposuction surgeons offer a full range of treatment options for patients unhappy with their body shape. Liposuction is designed to remove excess body fat from targeted areas in a minimally invasive manner. Liposuction recovery is straightforward, with minimal bruising and swelling, and patients can expect to see the final results after 3 months. Our post-operative nursing team will review you regularly to ensure you are healing well after liposuction. Your surgeon will review you after six weeks, where practical advice will be given on maintaining your liposuction results.

Liposuction treatment is designed to remove areas of fat that cannot be removed with diet and exercise alone. Below are the most common liposuction areas patients request be treated during a liposuction consultation at Centre for Surgery.

Stomach liposuction

Tummy lipo is one of the most commonly requested areas for treatment among both women and men. As we naturally age, our metabolism slows, often leading to excessive fat accumulation in the stomach. Eating a good diet and exercising regularly may not be enough to shift tummy fat alone. Patients with minimal skin laxity and good skin quality may be good candidates for abdominal Lipo alone. Some patients may have excess skin that appears loose and wrinkly, as is common after pregnancy and childbirth. In these cases, liposuction may be combined with a tummy tuck to get the best results. A Brazilian tummy tuck combines liposuction with a tummy tuck surgery to sculpt, define and contour the abdomen.

Arm liposuction

Many people are concerned about the overly bulky appearance of their upper arms, which prevents them from wearing clothing that reveals their arms. Many women may avoid specific arm exercises to avoid their arms becoming too muscular. Arm liposuction is a highly effective treatment that creates a thinner, slimmer arm, helping people restore their self-confidence and have more choices when it comes to wearing revealing clothing. High-definition liposuction is an excellent treatment option for patients seeking a more muscular, defined appearance in the arms.

Inner thigh liposuction

Inner thigh fat or excessive thigh fullness can create an aesthetically unappealing appearance. In some cases, patients may experience discomfort from excessive rubbing of the inner thighs while walking. Liposuction of the inner thighs reduces excess fat and can effectively relieve symptoms caused by the inner thighs rubbing together. Some patients may be suitable for 360 liposuction of the thighs, which addresses multiple areas, including the inner and outer thighs, the knees, and the backs of the thighs, for comprehensive sculpting and reshaping. For patients with excessive loose skin affecting the inner thigh, inner thigh lipo may need to be combined with a thigh lift for the best results.

Liposuction for love handles

Love handles refer to the region on the sides of the abdomen, between the hip bones and the lower ribs. Many patients develop excessive fat in this area, which can look very unsightly. Certain types of clothing may be avoided due to having prominent love handles. Liposuction is the best treatment for eliminating stubborn fat and removing love handles completely. Ideal results are achieved when patients are at or near their ideal body weight and are looking to target excess fat in their love handles.
