*   Liposuction

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise, helping to contour specific areas of the body for a more balanced and overall slimmer, more defined silhouette. Commonly treated areas include the hips, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and neck, though the procedure can be performed almost anywhere.
