What is Liposuction?
Obesity is caused by an increased size of fatty tissues. Dieting or exercising reduces the size of fatty tissue, while liposuction removes fatty tissues from surplus fat deposits so as to correct these uncontrollable areas. Thus, liposuction is rather effective in making beautiful body lines, style de la heute couture? Physically reducing the number of fatty tissues could only be achieved by liposuction.
A patient should consult with a specialist for the selection of the most appropriate surgical method, as there are many surgical approaches available depending on a patient’s age, sex, elasticity of the skin, density or distribution of the fatty tissues.
