Liposuction

Most accurately described as a body-contouring procedure, liposuction removes excess skin and fat from the hips, thighs and abdomen. Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight, and want to eliminate stubborn trouble areas.

DR. FRANK LISTA: Well Liposuction is perfect for patients who are not over weight. It is not a weight reduction tool. It is perfect for patients who are at or near close to their ideal body weight and have persistent troublesome areas. A patient who is fit and generally near the weight they want to be at but they just have excess fat in their love handles or on their tummy or on their inside or outside thighs or hips. Those patients are perfect liposuction candidates and it removes the fat without damaging or injuring the skin and the skin shrinks to the new shape and there you have your new shape. It is really a body shaping operation.
