liposuction is a procedure that addresses the parts of the body that do not respond to diet and exercise. It removes fat through a suctioning process and the procedure can be coupled with a tummy tuck to achieve the desired result. Areas that are typically targeted with liposuction are the abdomen, arms, buttocks, calves, ankles, chest, back, hips, thighs, and neck. In certain cases, liposuction is even used for breast reduction.

It’s natural for skin to lose some firmness with aging, but liposuction results are generally long lasting as long as you maintain your weight. If you gain weight after liposuction, your fat distribution may change. For example, you may accumulate fat around your abdomen regardless of what areas were originally treated.
