Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed.

Liposuction can be performed alone but can also be combined with other procedures such as the tummy tuck.

However, liposuction may not be the best treatment for everyone. The procedure cannot help in cases of cellulite or obesity, and it is not an alternative to exercise and diet.  If you’re unsure if liposuction is the right approach for you, your dedicated MyBreast surgeon will help you determine if you’re a good candidate for the surgery and discuss the best approach for your personal circumstances and the results you’re looking for.

In general, fat is removed with a cannula (a hollow tube), which is passed into the fatty tissue through a small incision in the skin. The cannula is then passed back and forward, removing fat with a suction machine.
