Liposuction

What it is

Liposuction removes fat from chosen areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs, through small incisions using a thin tube.

A published price may be for one area or for several, so check what it covers.

Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.
