7 Top Body Areas for Liposuction

Liposuction is one of several cosmetic surgery procedures that are widely known in popular culture. There are a lot of myths about liposuction, and while the procedure can be used in almost any area of the body where excess fat exists, our body contouring patients in Beverly Hills typically choose the procedure for these body areas:

1. Abdomen:
Both men and women tend to store fat in the abdominal area, and in many cases these fat stores linger even with a healthful diet and regular exercises. Liposuction can be used on its own or in conjunction with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to slim down this area and reveal a flat, toned appearance.
2. Hips:
We've all heard of "love handles," those stubborn pockets of fat just above the waistline. And we've all heard that it's nearly impossible to get rid of them. But liposuction does make it possible, and is often the only way to reduce fat cells in this area permanently.

3. Thighs:
Unwanted fat may exist on both the outside (lateral area) and inside (medial area) of the thighs. Fat on the inner thighs can cause uncomfortable chafing and rubbing, and fat on the outside of the thighs can lead to an unflattering body shape and difficulty fitting into pants, shorts, skirts and dresses. Liposuction can provide a slim new look.

4. Neck/Chin:
One of the most popular areas for liposuction at my Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery practice, the area under the chin often has loose skin and excess fat. Liposuction may be performed on its own or in conjunction with a neck lift for a tightened contour and better definition.

5. Upper Arms:
Patients who have unwanted fat in their upper arms are often amazed by how liposuction is able to slim their arms and in turn improve the appearance of their entire upper body. Many surgeons use liposuction in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess skin and fat all at once.

6. Buttocks:
Along with the hips and thighs, the buttocks may have excess fat that can be removed using liposuction.

7. Breasts:
Liposuction is often used as part of a breast reductionprocedure to remove excess fat so that the breasts can be firmed, tightened and lifted. The procedure also can be used for male breast reduction.
