Many individuals have had the experience of working hard to lose weight and getting rid of a lot of extra pounds on their body. However, when they look in the mirror, they still do not feel satisfied with what they see. They feel proud of the fact that they lost weight and they like the fact that their body is much slimmer overall. However, they still have stubborn pockets of fat on their body that do not respond to their exercise program or the strict diet that they have followed. It is usually at this point when a person starts looking at different body contouring options.
One of the first things that comes to mind when a person wants to get rid of fat on certain areas of their body is liposuction. This treatment has been around for many years and has proven to be effective at getting rid of fat on the thighs, buttocks, abdominal area, arms and other areas. Liposuction is the most direct way to treat stubborn pockets of fat, and it can be done on its own or alongside other body contouring procedures. Whether you’re a good candidate depends on your skin quality, your health, and where the fat is stored.
If you still have weight to lose, we also offer GLP-1 medications for weight reduction. Many patients prefer to reach a stable weight first, then address the pockets that remain with liposuction. If weight loss has left loose skin, a thigh lift, arm lift, tummy tuck, or body lift can tighten and contour the area as well.
