Aspiration Is Only One Step

Removing the greatest amount of fat does not automatically create the best contour. Smooth transitions and balanced proportions matter.

Realistic Purpose

Liposuction treats selected fat deposits. It is not a weight-loss procedure and cannot guarantee perfectly smooth or symmetrical skin.
