Liposuction is a safe and effective treatment that helps reshape your figure by removing excess fat from specific areas. It is not just about getting thinner but about improving your body’s proportions.
In some cases, the fat removed can even be transferred to other areas like the buttocks, breasts, face, or hips to enhance volume.
This minimally invasive treatment is popular among both men and women who want long-term body contouring results.
