What is Body Contouring?
Liposuction (also known as lipoplasty or lipo) is a surgical procedure that removes fat from targeted areas of the body using suction. It is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring method to address stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.

Types of Body Contouring(liposuction) Techniques
Tumescent Liposuction:
Most common method. A saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the fat, making it easier to remove.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL):
Uses ultrasonic waves to liquefy fat before removal. Ideal for dense or fibrous areas.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction (SmartLipo):
A laser heats and melts fat, making it easier to suction out.
VASER Liposuction:
Uses ultrasound technology to target fat while sparing surrounding tissues, enhancing skin tightening.
