What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a modern body contouring procedure performed to reduce localized fat deposits and reshape aesthetic contours. During the procedure, fat cells are surgically removed, and the number of fat cells in the treated area is permanently reduced. For this reason, liposuction offers an effective and reliable solution with results that can be maintained for many years.
The liposuction techniques applied at Estecapelli go beyond slimming the body and help achieve a more proportionate and aesthetic appearance.
Which Areas Can Be Contoured With Liposuction?
Liposuction can be applied to many areas of the body where fat accumulation is intense and resistant. The most commonly treated areas are:
- Abdomen and stomach
- Waist and flanks
- Hips and saddlebags
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back area
- Arms and underarms
- Chest (treatment of gynecomastia in men)
- Double chin and under the jaw
This procedure is not a weight loss method. It is effective in removing localized fat deposits that do not disappear despite weight loss.
