Liposuction
(Body Fat Reduction)

Women have liposuction performed under the chin, on their hips, thighs, and stomach, and in the arm and calf area.

For men, common sites include under the chin and around the waist. Liposuction may also be uused in the reduction of enlarged male breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia.

Dr. Martin inserts a cannula through small incisions in the skin. At the other end of the tube is a vacuum-pressure unit that suctions off the fat.

As healing progresses, a more proportional look will emerge

The best candidates for liposuction are of normal weight with localized areas of excess fat - for example, in the buttocks, hips and thighs.
