The most common areas addressed with liposuction are the hips, waist and thighs. Fat in the hips, waist, and thighs can be one of the most difficult problems to solve, since these areas often do not respond well to diet and exercise. Fortunately, liposuction procedures are available to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. A small incision is made in the skin just large enough to accommodate a small hollow tube called a cannula.

The cannula suctions the fat from selected areas of the body to create the desired contour. While some patients undergo major liposuction to remove 10-25 lbs. of excess fat, most patients prefer to remove small amounts of fat from specific areas. Moderate volume liposuction is liposuction with less than 5 liters or 10 pounds of fat.
