Liposuction has become a popular cosmetic procedure for its ability to slim away the stubborn fat that can linger in your love handles, chin and along your waist and produce better body contouring.
If you think lipo may be right for you, there are a few things you should consider before making a final decision.

Lipo Isn’t for Weight Loss
Lipo is a body contouring procedure, not a substitute for losing weight through diet and exercise. One of the main reasons is that lipo is designed to target subcutaneous fat that lies closer to the surface of the skin and is resistant to diet and exercise. It isn’t designed to remove the visceral fat that develops around your organs, which is what’s largely responsible for weight gain and does respond well to diet and exercise.
The best candidates for lipo have already reached or are within 30 percent of their target weight and are interested in contouring their shape and removing bulges of subcutaneous fat for a sleeker look.
