Let’s start this week’s article with a quiz:
Which area of the body is most commonly treated with liposuction?
A) Thighs
B) Abdomen
C) Arms
D) Neck
And the correct answer is:
B) Abdomen (Most frequently treated area for liposuction.)
Liposuction remains one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States—second only to breast augmentation. At Orange County Plastic Surgery, we perform liposuction on a regular basis for both women and men seeking a more sculpted, contoured appearance in areas that have not responded to diet and exercise.
So, what exactly is liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method. It involves the surgical removal of excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. During the procedure, we make small incisions near the treatment area and insert a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. This cannula is attached to a suction device that gently removes unwanted fat, helping to refine the body’s silhouette and restore a smoother contour.
