Body contouring is for "contouring" not weight loss.

There are some technologies that require multiple sessions and produce some mild changes, but the changes are NOT permanent.

Losing weight with Liposuction

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is a body contouring procedure to help remove areas of unwanted fat which are resistant to diet and exercise.

Hi, Thank you for your question. First off, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove unwanted fat from a few trouble spots. If you are overweight, you need to diet and have a good exercise program. Now, if you only have or two area that are bothering you, ex. lateral thighs or hips, then liposuction will be appropriate for you. Both ultrasound and laser work well. I have used both.
