Popular areas of the body where liposuction can remove fat
Buttocks
While some fat in the buttocks is often desirable, having excess fat removed can help minimize some unsightly dimpling and help to make your figure look more proportionate.
Love handles
The waist and flanks, often called the “love handles,” are extremely common areas for liposuction. For many patients, getting rid of love handles and achieving the contours they desire via diet and exercise alone can be incredibly difficult. Liposuction here can help patients see great results, especially when they have reasonable-to-excellent skin elasticity.
Upper arms
The batwing” is something that can affect men and women, but it is particularly common in women as they age. Even if you’re not overweight, it is possible to have an unpleasant “arm jiggle” due to lack of muscle tone. Liposuction can help smooth and tighten the area for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Abdomen
Plastic surgeons often divide the abdomen into “upper” and “lower” regions that may be treated separately. The lower region is responsible for the dreaded “muffin top,” which makes it a popular place for liposuction. The upper region is the area between your belly button and ribs, which can also stubbornly hold onto a layer of fat. Liposuction in these regions can help patients achieve a slimmer, sleeker profile.
Hips
For many women, having smooth, shapely hips is important to maintaining a feminine silhouette, so women often undergo liposuction here to remove excess deposits of fat. Doing so helps to create a more well-defined shape and can even help improve the look of the buttocks as well.
Back
The back is probably not the first place you would think of for liposuction, but the procedure can be actually quite effective for reducing back rolls, sometimes called “bra rolls.” Liposuction here can contribute to a firmer, smoother appearance.
Face
Patients who want to reduce excess cheek and neck fat can also opt for liposuction. Additionally, it can be performed alongside other procedures, to help give your face a slimmer, more defined contour.
Thighs
There are three sections of your thighs that can benefit from liposuction, and they’re often all treated together. First, liposuction can be performed on the outer thigh “saddlebags” to enhance the patient’s overall shape. The inner thighs can also be contoured (to help give the patient a thigh “gap” when standing), and the anterior thigh, which is the “banana roll” area, can be shaped to give the buttocks a firmer, more defined appearance.
Chest
Though women can undergo chest/breast liposuction, this is more common for men than women. Men who may suffer from gynecomastia or older men who may have suffered a loss of muscle mass can look to liposuction to remove excess, unwanted fat.
Lower legs
Less common is liposuction in the lower leg area, but lower leg reshaping can help you to maintain a proportionate, slimmer profile.
