"Why limit oneself to sucking up fat when it is possible to sculpt and rebuild a body section, as when working with marbles".
(Dr Marco Gasparoti, Italian plastic surgeon)
Liposuction has come a long way in the past decade – offering much more than simply removing excess fat. More advanced procedures allow a good surgeon to mould the skin and underlying tissue to re-sculpt body parts and create more harmonious curves to the overall body shape.
With a properly performed liposuction, the risks are minimal and the result can be maintained if the patient keeps to a balanced lifestyle and diet. Most liposuction procedures can be performed as day surgery - either under general anaesthesia or other forms of sedation.
