Liposuction is legendary for removing excess fat deposits and sculpting the body into a more aesthetically pleasing shape. At Athēnix, we are experts in cutting-edge liposuction techniques that guarantee precise, quick recovery and amazing, natural-looking results. Our in-depth guide will walk you through all the different body areas that can benefit from liposuction so you can see how this procedure can transform your physique.
Liposuction Basics
Before we get into the details, let's talk about what liposuction really is:
- Liposuction is a way to get rid of those stubborn fat pockets that just won't budge, no matter how much you diet and exercise
- It's not a quick fix for losing weight, but it can help shape and refine specific areas of your body
- By focusing on those tough spots, liposuction can enhance your body's natural curves and improve your overall proportions
Where to Get Liposuction
Our Athēnix specialists have performed countless liposuction procedures. Here are the top ten body areas for liposuction according to our professionals:
1. Abdomen
Lots of people have trouble with extra fat in their belly, whether it's from:
- Genetics
- Pregnancy
- Weight changes
- Aging
Abdominal liposuction targets both the upper and lower abdomen to give you a flatter, more toned look. Liposuction can also help get rid of love handles and give you a smoother, more defined waistline.
2. Flanks (Love Handles)
Many people want to eliminate those pesky "love handles" on their sides; liposuction can help! It targets the fat that bulges out on the sides of your waist, giving you a smoother, more streamlined look. After liposuction, you can expect a more defined waistline and better overall body balance.
3. Thighs
Inner thigh liposuction is perfect for removing stubborn thigh fat to reduce inner thigh chafing. And those pesky saddlebags? Outer thigh liposuction will smooth and sculpt your thighs, giving you legs that are more toned and proportionate.
4. Hips
The hips are another area where fat accumulates, especially in women. Liposuction can help refine and sculpt those hips, giving you more balanced and shapely curves. And for a complete midsection transformation, many people combine hip liposuction with abdominal liposuction.
5. Buttocks
You can also have liposuction on your buttocks to get rid of extra fat and give them a more lifted and contoured look. If you want to enhance your buttocks without making them bigger, liposuction is a great way to sculpt and shape them while enhancing their natural appearance.
6. Arms
Getting rid of excess fat in the upper arms can be tricky, even with diet and exercise. Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms, removing the "bat wings" and giving you slimmer, more toned arms that look fantastic in sleeveless tops.
7. Back
Back fat, also known as bra bulge, can be a real nuisance for many people. Liposuction removes fat in the upper and lower back, smoothing out those bulges and giving you a more contoured look. This treatment can help you achieve a smoother silhouette, especially when you're wearing fitted clothes.
8. Chest
Guys, liposuction can help reduce excess fat in the chest area, also known as gynecomastia, giving you a more defined and masculine chest. And ladies, you can also benefit from chest liposuction to reduce excess fat and improve your overall body proportions.
9. Neck and Chin
Excess fat in the neck and under the chin can give you a double chin. Liposuction removes those fat deposits and gives you a more defined jawline and neck contour. This procedure can really enhance your facial appearance, making your face look slimmer and more youthful.
10. Calves and Ankles
Dealing with excess fat in the calves and ankles, also known as cankles, can be tough to tackle with just exercise. Liposuction contours these areas, giving you slimmer and more defined lower legs. This treatment can improve the overall look of your legs and boost your confidence when wearing skirts, dresses, or shorts.
Combination Procedures
Liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve more complete results. Some popular combination treatments at Athēnix include:
Liposuction with Tummy Tuck
Pairing liposuction with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can create a more dramatic transformation. While liposuction removes excess fat, a tummy tuck addresses loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles for a flatter, more toned midsection.
Liposuction with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian Butt Lift involves taking fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and transferring it to the buttocks to enhance volume and shape. Liposuction collects the fat, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks for a natural and sculpted appearance.
Liposuction with Breast Augmentation
You can combine liposuction with breast augmentation to enhance your overall body proportions. Fat can be taken from areas like the abdomen or thighs and used for fat grafting to the breasts, giving you a natural-looking augmentation without implants.
