Lower-Body Liposuction
Lower Body Liposuction Although numerous body types exist, many women are genetically predisposed to accumulate fat in the hips and thighs.
When this is the case, clothing can be difficult to fit and an individual with a relative normal body fat percentage can appear to be significantly overweight.
In the extreme, this tendency may result in a body proportion that appears off balance.
Further, fatty deposits in these areas are notoriously unresponsive to diet and exercise.
Liposuction can successfully address these concerns and also improve the fit of clothing.
In individuals with fat deposits in the knees, lower legs and ankles, liposuction can result in shapelier legs.
