Liposuction can be used to remove excess fat in virtually any area of the body, including:
Liposuction removes fat, but it is not a weight loss technique. It is most effective for removing stubborn body fat to help define contours of the underlying muscular structure.

While some plastic surgeons will swear by a certain tool or procedure, at Marietta Plastic Surgery we believe that the most important choice you can make regarding any body contouring or plastic surgery procedure is which plastic surgeon to work with. While expensive machines may increase the cost of your procedure, they will not ensure that you have the highest quality treatment available or a plastic surgeon with an artistic eye. If you are not sure what to look for, please visit our page on how to choose a cosmetic surgeon.
Please contact our Marietta plastic surgeons today to learn more about your body contouring options or to schedule an appointment if you are in Atlanta, Marietta, Woodstock, other areas of Georgia, or anywhere in the southeastern United States.
