Can Liposuction Help me Lose Weight?

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn deposits of fat from nearly any area of the body. However, while liposuction targets and eliminates fat deposits, it is not a safe or effective way to lose weight.

Board-certified Chandler liposuction plastic surgeon Dr. John Corey suggests patients be close to their ideal BMI prior to undergoing this procedure. To learn more or to schedule a body contouring consultation, please call 480-767-7700 today.

Liposuction is an excellent option to remove stubborn pockets of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. The abdominal region, including love handles, is a common treatment site for liposuction since fatty deposits around the stomach are often difficult to get rid of even with a diligent diet and exercise regimen.

However, it is important to remember that liposuction is not a weight loss method; it is intended to tone and sculpt your body by targeting small pockets of fat for removal.
