It’s no surprise that liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. However, many people are under the impression that liposuction is only used to treat one specific area of the body. At The Vu Center in Portland, we are proud to offer numerous cosmetic surgery options, including liposuction, and we will work with you to help you achieve the look you desire. If you are interested in exploring your options, then give us a call today! In the meantime, continue reading below to learn more about some of the most common areas in which you can receive liposuction.
Love Handles
The area around your natural waist, otherwise referred to as your “love handles,” is a common place for your body to accumulate excess fat. In many cases, it is difficult for people to decrease the amount of fat in their love handles through exercise and diet. Liposuction can help eliminate excess fat and help you slim the size of your waist. Because the skin around your waist is extremely elastic, your love handles are an ideal area for this type of procedure.
Abdomen
When most people think of liposuction, they often imagine it affecting the abdomen. However, not many know that you can receive liposuction on both the upper and the lower parts of your abdomen. That being said, these two procedures often occur at the same time to give you a uniform appearance. Unlike the skin around your waist, your abdomen is not as elastic, meaning that if too much fat is removed, then it can leave sagging skin in its place. For this reason, many surgeons will couple liposuction in the abdomen with a tummy tuck procedure.
Upper Arms
Excess fat in the upper arms is something that can affect both men and women. While some are able to eliminate upper arm fat with exercise, it is not always easy for others, especially as they age. Liposuction in the upper arm area is a great way to eliminate any excess fat or “jiggle” in your upper arms that you can’t seem to eliminate on your own. This procedure will help contour your arms and give them a more attractive and sculpted appearance.
Face
A slim face is part of an attractive appearance. That being said, it can be difficult to eliminate excess fat in your face, which is why many people elect to receive liposuction. The most common areas of your face to receive liposuction are your neck and your cheeks. Chubby cheeks or a large neck can be a result of many different things, from your natural appearance to age, and liposuction can help you contour your face and enhance your look.
Thighs
Your thighs are another common area where your body can retain unwanted fat and give you an undesirable appearance. When you choose to receive liposuction on your thighs, there are three different sections where you can receive treatment — the inner thigh, the outer thigh, and the anterior thigh. In most cases, these areas are all treated together to help sculpt your legs and even make your buttocks look more defined.
