Liposuction in Virginia Beach

... resculpting the contours of your body

Liposuction (also sometimes referred to as lipoplasty or liposculpture) became popular in the 1980's. Fat was removed from areas of the body through a tube ("cannula") attached to a high pressure vacuum,. Bulging areas were sculpted into more attractive contours.

Who is the best candidate for liposuction...

The best candidate for liposuction is a person who is in good health and at a good weight who has firm elastic skin, and distinct areas of localized fat (bulges) that are disproportionate to the rest of the body. Liposuction is not intended as a substitute for weight loss, rather it is a way to contour areas of the body where fat tends to deposit.

Detailed information about all procedures can be obtained from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
