The best candidates for liposuction in LA are those whose weight is stable and have unwanted pockets of fat not responsive to diet and exercise.
Pockets of stubborn fat are commonly found on the chin and neck, abdomen, hips and flanks, waist, back, arms, thighs and knees. These collections are often genetic in nature and remain to some degree even with low body fat.
Before liposuction, the area to be removed is outlined, and then removed. Liposuction is not able to remove fat from everywhere on the body, so it is not a technique for weight loss. It is a technique for body contouring.
