At Edina Plastic Surgery we have treated many areas of the body with liposuction including: the neck, arms, back, abdomen, thighs, knees and even ankles. However not every area is appropriate for liposuction. For example, in some large abdomens the fat may be inside the abdominal wall, and those abdomens cannot be helped with liposuction. When patients come in for a free consultation with our surgeons they discuss all the possible options.
The ideal liposuction candidate is a person who is in good overall shape and is close to their weight goal, yet has areas resistant to diet and exercise. Thus, liposuction is a shaping procedure, not a weight loss procedure.
