IF YOU HAVE CONTROLLED YOUR WEIGHT

AND STILL YOUR BODY LOOKS

 DISPROPORTIONATELY HEAVY IN CERTAIN AREAS

YOU MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR ------

LIPOSUCTION

 Liposuction is a very common and popular elective cosmetic surgery procedure to remove isolated areas of unsightly and  undesirable subcutaneous fat, that do not respond to diet and exercise.

• It is not a treatment of obesity; However, it definitely improves your appearance by reducing your body fat volume and size in selected areas.

• Through tiny incisions a narrow tube  or cannula is inserted and used to vaccum the fat layer that lies beneath the skin. High frequency vibrations of the cannula dissolve the fat and a high performance vaccum pump sucks this fat out.djfa
