Stubborn fat has a habit of settling in places you wish it wouldn’t. Your abdomen may hold onto a small pocket despite regular workouts, or your thighs, arms, or chin may not respond the way you expected. Liposuction can target several of these areas, making it a versatile option for refining body contours.
At ProDerm Skin & Surgery in Austin, TX, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sydney Larkin Proffer, MD, MS, FAAD, brings advanced fellowship training in cosmetic dermatology to your care. Her extensive dermatologic and cosmetic expertise helps guide treatment decisions based on your anatomy and cosmetic goals.
What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
Liposuction is designed to remove localized fat deposits rather than serve as a method for significant weight loss. Common liposuction treatment areas include:
- Abdomen: One of the most popular areas for liposuction, especially for fat around the stomach that remains despite healthy habits.
- Flanks: Liposuction can address fat along the sides of the waist, often called love handles, to create smoother contours.
- Thighs: The inner and outer thighs can be treated to reduce localized fullness and improve their shape.
- Hips: Removing selected pockets of fat around the hips can refine the transition between your waist and lower body.
- Upper arms: Liposuction may reduce excess fatty tissue that creates unwanted fullness in the upper arms.
- Back: Small deposits around the upper or lower back can also respond to liposuction.
- Chin and neck: Carefully placed liposuction can reduce localized fat beneath the chin or around the neck for greater definition.
Can You Treat Multiple Areas at Once?
Several areas may be addressed during the same liposuction procedure, but this depends on the amount of fat being removed, your overall health, and your treatment goals. A consultation helps us determine which areas we can treat safely and effectively.
