What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Its main objective is to redefine the body contour, not as a weight loss method, but as a body sculpting technique.
A popular variant is the liposculpturewhich goes a step further by highlighting the underlying muscles, creating a more defined and athletic appearance.

The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia, either local or general, depending on the case. During the surgery, small incisions are made to insert a cannula, which extracts the fat by suction. The duration varies between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
