Face liposuction can target multiple areas of the face to get your desired results in just one procedure, such as chin, cheeks, jowls and neck.

Arm Liposuction

Arm liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess fat deposits in the upper arms. It is performed using a small cannula (a thin tube) which is inserted through tiny incisions in the targeted areas. The cannula is used to gently suction out the excess fat, contouring and slimming the arms.
