We see many patients who are frustrated with certain areas of their bodies. Even after dieting and exercise, fatty deposits remain in areas that will not go away or reduce in size.

A combination of genetics and hormones create areas where fat cells are developed in greater numbers than the surrounding areas of the body.

Liposuction is effective in treating these areas and reshaping your body permanently. As it involves the actual removal of fat cells, the fat can never return to the way it appears now.

We have treated thousands of patients of all ages who have changed their body shape and lives with this simple and safe technique.

Our Surgeons listen to your requirements and advise you on the options for you to achieve your desired results.
