What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is performed to remove stubborn pockets of fat that typically do not respond to dieting or exercise. The procedure is effective in trimming fatty bulges all over the physique for a slimmer, more youthful presentation. Liposuction in Nashville can be performed on its own, or it can be combined with another cosmetic solution, such as a tummy tuck, mommy makeover, or thigh lift.
During surgery, a slender tube called a cannula is threaded through a small incision in the treatment zone. The fat cells are then gently suctioned out and either discarded or preserved for a future fat grafting procedure.
