Curve Crafting

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Using a thin tube called a cannula, fat cells are suctioned out to contour and reshape the targeted areas. Dr. Santosa employs advanced Liposuction techniques to ensure precise and natural-looking results for her patients.

Liposuction Benefits

Liposuction can help improve body contour by reducing stubborn fat pockets, which can result in a more proportional body shape. Achieving a slimmer, more defined physique can also increase self-esteem and body confidence. In addition, this procedure allows for precise targeting of areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. Here are the benefits of Liposuction by body area:

Abdomen: Achieve a flatter, more defined midsection.
Thighs: Slim down and sculpt the thighs for a sleeker silhouette.
Arms: Eliminate excess fat for toned and shapely arms.
Flanks (Love Handles): Reduce bulges and love handles for a smoother waistline.

Contours & Confidence

Liposuction Candidates

Liposuction is suitable for people who have tried diet and exercise but still have areas of fat that don't seem to go away.

However, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. To be eligible, you should be in good health and at a stable weight. It's also important to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

It's essential to keep in mind that people with certain health conditions or unrealistic expectations may not be suitable candidates. Dr. Santosa conducts thorough consultations to determine each patient's eligibility and develop a personalized treatment plan.
