Liposuction is a cosmetic medical procedure used to remove localized fat deposits that don’t respond well to diet and exercise. It’s important to know that it’s not a weight-loss method, and it’s generally considered only for adults, after growth is complete, and following consultation with a qualified doctor.
Common Body Areas Treated with Liposuction

Important notes
-
Liposuction targets specific fat pockets, not overall body fat.

Like all surgeries, it carries risks and requires recovery time.
-
For teens, cosmetic procedures are usually not recommended unless there is a clear medical reason and specialist oversight.
