Revision liposuction – harder than you think!
So you’ve watched a bunch of videos online (like the one below) and you think liposuction is pretty easy. Stick the metal cannula in and pull it out, and voila the fat is gone! But it takes a bit more finesse than that to avoid contour deformities and divots by taking out too much fat. […]

Full body liposuction
Full body liposuction is a great way to remove unwanted pockets of fat from various parts of the body. However, it shouldn’t be misunderstood to be a type of weight loss.
