Liposuction is an option that removes small bulges that just won’t go away and to improve your body's shape. The areas most commonly treated include the hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks, and face. Liposuction does not remove cellulite, only fat. Unlike other forms of therapy, liposuction actually removes the fat cells themselves. Mesotherapy and other injectable fat treatments involve injecting lipid-dissolving chemicals into fat deposit sites and allowing the body to process the fat and remove it.
