What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific body areas–such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or neck–using suction techniques to improve contour and proportion. Options include tumescent or ultrasound-assisted methods, tailored precisely to your needs. “It’s about refining your natural lines,” Dr. Durand notes. At our Miami facility, the procedure is customized to your anatomy, offering balanced outcomes with comfort and precision.
