Liposuction Program: What kind of fat can be sucked out?

What types of fat can be removed by liposuction?

Liposuction procedures can target fat located in the subcutaneous layer, which is soft and easily movable. This is especially true in areas with significant fat accumulation, such as:

• Abdomen: For those with excess abdominal fat, liposuction can create a slimmer and more toned appearance.
• Hips and Thighs: These areas often accumulate fat, leading to an unbalanced figure.
• Arms and Back: Liposuction can reduce arm thickness or create a smoother back.
• Chin: Liposuction in the chin area can reduce submental fat, improving facial contours.

Subcutaneous Fat:

• • This type of fat is found directly beneath the skin. Normal amounts of subcutaneous fat are not harmful, but excessive accumulation can increase the risk of health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and muscle sagging. It can also affect physical appearance. This fat lies between the skin and muscle and can be safely removed via procedures such as abdominal liposuction.

Visceral Fat:

• • This type of fat results from excessive intake of fatty foods, carbohydrates, and sugars. When the body cannot burn these off, they are converted into fat and accumulate around internal organs like the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, and abdominal muscles. Over time, this fat hardens and causes the abdomen to protrude noticeably. Visceral fat is located beneath the muscle, surrounding internal organs, and “cannot be removed by liposuction” due to the risk of damage to those organs.
