Liposuction
When patients realize that diet and exercise are not enough to target or sculpt certain areas, many opt for liposuction. Liposuction removes fat and excess skin from specified areas of the body.
Here at KPS, we offer two forms of this popular procedure for our patients. Smart lipo involves placing a laser into the fat layer. The laser will work to destroy fat, tighten skin and reduce bruising.
Smart lipo has been proven to include a reduced recovery time for patients. Traditional liposuction involves removal of the fat through a small incision without the aid of a laser. Both of these methods effectively provide a more sculpted appearance.
