One of the most common areas of the body that patients request to have treated with lipo is the abdomen. Both the upper and lower portions of the abdomen can Liposuction treatment can be done on both the upper and lower portions of the stomach. For many people, the abdominal region is one of the most difficult areas of the body to flatten and tone, even with proper diet and exercise. This is commonly due to age, pregnancy, and gaining and losing weight.

The abdominal region is also a common site for the body to store excess fat. Lipo of the stomach region can help eliminate a pot belly, muffin top, and love handles.

Another common area of the body that stores fat is the anterior thighs (front of thighs).

For patients unable to contour and reduce the fat in this area of their body, liposuction treatment can be a great alternative or addition to regular diet and exercise. Women tend to seek treatment for this area of the body more often than men.

Many women seek liposuction treatment for the outer thighs. It is very common for women to store fat in this region. The appearance of the extra fat of the outer thighs is often referred to as saddlebags. Many women do not like the way this looks. Undergoing lipo for these areas can help women achieve a thinner appearance of the thighs that is in more proportion to the rest of their bodies.

The inner thighs can also be a troublesome area for women. In fact, many women who undergo liposuction other portions of the hips and thighs often have their inner thighs treated as well. One of the best things about the inner thighs is that they tend to heal a lot faster than other areas of the body after liposuction treatment.

Buttocks

Another common area of liposuction treatment is the area of fat directly below the crease of the buttocks where the thigh begins. This is a common procedure among both men and women.

Those people who have what many people refer to as "cankles" can also undergo liposuction treatment to achieve a more slender appearance of the lower portion of the legs. The back of the knees are about the only area of the legs that surgeons prefer not to treat with lipo. This is because of the risk of damaging vital nerves and blood vessels located in this region.

Women often look to liposuction to treat excess fat stores in the upper arms. This is a common complaint among women. Weight gain and aging tends to increase the problem. This is not as common a problem among men.

The face and neck, including the chin, jowls, and cheeks, are becoming more commonly requested areas of treatment. New equipment and techniques make undergoing liposuction treatment of areas of the face a lot easier than past methods. Lipo of these areas can help eliminate chubby cheeks, double chins, and droopy jowls.

A common problem area for men is their chest. This is especially true for men who have gynecomastia (enlargement of male breasts) or who are overweight. Liposuction treatment can help eliminate the fat from the chest and create a flatter and firmer appearance.
