Benefits
Precise fat removalRefined body contoursTreats multiple areas in one sessionMinimal scarring (tiny incisions)Long-lasting with stable weightImproved body proportions
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a treatment for weight loss, but rather a precise way to sculpt and refine specific areas of the body — creating smoother, more defined contours.
Common areas treated include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, knees, upper arms, back, chin and neck. Mr Thacoor uses tumescent liposuction technique through tiny, discreet incisions, with great care taken to achieve smooth, even results.
