Liposuction
While diet and exercise alone may sometimes prove ineffective in shifting stubborn areas of fat, liposuction is the removal of an overly abundant concentration of fatty cells in a localised area of the body.

By the process of suctioning through small incisions, the most frequently treated areas of the tummy, thigh, buttocks, knees, lower legs and ankles, can have fat removed and leave the individual with an increased level of confidence and cosmetic satisfaction.
Liposuction is generally recommended to individuals that are near to their ideal weight, but who may struggle to get rid of troublesome areas of fat through a healthy regime. However, overweight patients are also possible candidates for the treatment and can benefit from the immediacy of results, as part of a more concentrated effort to lose weight by additional means.
Liposuction is carried out by a softening of the tissues with a specialised, weak form of anaesthetic. This then allows for the incision and placement of very fine tubes, which suction out the excess fat cells.
Dr. Medling also uses liposculpture in the treatment of conditions such as gynecomastia (excess breast tissue) in males. Liposuction is ideally suited to deal with the often troublesome area in men, providing a lean and sculpted chest.
In some instances, this fat can be utilised to augment the cheeks or lips, by reinserting it to the body. This process aids the rejuvenation of the face and can also be used on the back of the hands and in correction of skin and other defects.
