What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
As long as excess fat exists, most areas of the body are amenable to liposuction. The art is in deciding which type of liposuction should ideally be performed on each part of the face or body to enhance beauty and create balance, harmony, and a beautiful, natural-looking contour. To bring your vision to life and obtain a beautifully contoured, refined face and body that enhances your aesthetic senses, Dr. Hamilton artfully performs custom-designed liposuction on the following parts of the human figure to achieve transformational, long-lasting results:
Neck, Jawline, and Chin (‘Double Chin’) Liposuction
Dr. Hamilton artistically extracts excess, persistent, submental fat that has accumulated around the neck, jawline, and under the chin with submental ‘chin’ liposuction. This transformational procedure is the Gold Standard Technique for permanently removing stubborn fat in the lower face, especially stubborn double chins. Performed ‘awake’, Dr. Hamilton instantly creates a beautiful, slim, defined, sculpted, smooth neck and jawline for women – and an attractive, masculine, contoured, and more angular jawline for men. One of the most-requested facial aesthetic procedures to emerge in recent years, the newly sculpted jawline creates a youthful-looking appearance that highlights a fine, defined angle between the chin and the neck, for beautiful facial balance and harmony.
Female Breasts / Pre-axillary Area Beside the Armpit (‘Bra Bulge’)
Dr. Hamilton performs female breast and pre-axillary liposuction to contour small volumes of fatty tissue with precision. Female with precision Breast Liposuction targets the patient’s excess fat in the breasts (rather than the breast’s glandular or muscular tissue) to create smaller, symmetrical, youthful-looking breasts. In addition, Dr. Hamilton can skillfully remove excess pre-axillary rolls (also called ‘bra bulge’)—a collection of fat separate from the rest of the breast and commonly seen in women as a small bulge of fat next to the armpit—to create a smooth, concave contour and a slimmer, toned, attractive feminine silhouette. Pre-axillary liposuction improves the symmetry, look, and proportional balance of the upper body and enables improved clothing fit and look, boosting confidence.
Upper and Lower Abdomen Liposuction
Upper and lower abdominal liposuction removes extra fat cells stored in these parts of the body to create a slimmer, sleeker, smoother profile and more toned midsection and abdominal shape featuring balance, symmetry, and harmony—one that ensures a smooth transition from top to bottom.
For women, the goal is to obtain a smooth, toned, shapely, hour-glass appearance, whilst in men, a more defined outline of the abdominal muscles and ‘six-pack’ is desired.
Upper and lower abdominal liposuction is typically combined with liposuction of the lateral abdomen and anterior flanks to significantly smooth and re-contour the entire abdomen.
Back Liposuction (‘Back Roll’; ‘Bra Roll’; ‘Buffalo Hump’)
Liposuctioning back fat, widely found on both men and women, is a highly effective way to remove resistant pockets of fat from all areas of the back (the lower, middle, and upper areas) to create a sculpted, defined, leaner, youthful-looking back. Back Liposuction effectively creates and highlights a slim, sleek contour and profile. Liposuctioning the dense layer of fatty back tissue restores men with a sculpted back featuring strong, defined shoulders and women with a trim, shapely, hourglass shape. The back becomes free of bulging fat pockets that often protrude through clothing such as a ‘back roll’ around the lower back and flanks as well as a ‘bra roll’ that bulges out at the bra line—creating a smooth, slim contour and appearance. Liposuction of the upper back is an effective technique to treat a ‘buffalo hump’ (or dorsocervical fat pad), which is a fat deposit located at the base of the neck between the shoulder blades with a curved, hump-like protrusion. Because of its placement, there are no specific exercises or fat-burning strategies that can effectively target this condition. With buffalo hump liposuction, Dr. Hamilton extracts the targeted fat strategically, safely removing the projecting fat pad from the base of the neck and then artfully contours the shape of the neck and back to give the patient a beautiful, slimmer upper back.
Upper Arm Liposuction
Upper arm liposuction removes excess pockets of stubborn fat located on the upper arms to smooth, tighten, and restore the youthful look of slim, contoured, sculpted arms. Dr. Hamilton highlights the natural outline of the muscles (the biceps) and creates a more acute angle between the upper arm and the side of the body for a beautiful appearance.
Male Chest / Male Breast Liposuction (‘Gynecomastia’)
When males develop feminine-looking, overly developed, enlarged breast tissue (a condition called ‘Gynecomastia’), Dr. Hamilton performs male chest liposuction, strategically removing the excess fat stored in the chest area to create a flatter, firmer chest with a masculine-looking contour and profile. This procedure is found to boost male confidence and self-esteem significantly.
Waist Liposuction, Including Flanks (‘Love Handles’ / ‘Muffin Top’)
Dr. Hamilton performs Waist and Flank Liposuction to slenderize and trim the waistline and flanks (the fleshy part of the side of the body between the ribs and the hip) effectively eliminating persistent ‘Love Handles’ or a ‘Muffin Top’ (the deposits of stubborn, excess fat around the midsection that obscure the smooth contours of the waist and flanks)—slimming the entire circumference of the waist.
Liposuctioning the flanks and love handles restores and enhances the hourglass figure women desire, while restoring and optimizing a masculine-looking midsection and athletic physique for men.
Upper Arm Liposuction
Upper arm liposuction removes excess pockets of stubborn fat located on the upper arms to smooth, tighten, and restore the youthful look of slim, contoured, sculpted arms. Dr. Hamilton highlights the natural outline of the muscles (the biceps) and creates a more acute angle between the upper arm and the side of the body for a beautiful appearance.
Hip and Inner/Outer Thigh Liposuction (‘Saddle Bags’; ‘Banana Roll’):
Inner and Outer Thigh Liposuction enhances the overall shape, symmetry, balance, and contour of the lower body. The procedure effectively eliminates irregularities in form and outline and ‘Saddle Bags’ (stubborn, persistent fat that collects at the top of the thighs). Liposuction that targets excess fat pockets on the outer and inner thighs reduces the circumference of the thighs and creates a smooth contour, symmetry, and balance. Contouring the inner thighs produces a flattering, attractive, youthful-looking gap between the thighs. Hip liposuction, involving exquisite hip sculpting, beautifully improves the appearance of the buttocks. The posterior thigh, which is the area of the ‘Banana Roll’ (where excess fat accumulates between the lower buttock and the top of the thigh, appearing as a crescent-shaped roll of fat), can be reshaped to remove the banana roll and give the buttocks a firmer, more defined appearance. Hip Liposuction normally also involves performing liposuction on the flanks to remove the fat rolls (namely, the ‘Love Handles’ and ‘Muffin Top’) in order to create smooth, shapely, contoured hips, producing a smoother, more natural transition and a shapelier lower body.
Buttock Liposuction
Buttock liposuction is an excellent technique for removing a conservative amount of excess fat from the buttocks to optimize the size and shape of the buttocks and make the individual’s figure look more proportionate by sculpting shapelier, smoother, and more rounded buttocks. The procedure enhances the natural outline of the gluteus maximus and smooths uneven contours and dimpling to create a more toned and sculpted look, while ensuring that the natural contours of the body are maintained. Sculpting the buttocks often involves performing liposuction on the upper-outer buttocks, plus nearby parts of the body, including the hip-flank area, outer thighs, lower back, and waist, enhancing the overall appearance of the buttocks. In cases where a significant volume decrease is desired, the procedure may be combined with an excisional “buttock lift” to ensure a smooth, pert appearance.
Leg Liposuction (Knees, Calves, and Ankles)
- Knee Liposuction: Knee Liposuction eliminates stubborn pockets of excess fat around the knees, creating a smooth, contoured look and aesthetically pleasing shape to the knees – triggering a positive impact on the overall look of the legs. Liposuction of the knees is often performed in connection with liposuction of the thighs to achieve a more contoured look.
- Calf Liposuction: Calf Liposuction slims and shapes the lower legs, creates greater definition of the calves, and eliminates irregularities in contour and profile, revealing sculpted, toned, tapered lower legs and a proportionate, slimmer profile.
- Ankles Liposuction (‘Cankles’): Ankle Liposuction enables Dr. Hamilton to deftly remove small fat deposits around the ankles (the look of which is referred to as ‘Cankles’) to make the lower legs look more slim, toned, and contoured, giving them gorgeous shape and definition.
