Liposuction is a cosmetic fat-removal procedure for body contouring — not a weight-loss treatment or obesity solution.
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat from specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. It is not a weight-loss method — it shapes and contours the body by removing localised fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is a surgical body-contouring procedure that removes subcutaneous adipose tissue through suction-assisted cannula aspiration. It targets diet- and exercise-resistant fat deposits but does not address visceral fat or improve metabolic health parameters such as insulin sensitivity or cardiovascular risk profile.
Many patients confuse cosmetic fat removal with medical weight management. It is important to understand that liposuction does not treat obesity or its related health conditions — medical weight management at Accord Medical addresses the root causes.
