Liposuction - Removal of excess body fat, using suction tubes and in most cases, with ultrasonic-assistance, from areas of excess contours which will not respond to diet, exercise or weight-loss, ranging from the jaw line and neck to the trunk, abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs, down to the calves and ankles. Done under general anesthesia as an outpatient unless a significant amount of fat is removed (i.e. multiple sites at one sitting). Tummy Tuck - Excision of excess abdominal fat and skin and tightening of loose muscles of the abdominal wall available for both men and women, but usually requested to deal with the after effects of pregnancies or significant weight loss. Usually requires overnight stay; usually combined with at least limited liposuction of trunk/flanks. Thigh Lift - Excision of excess or sagging skin (and usually combined with liposuction) of the thigh - can be done separately for medial thigh or can be done circumferentially (for lateral/posterior thigh/buttocks) when incorporated in the lower body lift procedure.
