MINIMAL LIPOSUCTION

Minimal Liposuction is for those patients who are looking to do minor shaping of stubborn areas. Generally their body mass index is within normal and they have a minor area of touchup that is needed.

Couture utilizes Vaser liposuction to give optimal fat removal and skin tightening for these minor adjustments. The results are stunning. Incisions are so small they do not require any stitches. Fat that is removed by liposuction does not come back. Liposuction is great for areas that are non responsive to exercise and diet.
