One of the most popular cosmetic surgeries that Dr. Lawrence Chang, Dr. Kyo Kim and Dr. Joseph Thornton perform is liposuction. Liposuction offers a means of losing stubborn fat deposits that are seemingly immune to diet and exercise. Liposuction is often used to contour the body by permanently removing fat deposits that may be noticable through clothing. In some patients, the overall proportion of the body may appear to be unbalanced due to pockets of fat. The abdomen may protrude. Liposuction removes the excess fat resulting in a more slender, flatter and balanced body shape. Aside from the visual pleasure of removing unwanted fat, most liposuction patients find that their clothes fit better after healing. Some find that physical exercise is easier thus providing more incentive to exercise regularly and enhance one's fitness level. Most liposuction cases are done as an outpatient procedure and most people return to work in a few days to a week depending on what job they perform.
