What Areas of the Body Are Most Commonly Treated with Liposuction?

A woman posing in a green bra and underwear after liposuction in San Antonio Did you know that liposuction is one of the top five most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S.? The American Society of Plastic Surgery reports that nearly 350,000 treatments are carried out each year.

If you’re considering liposuction, understanding where it can be used is an important first step.

Dr. Jessica Belz, a board-certified San Antonio plastic surgeon, performs liposuction on various areas. She provides thoughtful, detail-oriented care for patients across South Texas and is a trusted choice for body contouring.

Top Areas for Liposuction

Liposuction is versatile and can be used on many parts of the body. The following are some of the most common treatment zones.

1. Abdomen and Flanks

The abdomen and flanks are some of the most requested locations. Fat around the belly and “love handles” may be resistant to workouts, making them prime targets for liposuction.

2. Thighs

Many people also want to address the inner and outer thighs. Liposuction can reduce thigh circumference and improve proportions. This often makes it easier to find clothing that fits comfortably.

3. Hips and Buttocks

Shaping the hips and smoothing the lower body contour is another popular goal. Liposuction in the hips and buttocks may also be combined with other procedures like tummy tucks for more noticeable results.

4. Arms

Some individuals carry excess fat in the upper arms, leading to a bulky or sagging appearance. Liposuction can create a slimmer, more toned look.

5. Neck and Chin

Submental fat (a “double chin”) can be frustrating. Targeting this site with liposuction will give you a sharper, more defined jawline.

6. Back and Bra Line

Fat that gathers around the upper or lower back – especially near the bra line – is another place people often want to address. Liposuction sculpts the body and makes form-fitting clothing more flattering.
