Everyone knows about liposuction on the upper thighs, the abdomen, and the hips. Those are big areas where the surgeon can move the cannula back and forth rather aggressively to break loose and then suction out unwanted fat. But what about more delicate areas such as the cheeks, chin, and around the neck? Are those […]
