Liposuction before breast augmentation

Liposuction or thigh lift ?
More than 1.9 million liposuction procedures were recorded worldwide in 2021. A 25% jump from 2020. However, this is not the procedure that has seen the greatest increase. The thigh lift has increased by 53.1% over one year, ahead of the buttock lift, up 45.7% over the same period. In both cases, the objective is to reshape the targeted area by removing excess skin in order to firm up and tone up.
Men also opt for liposuction
For men, the two most common cosmetic surgical procedures that are performed worldwide are gynecomastia and liposuction. Gynecomastia involves the removal of fat from the chest area. Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and abdominoplasty (abdominal surgery) are also very popular.
