What Area of Your Body Needs Liposuction the Most?
Posted April 30, 2025 in Body Procedures
Does it seem like you’re on a never-ending quest to “spot treat” areas of your body where you carry a bit more fatty bulges than you’d like? While sticking to a healthy diet and engaging in a regular exercise regimen is always encouraged, you might be frustrated by the lack of results when it comes to pesky pockets of localized fat deposits that just won’t budge. The good news is that you’re not alone, and there’s an easy solution to your dilemma.
In this blog, we’ll explore the top places on the body most often treated with liposuction to remove unwanted fat to give you a noticeably trimmer new shape.

6 Common Areas Treated With Liposuction in Beverly Hills
Every body holds fat differently, yet these six trouble spots are the ones patients most often seek to refine. Unwanted fat removal with advanced, high-definition liposuction in Beverly Hills creates smoother, more athletic lines where diet and workouts fall short.
1. Abdomen
The abdomen is likely the most popular place on the body for liposuction in Beverly Hills for men and women. For women, you may be struggling to lose a bit of extra fat after pregnancy or fighting against a menopausal middle. Men might want to address a “dad bod” that makes them feel self-conscious when wearing a tailored shirt or while at the pool.
It’s no surprise that getting liposuction on your stomach to remove excess fat is so popular. It immediately improves your shape, giving you a flatter tummy and a visibly slimmer waistline. Liposuction can target the upper abdomen, lower belly, and even the flanks (more on that later), restoring your confidence in your appearance—both in your clothes and out of them.
2. Thighs
While you may not think about your thighs as a prime target area for liposuction, it’s definitely a cosmetic procedure that can give you shapely legs and even eliminate physical discomfort. Liposuction can remove unwanted fat on the outer thighs (commonly known as “saddlebags”) that is resistant to diet and exercise, as well as the inner thighs and even the area above your knees. If you struggle with painful chafing or feel self-conscious in tighter pants, shorts, or swimwear, sculpting your thighs can make a big difference in how your clothes fit and how comfortable you feel wearing them.
Many patients choose to combine inner and outer thigh liposuction for a more balanced look, making it a great option if you want to maintain the natural shape of your legs but reduce areas of extra bulk.
3. Arms
Another potentially surprising choice for liposuction is the upper arms. Everyone wants to feel confident about wearing sleeveless tops, sundresses, and other summer attire. Arm workouts like bicep curls and pushups are excellent ways to build muscle and shape your arms. However, if you have excess fat on your upper arms, it often covers up your hard-earned muscle definition.
Liposuction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can remove fat cells resistant to diet and exercise, slimming your arms so you can confidently wear any top you want. The arms are often a place where you have extra skin, which is where Dr. Hadeed’s TriDef® liposculpting procedure comes into play. TriDef® liposculpting combines refined body contouring using high-definition liposuction surgery and skin tightening. It also has the added bonus of allowing the excess fat to boost volume in other areas of your body via fat transfer.
4. Chin and Neck
One of the most challenging places to eliminate excess fat is often under your chin. Submental fat is notoriously stubborn—it is seemingly resistant to every effort to get rid of your double chin. Liposuction in this area can remove fat deposits, giving you a more defined jawline and profile and even making your face look more youthful overall.
5. Back
It’s safe to say that most people have looked in the mirror and been frustrated to see pockets of fat squishing out of the top of their bra or bunching up under a form-fitting shirt. Bra bulges and back rolls are a common problem; however, liposuction on your upper and mid-back can remove fat cells to quickly smooth out those areas and help clothes fit more comfortably and attractively.
You may also opt to get liposuction on your lower back to enhance the appearance of your waist and even highlight the natural curve above your buttocks. Dr. Hadeed is an expert at sculpting the body using high-definition liposuction for excess fat removal, giving you an overall more slender look.
6. Hips and Flanks
Last but not least, let’s talk about flab on your hips and flanks (most commonly known as love handles). Like the abdomen, these areas are notoriously resistant to diet and exercise, and for many people, it feels like they’re the easiest places to gain fat and the hardest to lose. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can remove fat deposits and contour your hips and flanks to enhance your waistline and give you a smoother, more hourglass shape.
Liposuction on the hips and flanks is often combined with abdominal liposuction to completely make over your midsection. The result is a smoother, more proportional silhouette and an overall more shapely figure.
Can I Get Liposuction in Multiple Areas at Once?
Absolutely! Many patients choose to undergo high-definition liposuction surgery in more than one area in a single surgery. In fact, it’s a great way to ensure that you get a balanced shape and more dramatic results. As mentioned above, pairing abdominal and flank liposuction is a common surgical procedure, as is treating both the thighs and hips in one procedure.
You may also want to go a step further and get a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or Mommy Makeover to further enhance your body contour.
Is Liposuction Right for Me?
If you have specific areas you’d like to slim or contour, liposuction surgery might be the perfect choice for you. Ideal candidates for liposuction are:
- Are in good health;
- Have good skin elasticity;
- Are at or near their target weight; and
- Have realistic expectations for their results.
Although liposuction is a fat removal surgery, it is not a weight loss procedure or weight loss method. However, it can help refine your results once you’ve lost the weight.
The best way to determine if liposuction is right for you is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Hadeed. He will examine you, listen to your concerns and goals, and create a personalized treatment plan for your liposuction procedure that will give you the stunning results you desire.
