The Body Contouring and Liposuction Procedure

2. Procedure: Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia, using small incisions to insert a cannula that suctions out fat. Advanced techniques may be used for enhanced contouring.
3. Contouring: Dr. Mukami sculpts the treated areas to achieve a natural, masculine look.
4. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
