Liposuction in Egypt is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures that aim to remove excess unwanted fat from the body. As the name symbolizes, this procedure eliminates unwanted fat by breaking it up and sucking it out. Despite not being a weight-loss method, liposuction is the most effective way to permanently get rid of localized fat in selected body areas.
Liposuction in Egypt is not covered by insurance. Generally, there is no specific cost for liposuction treatment, rather, there is an average cost since many factors determine the price such as the body area, where you live, the surgeon’s certificates and skills, and associated fees.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that breaks up and gets rid of fat from a selected area of your body. The surgeon performs a series of small incisions in your skin to insert a small tube called a cannula which breaks down and suctions the fat out of your body to sculpt this area. Then these incisions get closed, which might leave a small scar that fades over time.
Liposuction is also performed non-surgically where the surgeon uses noninvasive techniques to break down the fat cell that the body will get rid of later.
Liposuction in Egypt is known among the public as body sculpting, body contouring, or lipoplasty.
