Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from different parts of the body. Fat is removed by first inserting a small tube (a cannula) through tiny incisions close to the area to be suctioned. Incisions are very small – usually under a quarter inch.
Liposuction can be effective in many areas of the body:
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Thighs
- Calves
- Ankles
- Under the chin
You are more likely to get good results from this procedure if your skin has good tone and elasticity which helps to achieve a smooth result following fat suctioning.

The Ideal Candidate for Liposuction
People who are not overweight but have isolated areas of fat that they cannot get rid of through diet and exercise are good candidates for liposuction. Dr. Tumi, an experienced Barrie liposuction surgeon, will assess the quality of your skin and may ask you how your areas of localized fat were affected by weight loss in the past.

At the Barrie Plastic Surgery Clinic, liposuction costs will vary significantly depending on the candidate and the amount of work needed.
