Liposuction currently ranks as the number two cosmetic surgery procedure in the US after breast augmentation. While a growing number of patients are seeking this surgery every year, they should make the decision only after careful deliberation and after clarifying all their issues and concerns with the cosmetic surgeon.

Once the patient is completely clear about liposuction and satisfied with the surgeon’s answers, they will be better placed to make the right choice. Dr. Landon McLain is a double board certified cosmetic and oral & maxillofacial surgeon providing liposuction and various other procedures to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding communities.
