Ask the Nurse

I want to get fat removed from my breast, stomach and arm. Is it safe?


With any surgical procedure, there is always a risk. It is important to explore all options and see a trusted plastic surgeon if you are interested in plastic surgery. If you are looking to have fat removed from your breast, this will likely require a formal breast reduction surgery by a certified plastic surgeon. For your arms and stomach area, there are newer, non-invasive treatment options that can help rid stubborn fat, including CoolSculpting®. Be sure to find a certified physician to perform these procedures.
