It's no secret that times are a little hard right now. Throughout America, people have been trying to cut down on expenses and look for bargains to try and get through the current economic hardships.

Lipoplasty is a surgical technique for removing fat from the body. However, recent advances in technology are making it more and more possible for the fat removed during surgery to be recycled and moved to another area of the body.One of the biggest areas of interest for this sort of fat transfer is the buttocks.
