Liposcution is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the United States. Liposuction is the surgical vacuuming of fat from beneath the surface of the skin.
Liposuction improves body shape using tube and vacuum devices to remove unwanted fat deposits.
It is a volume reducing technique for areas that do not respond to dieting and exercise. Liposuction is meant to improve the body, not perfect it. The most frequently treated areas in women are the waistline, abdomen, outer thighs, inner thighs, buttocks, knees, ankles, and neckline. In men, the most frequently treated areas are the love handles, breasts, abdomen, and neckline. The process requires the use of a cannula.
