To remove contours, liposuction is a surgical technique used to shape the body by removing unwanted areas of fat. Patients undergoing liopsuction may be given general anesthesia or merely sedated to undergo liposuction and generally do not need to remain hospitalized overnight.

Local anesthesia is used, usually supplemented with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
The procedure is usually done under general or spinal anesthetic. To add contours to the face or body, grafts of the patient's own fatty tissue can be used where creases make a face look older, such as around the lips and eyes.
