Over 250,000 liposuction surgeries are performed a year, making this procedure the second most popular plastic surgery treatment in the country – only breast augmentation is more popular. Though women represent the majority of those undergoing liposuction, it is also a popular surgical option for men. With advances in technology, more and more people are turning to liposuction to finally address areas of their body that have bothered them for years and achieve the slimmer contours and symmetry they desire.
