Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction is a surgical procedure
intended to remove fat deposits and shape the body. Fat is removed from
under the skin with the use of a vacuum-suction canula (a hollow pen-like
instrument) or using an ultrasonic probe that emulfsies (breaks up into
small pieces) the fat and then removes it with suction. Liposuction may
be performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back,
neck, or face. A liposuction procedure may include more than one site,
for instance, the abdomen, back, and thighs all on the same day. Liposuction
is also used to reduce breast size in men with large breasts (gynecomastia)
or to remove fat tumors (lipomas) but it is most commonly used for cosmetic
body shaping.
