Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of your body that haven't responded to diet and exercise. It's one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, helping patients achieve smoother, more sculpted body contours.During the procedure, your surgeon uses a thin tube called a cannula to break up and suction out excess fat. The most common technique is tumescent liposuction, where a solution containing saline, local anesthetic, and epinephrine is injected into the treatment area. This fluid minimizes bleeding, reduces discomfort, and makes fat removal easier and safer.Liposuction can be performed on multiple body areas, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, hips, arms, back, chin, and neck. Your surgeon makes small incisions strategically placed in inconspicuous locations, then carefully sculpts each area to create natural-looking contours that complement your body's proportions.
