What is Liposuction?

what-is-liposuction

Liposuction is a medical procedure that physically removed unwanted fat from the body, arms and thighs. Oddly enough, many people consider it a weight-loss procedure when in fact it is actually a body sculpting procedure that removes fat. These fatty deposits form in many areas of the body and are not always affected by diet or exercise.  They can make your body look lumpy or bumpy in all the wrong places. If body shape is important to you for whatever reason, you may want to consider undergoing liposuction.

How it is done

Liposuction is performed by a cosmetic surgeon (medical doctor) who is experienced in the procedure. It is done by inserting a small tube called a cannula just under the skin and sucking out the fatty deposits. These are usually kept until the procedure is finished so that the doctor knows how much liquid has been removed from your body. This will ensure you don’t become dehydrated.
