 LIPOSUCTION
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is surgery to improve the contour of your body by removing pockets of excess fat from specific areas of the body. "Lipo" comes from the Greek word "lipos," meaning fat.
Other names for liposuction are lipoplasty and suction lipectomy
Liposuction uses suction to remove fat deposits.
The suction is provided by a vacuum-like device or sometimes by a large syringe.
The suction device is inserted through a small incision in the body, and the surgeon suctions out the fat tissue.
Liposuction is not an alternative to weight loss if you are overweight.
But it offers a way to a smoother, trimmer body for those with extra pockets of fat that won't go away with weight loss or exercise.
The best candidates for liposuction are people who:
(1)Are close to normal weight
(2)Have pockets of excess fat, but with firm skin
(3)Are physically and psychologically healthy
(4)Have realistic expectations about what they hope the procedure will do for them
Liposuction can remove fat from many different areas of the body, including the thighs, hips, abdomen, buttocks, breasts, waist, upper arms, and neck
The techniques to perform liposuction have improved significantly in the past decade.
