Liposuction

Introduction

Before	After

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure in which localized areas of fat are removed from beneath the skin using a suction device inserted through a small incision.

This procedure is primarily for removing stubborn areas of fat, usually around the hips, thighs, buttocks, stomach, upper trunk and neck, which have proved resistant to diet and exercise. It should not be considered as a means of losing weight.

The maximum amount of fat which can be removed is about four litres (large liposuction), (in some countries this may be as high as six, radical liposuction), so reduction of actual body weight is minimal.
