liposuction or liposuction is a cosmetic surgery technique used to remove excess body fat in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips and arms. It is a highly effective technique to remove localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise, and to sculpt the body in a more defined and aesthetic way.

The liposuction procedure involves the insertion of small suction cannulas through small incisions in the skin. These cannulas are used to suction subcutaneous fat from the targeted areas. The plastic surgeon may use different liposuction techniques depending on the patient’s needs and the areas to be treated, such as ultrasound-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction and tumescent liposuction.
