Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty and body contouring, is a surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from the body. This procedure targets stubborn fat that you can’t seem to get rid of through diet or exercise. Liposuction can remove fat from almost anywhere on the body but is usually is employed to remove fat on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, back, arms, and neck. This state-of-the-art procedure can improve the shape of these areas and can be paired with other plastic surgery procedures, including mini facelifts and Brazilian butt lifts. While not considered an overall weight-loss method, liposuction is effective when it comes to reducing body fat in specific areas.
