also known as lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the body using a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through a small incision in the skin and is used to suction out the excess fat. Liposuction can be used to remove fat from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck. It is often used to improve the contours of the body and to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Liposuction can be an effective way to remove excess fat, but it is not a weight loss procedure. It is best suited for people who are at or near their ideal body weight but have specific areas of fat that they would like to remove. It is important to note that liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, and it is not a treatment for obesity.
