Liposuction

The cosmetic surgery known as liposuction, often called lipoplasty and liposculpture, is an operation to remove fat from various sites on the human body. During this procedure the patient's fat is removed from under the skin with the use of a vacuum-suction canula or using an ultrasonic probe that breaks up the fat into tiny pieces which is then removed via suction. The liposuction surgery is suggested as an alternative to proper exercise and diet or to be used as a weight loss method. Since it is a surgical procedure it carries significant risks that the patient must take into consideration. Continue to this page of our website to learn more about all of the liposuction risks.
