Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat from targeted areas to improve body shape and contour. It works best for people who maintain a healthy weight but struggle with stubborn fat that diet and exercise cannot remove.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, neck, and chin. During surgery, the surgeon inserts a thin tube called a cannula through small cuts. They use techniques such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted (VASER), or laser-assisted lipolysis to remove fat.

Doctors usually perform Liposuction under local or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and amount of fat. Recovery is fast, with most patients returning to light activity within a few days and to full activity in a few weeks.

While not a weight-loss solution, Liposuction provides lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle. The procedure enhances body contours and improves confidence.
