What is liposuction?

Liposuction is the surgical aspiration of fat which helps achieve desirable shape and contour of the body by the removal of unwanted pockets of fat deposits beneath the skin. The procedure is completed utilizing a hollow tube, also called a cannula, assisted with the powerful suction device.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed by board-certified plastic surgeons worldwide. Its application is not limited to cosmetic surgeries alone and it is also indicated for pathologies like cellulite, lipoma, sweat gland disorder like hyperhidrosis, lymphedema etc.

The fat accumulations in the body could be due to hereditary factor, and may be predetermined in the same area as parents, grandparents etc. and usually do not respond to exercise, diets or classic slimming treatments.

Each one of us is born with a predetermined number of fat cells which increase in size as we grow and gain weight. Liposuction causes permanent removal of fat cells thereby decreasing their number for life.

However, it is not a weight loss solution. It is more of a body contouring solution that gives a good shape to the body part from which the fat is extracted. Liposuction is proving to be a very effective and in-demand surgery, which is also due to the fact that it is a very safe procedure when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
