What is Liposuction ?

The main purpose of liposuction is to reshape one or more areas of your body, not to reduce body weight. Liposuction is typically used on "problem" areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise.

These areas are often on the outer thighs , waist and hips in women and the waist and back in men. The face, neck, abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, and upper arms are all commonly treated areas as well.

Liposuction is sometimes used in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a "tummy tuck" (abdominoplasty), breast reduction, or face-lift.

Liposuction may also be used to treat certain medical conditions, including:

  • Benign fatty tumors (lipomas).
  • Abnormal enlargement of the male breasts (gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia).
  • Problems with metabolism of fat in the body (lipodystrophy).
  • Excessive sweating in the armpit area (axillary hyperhidrosis).
  • Liposuction is not used to treat obesity. It will not get rid of cellulite or stretch marks.

Liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. During liposuction, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through tiny cuts in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes as the doctor moves the tubes around under the skin to target specific fat deposits.

In recent years, improved techniques have made liposuction safer, easier, and less painful. These newer techniques include:

  • Tumescent liposuction - A local anesthetic is used to numb the area of your body where the tube will be inserted. Next, a large amount of an anesthetic solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the fatty tissue before traditional liposuction is done. Tumescent liposuction may not require general anesthesia (which makes you sleep through the procedure).
  • Ultrasound-assisted liposuction - This technique uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat, which makes it easier to remove. This technique may be particularly helpful in removing fat from the neck, upper abdomen, sides, and back.
  • Laser-assisted liposuction - This technique uses low-energy waves to liquefy the fat, which is removed through a small cannula.
