Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical treatment performed to eliminate the existing stubborn subcutaneous fat present in specific parts of the body by sucking them out with a thin tube known as a cannula.

The aim is to make the body appear well-balanced and contoured. It is most suitable for people with stubborn areas of body fat, but otherwise have a stable body weight. Liposuction, or may also be known as lipoplasty is not a weight loss procedure, but a body contouring treatment that can help to smoothen specific spots with grooves and bulges that are difficult to be eliminated by diet and exercise.

Liposuction is done by inserting a cannula (a hollow thin tube) under the skin. Then a high-pressure vacuum will break up the fats and suck them out. The cannula will be driven into the body until enough stubborn fats are sucked out. Meanwhile, your body fluid will be replenished through an intravenous line.
