Liposuction is a type of surgery that uses suction to remove fat from specific areas. These areas are usually specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, hips, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes these areas. This process is called contour shaping. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.
Liposuction is not considered a general weight loss method or weight loss alternative. People who are overweight can lose more weight through diet and exercise or other surgical methods instead of liposuction.
If you have excess body fat in certain places but your weight is generally stable, liposuction may work for you.
