Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure meant to sculpt or recontour one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. Liposuction is most commonly used on the abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs and upper arms.

This procedure may take place in a hospital, surgical center, or office by means of either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. A narrow, blunt-tipped tube called a cannula is used for traditional liposuction. This instrument is inserted into incisions then pushed back and forth beneath the skin, targeting specific fat deposits which are then removed using suction.

After undergoing the surgery, patients are typically able to return to their normal activities when they feel comfortable doing so, which can be anywhere from several days to several weeks, though more strenuous activities should be postponed for at least a month. Potential complications which can occur with liposuction can include the following: allergic drug reactions, anesthesia reactions, aspiration pneumonia, brain damage, blood clots, cardiac arrest, excessive blood loss, excessive fluid loss, focal skin necrosis (skin death), hematomas, hypothermia, infection, perforation injury, permanent nerve damage, permanent pigment (color) changes, post-liposuction syncope (fainting), pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, scarring, seizure, seromas, uneven skin, and unfavorable drug reactions.

There are several newer techniques which can be performed alongside traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Power-Assisted Liposuction, also known as PAL, has done away with the manually manipulated cannula, using instead a reciprocating cannula. Tumescent Liposuction makes use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, leading it to become swollen and firm before being removed. Ultrasound energy is used in Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) to liquefy the fat before removing it.
