Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure which involves the sculpting or recontouring or one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. The abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs and upper arms are all commonly treated areas of the body.

This procedure may take place in a hospital, surgical center, or office utilizing either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Every patient undergoing liposuction has traditional liposuction performed on them, even if some other technique is also used. Traditional liposuction uses a narrow blunt-tipped tube called a cannula which is inserted into incisions and pushed back and forth beneath the skin This targets specific fat deposits which are then suctioned out.

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 avoided for at least a month. The potential complications and risks associated with liposuction are as follows: 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 a few more recent methods which are performed in conjunction with traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. A reciprocating cannula is used for Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) rather than having a cannula which is manually manipulated by the surgeon. Tumescent Liposuction makes use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, making it swollen and firm before being removed. For Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) the fat is liquefied using ultrasound energy before it is removed.
