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

This procedure can occur in a hospital, surgical center, or office with the use of either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. The traditional form of liposuction begins with small incisions being made on the skin of the areas being treated. A narrow, blunt-tipped tube called a cannula is then inserted into the incisions. This instrument is then pushed back and forth beneath the skin in order to target and disrupt specific fat deposits which are then suctioned out.

There are a few more recent methods which can be performed in conjunction with traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. With Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), the cannula is not manually manipulated by the surgeon because a reciprocating cannula is used instead. Tumescent Liposuction uses 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.

After undergoing the procedure, 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 refrained from for at least a month. Listed as follows are the risks and complications associated with liposuction: 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.
