Liposuction, also called 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. Areas of the body which are frequently treated with liposuction include the abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs, and upper arms.

This procedure can occur in a hospital, surgical center, or office while using 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.

Following 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. 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.

There are several newer methods which may be combined with traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) involves the use of a reciprocating cannula. This means that the surgeon no longer has to manually manipulate the instrument. Tumescent Liposuction entails the 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. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction, also known as UAL, uses ultrasound energy. This liquefies the fat before it is removed.
