This procedure may be performed in a hospital, surgical center, or office 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.

There are a few more recent techniques 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 requires the use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, causing it to become swollen and firm before being removed. The technique known as Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) involves the liquification of fat prior to its removal using ultrasound energy.

Following 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 will need to be held off on 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.
