Liposuction, known also as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure designed to sculpt or recontour 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 be completed 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 several more recent techniques which can be performed alongside 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, allowing 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.

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 will need to be held off on for at least a month. The risks associated with liposuction may 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.
