What is Liposuction?
Using a cannula inserted under the skin through an incision, liposuction breaks up and suctions out the fat. It works in almost any part of the body where fat can accumulate and be hard to remove, from the abdomen and thighs to the submental area under the chin. While liposuction works well to remove fat, it also requires a general anesthetic, and it leaves significant bruising. Fortunately, patients have other options.
