GlossaryLiposuction (fat removal)

cosmetic surgery removing excess fat using suction

Liposuction, also known as lipo or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. The procedure involves the use of a suction device, often attached to a thin, hollow tube called a cannula, which is inserted through small incisions in the skin to break up and suction out the fat.
