Liposuction is known as lipoplasty, liposculpture suction,lipectomy is a surgery that breaks up and “sucks” fat from the body. Liposuction is done to eliminate fat from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, calves and back. The process of liposuction involves the removal of fat through a hollow instrument called cannula. Cannula is inserted under the skin. A powerful and high pressure vacuum is attached to the cannula which removes undesirable deposits of body fat in specific parts of the body. Liposuction leads to the permanent removal of fat cells from the body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial ;otherwise, it can cause the fat cells to grow bigger

Types of liposuction

In recent years, advancement in technology has made liposuction safer, easier and less painful. The types of liposuction are:

• Tumescent liposuction:

The process of tumescent liposuction includes using a local anesthesia to numb the area of the body where the tube is inserted. The anesthetic solution includes lidocaine and epinephrine, which is inserted into the fatty tissue before liposuction is done.

• Ultra-sound assisted liposuction:

This process uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat. This makes the process of fat removal easier. Ultra-sound assisted liposuction is particularly helpful for removing fat from the neck, upper abdomen, neck, back and the sides.

• Laser-assisted liposuction:

Low energy waves are used to liquefy the fat in the body. This process of fat removal is done by the help of cannula.
