Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure
intended to get rid of fat deposits and contour the body. These procedures
are for sculpting the body and are not recommended for weight loss. Tumescent
liposuction is the most common type of liposuction and involves injecting
a large quantity of medicated solution into the areas prior to the fat
being removed. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is a new procedure wherein
ultrasonic vibrations are used to liquefy fat cells and then vacuumed
out. This type of surgery is most popular type of cosmetic procedure chosen
by patients. It is also useful for contouring the chin, neck, cheeks,
upper arms, breasts, abdomen, butt, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankle
areas.
