Liposuction (suction lipectomy or suction-assisted lipectomy)

Liposuction, also known as suction lipectomy or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a procedure that can help contour or sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, and upper arms. Although liposuction (suction lipectomy or suction-assisted lipectomy) is not a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

The best candidates for liposuction (suction lipectomy or suction-assisted lipectomy) are normal-weight individuals with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in specific areas.
