What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that takes away fat from specific body areas. It is a popular procedure for people who want to improve their body contours or eliminate stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
There are two important types of liposuction: traditional liposuction and laser liposuction. Traditional liposuction uses a cannula, a thin tube with a sharp tip, to suction out the fat. Laser liposuction uses a laser to heat and liquefy fat, which is suctioned out.
It is a safe procedure when implemented by a qualified surgeon. However, there are some risks associated with liposuction, including:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Numbness
- Contour irregularities
- Seroma (fluid buildup)
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia
