Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to improve body contour and shape. It involves the use of a thin tube (cannula) that is inserted through small incisions, which is then used to suction out fat. Liposuction can be performed on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and chin. While it is effective for fat removal, it is not a weight-loss solution and is typically recommended for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn fat pockets. The procedure generally requires some recovery time, and results can be long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle.
