Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat that you can’t seem to get rid of through diet and exercise. It’s a surgical operation that employs a suction technique to remove fat from particular body parts, such as the belly, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck. Moreover, liposuction contours (shapes) these areas. Liposuction is also known as lipoplasty and body sculpting.

Liposuction isn’t often seen as an all-encompassing weight-loss technique or a weight-loss substitute. If you have a steady body weight overall but have excess body fat in some areas, you might be a candidate for liposuction.
