The liposuction procedure can be used to sculpt and reshape many areas of the body, but it is not a miracle and not a cure for weight loss. Patients must be realistic in their expectations of the liposuction surgery and must be willing to wait a while for the overall results to be realised.

Liposuction is performed in order to remove excess fatty deposits from various parts of the body and is the one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures. A number of small tubes called cannula are inserted into small incisions and fat cells are extracted using a sucking technique. Liposuction results vary, but provided you have reasonable expectations and consulted with your physician before your surgery, you are likely to consider the result to be well worth the effort.
