Liposuction
It is a surgical procedure where a suction technique is used to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, hips, arms, or neck. It helps to give proper shape to these areas. It is also referred to as lipoplasty and body contouring. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method or its alternative. In case you're overweight you’ll lose more weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric procedures that include gastric bypass surgery. You can go for liposuction in case you have too much body fat in specific spots but otherwise have stable body weight.

Need of Liposuction
It is used to remove fat from areas of the body that do not respond to diet and exercise, such as the:
· Abdomen
· Chest and back
· Hips and thighs
· Chin and neck
· Upper arms
· Buttocks
· Calves and ankles
· Breast reduction
· Gynecomastia
· Reducing number of fat cells
The Procedure
Before the procedure, your surgeon will require a review of your medical history. He will ask about any medical conditions you may have and any medications, supplements, or herbs you are taking.
Before the liposuction procedure surgeon will mark circles and lines on the areas of your body to be treated. Photos are also taken for comparison. This is the most common type of liposuction where the surgeon injects a sterile solution made of a mixture of saltwater to aid fat removal. An anaesthetic is also given to relieve pain and a drug that causes the blood vessels to constrict is provided into the area that's being treated. Due to this fluid mixture, the affected area gets swollen and stiff. The surgeon will have to make small cuts into your skin to insert a thin tube called a cannula under your skin. It is connected to a vacuum that suctions fat and fluids from your body.
Take Away
It's a natural process for skin to lose some firmness with aging. Liposuction results are long-lasting and help to maintain your weight. Even if you gain weight afterward your fat distribution may change.
