Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, removes excess fat tissue, reshaping the body contour and creating a slimmer appearance. This procedure can be performed on its own, but it can also be combined with other interventions such as tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. It should be mentioned that it is not an effective treatment against cellulite or being overweight.
Candidates for liposuction should be healthy and relatively physically fit, have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone, and be within 30% of their ideal weight, and as with any surgical procedure, they may some pain, swelling and bruising is experienced after it is performed.
