Liposuction Treatment, which is also variously known as lipoplasty (which means "fat modeling"), liposculpture or suction lipectomy (which means "suction assisted fat removal") is a type of cosmetic surgery operation. Its function is to remove fat from many different places of the human body like abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, backs of the arms and other places. The usual method of fat removal is done by using canula (which is basically a hollow tube) and aspirator (which is a suction device). Some deposits of fat do not respond to the usual methods of losing unwanted weight and fat using exercise and diet. In those cases, liposuction is the ideal procedure to use.
Barring above cases, Liposuction is not a low effort alternative to exercise and diet. It is only a kind of body contouring method which entails considerable risk and should not be considered as a regular method to reduce body weight. It is a surgical method to remove ugly fat deposits and to contour the body. Like any other surgical methods, undergoing liposuction has its own risk factors. The fat under the skin is removed by using hollow pen like instruments with the help of vacuum.
Liposuction is also used to remove excess fat from male breast, but this procedure is more popularly applied on other parts of the body. Several factors limit the amount of fat that could be removed by using this procedure in one application. The average amount of fat that could be removed in one single session could be around 5 Kg or 10 pounds. There are some cases where as much of 23 kg or 50 pounds of fat have been removed but it is quite risky. The adverse effect of removing too much fat would be dents, lumpiness or contour deformity of skin of the person did undergo the procedure. Because of the amount of contouring could be done, it may appear that the patient has lost more weight than the actual amount of fat removed.
The procedure could be carried out under general or local anesthesia. The safety of the procedure not only depends on the amount of fat removed but also on the type of anesthesia used and the patient's overall health. The patient should be as fit as possible before starting the procedure and should have stopped smoking for several months. In spite of all these short comings, it still remains one of the more popular methods used in cosmetic surgery.
