What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is described as a procedure that removes excess body fat. It is a surgical procedure that is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves the use of suction to remove fat from specific areas of the body. There are several types of liposuction procedures, but all involve the same basic technique of sucking out body fat through small incisions in the skin.
