Liposuction is a surgery which is done in order to remove the excess fats from those parts of the body where necessary. Areas where liposuction can be done are neck, thighs, buttocks, back of the arms and abdomen. Liposuction is also done to reduce breast sizes in men and to remove some types of tumors but basically it is used for body shaping. It is done when people want to reduce their fat content by doing less effort that is avoiding exercises and dieting. Liposuction can be performed only on those individuals who are above 18 and are physically fit. People having diabetes, heart problems or any other kind of infection cannot undergo this surgery. In Liposuction the fat is removed using a hollow tube called cannula and a suction device called aspirator. Liposuction is classified into various methods by changing the amount of fluid injected and the mechanisms on which cannula works.

There are five different methods of injecting fluids which are named as dry liposuction, wet liposuction, super wet liposuction, tumescent liposuction and laser liposuction. Liposuction is generally a safe process but it has some risks also. It may cause heavy bleeding, swelling and brown spots on the skin in some people. These problems are generally caused when either excess fat is removed or due to the injection of excess amount of fluid. Liposuction generally removes the fat cells which cannot regenerate so the effect of this surgery is permanent though excessive weight gain may again lead to the generation of fat in the body. The results of liposuction can be seen after three or four months when the healing is complete. In all liposuction is a good technique of removing fat but is not a sure fire technique for weight loss. It should be done only by those individuals who are reasonably fit and not suffering from any ailments.
