How is buttocks Liposuction performed?
Before buttock Liposuction surgery, the plastic surgeon will mark the precise areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm to make sure the fluid level in your body remains in balance. You or your doctor may opt for general anesthesia, or you may be local anesthesia and a sedative for relaxation. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the skin, typically in or near the buttock crease, and inserts a thin tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula is used to break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired proportions. The unwanted fat is suctioned out with a powerful vacuum, leaving the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact.
