What happens during the surgery, and how is the surgery performed?
During liposuction, fat deposits are removed in order to recontour one or multiple areas of the body. A small (ΒΌ inch) incision is made and a narrow tube (cannula) is inserted which is used to vacuum the fat deposits beneath the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth breaking up fat deposits, which are vacuumed out by a large syringe or vacuum pump.
