Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove unwanted fat cells. It is important to note that this is not a bariatric surgery. It is a procedure suitable for individuals at a healthy and stable weight who seek additional help in refining their body contours. Sometimes, certain areas of stubborn fat in our bodies seem resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction sucks out these fat cells using a medical suction pump.
