Procedure for removal of subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese people using a suction pump device.
The surgical removal of fatty tissue for cosmetic reasons.
A surgery that uses a suction device to permanently remove unwanted deposits of fat tissue and reshape specific body parts. Liposuction can be performed on the abdomen and waist, hips, buttocks, back, chest, neck, chin, and cheeks. The procedure works best on healthy individuals with normal body weight, firm skin, and pockets of excess fat.
A surgical procedure, also called suction lipectomy, for extracting unwanted accumulations of subcutaneous fat by the use of a powerful suction tube passed through the skin at different sites. Widely used in cosmetic surgery to improve the contour of the body, particularly that of women, the technique can have unwanted side-effects.
The removal of subcutaneous fat tissue with a blunt-tipped cannula introduced into the fatty area through a small incision. Suction is then applied and fat tissue removed. Liposuction is a form of plastic surgery intended to remove adipose tissue from localized areas of fat accumulation as on the hips, knees, buttocks, thighs, face, arms, or neck. To be cosmetically successful, the skin should be elastic enough to contract after the underlying fat has been removed. Liposuction will not benefit dimpled or sagging skin or flabby muscles. There are no health benefits to liposuction, and as with any surgery there may be risks such as infection, severe postoperative pain, cardiac arrhythmias, shock, and even death. There is also the possibility the results will be unsatisfactory to the patient.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which fat is removed/suctioned from selected parts of the body.
