Liposuction or Lipoplasty (“fat modeling”) is a cosmetic surgery operation used to remove excess fat from many different sites of the human body. The affected areas normally include abdomen, thighs and buttocks. It can also be performed on neck or back of the arms.

Apart from the cosmetological applications, liposuction gives health benefits as well. By reducing the body fat, it helps reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and even certain types of cancer. Liposuction also benefits those in need of breast reduction.
