Liposuction is a procedure during which excess fat is being removed from areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms or calves. It is important to mention that liposuction is not a way of fighting obesity, it does not influence the condition and rigidity of the skin, which is a factor in getting rid of cellulite. The main idea of liposuction is modeling the shape of the body.
Many people are curious how much fat can be taken out during one procedure. It is agreed that no more that 3-4 liters of fat should be removed during a procedure. The procedure itself is not complicated, small incisions are made and a suction device is inserted under the skin in order to penetrate and disrupt the fat structure which is then sucked into a special container.

Liposuction has great results in the areas where the skin is firm and has proper tension. It is the best way of getting rid of the fat in selected area, however is not the best way of losing bodyweight.
Against common misconception, a well performed liposuction is one of the safest plastic surgery procedures. The risk of complication is very low. The results are permanent, however one needs to take into account that things such as smoking, excessive use of alcohol or overexposure to UV rays can lead to the initial results being worsened. Another important factor is keeping your bodyweight in check.
