Liposuction in United States

Liposculpture, the art of suction-assisted lipectomy otherwise known as liposuction is a procedure used to improve the bodys contour by removing fat deposits that lie between the skin and muscle. Fat cells are permanently removed from the directed area. As simple as this may seem, this apparent simplicity is deceptive. Liposuction facial and body contouring otherwise known as liposculpture demands from the surgeon not only excellent technical ability but also a particularly acute artistic sense. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight control or exercise, but a method of removing localized fat. The most frequently treated areas in women are the chin, abdomen, thighs, hips, knees, arms, buttocks, calves and ankles. Men typically have liposuction performed on the neck, chin, abdomen, love handles and breasts.

Liposuction, lipoetching and liposculpting are basically one and the same procedure in which fat is removed from the body by means of thin tubes or cannulas, which are in turn attached to a vacuum-creating device by means of tubing.
