Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure for sculpting the body by removing body fat from specific parts of the body via suction. Despite being one of the oldest plastic surgery procedures around, modern technologies by brands such as VASER and MicroAire have greatly improved liposuction techniques in terms of both efficiency and safety.
A common misconception is that liposuction can be a replacement for weight loss programmes like dieting and exercising, which is not true. Liposuction is not a cure-all for obesity and should only be considered when other weight-loss measures have failed or are not possible.
