The procedure involves the removal of fat and reshaping the area. It is performed in several stages. The first involves injecting the fat tissue with an anesthetic solution, followed by tunneling and the elimination (suction) of fat cells damaged during the procedure.
A single procedure can safely remove 3.5 liters of fat. Liposuction is performed under both local and general anesthesia. The procedure is not a treatment for obesity, but rather a method for sculpting specific body parts. It can be combined with other surgical procedures.
