Liposuction can create an improved body shape, and has become a much safer procedure due to advances in medical science. It works best on people with firm, elastic skin, who have stubborn areas of fat in specific parts of the body.
Usually performed under general anaesthetic, although occasionally done under local, the surgeon inserts a hollow tube through small incisions around the area, while keeping the skin connected to underlying tissue and muscles. This tube is used to break up the fat under the skin, and the fat is then sucked out, either using a large syringe or a vacuum pump.
