Answer

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes stubborn, localized fat deposits from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, chin, or neck using a suction technique. It is performed for body contouring and shaping rather than for weight loss. 

Key details about liposuction: 

Procedure: A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to break up and suction out fat cells.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals near their ideal weight with firm skin and localized fat deposits.

Common Techniques: Tumescent, ultrasound-assisted (UAL), and laser-assisted (LAL) liposuction.

Recovery: Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; light activities resume within days.

Results: Removed fat cells are permanent, but weight gain can affect remaining fat cells.
