Liposuction
Liposuction, or simply lipo, is a cosmetic surgical procedure which removes excess fat from different parts of the body in order to improve its contour. The safety of its procedure relates not only to the amount fats removed but also the anesthetic choice and to the patient's overall health condition.

What are some synopsis of lipsuction?
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that is meant to remove unwanted/unnecessary deposits of fat-cells. Liposuction is not meant to permanently prevent a person from gaining weight (as is common with LapBand weight-loss surgery), however to remove the previously accumulated deposits. The Surgeon will remove the fat by using a suction assisted wand which will suck the fat cells out. This wand can have a few types of tips to assist with the procedure and protect the patient from unnecessary trauma. One tip uses ultrasonic vibrations to "shake" the fat loose, once uses a laser to "melt the fat" and another uses a water-jet tip to "blast" the fat free. Overall the procedure is getting much safer and less traumatic, however recovery time can take several months for a full recovery.
