Abstract
Liposuction is the most commonly used procedure for focal reduction of body fat deposits and remodeling the body contour. The procedure consists in aspirating fat from lamellar deposits using a vacuum source connected to a cannula that is passed bluntly through fatty tissue. Adjuncts to the procedure include infiltration of solutions to aid in fat removal or to limit blood loss and the application of ultrasonic energy to lyse fat cells before suction aspiration. Surgical history, theory, procedures, indications, potential complications, and guidelines are discussed herein.
