liposuction

Surgical fat removal

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes fat from the body by suction.

A thin tube inserted through small incisions vacuums out fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or chin.

The procedure reshapes contours rather than producing significant weight loss: She had liposuction on her love handles.
