Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove fat deposits through suction. It targets areas of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise like the abdomen, thighs, and face. There are different techniques like tumescent, ultrasound-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. The procedure involves making small incisions and inserting a thin tube to suction out fat deposits. Recovery time varies based on the complexity but is usually between 30 minutes to 3 hours. While liposuction removes fat, it does not address obesity or related health issues like diet and exercise can.
