Liposuction is a plastic surgery technique to remove unwanted deposits of fat from specific areas of the body, including the face and neck, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and the knees.
*Tummy tucks and liposuction are not surgical treatments for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.
