Liposuction or fat removal surgery is a surgical procedure intended to remove excess fat deposits from different areas of the body and reshape it. Using one or two puncture points of 3 to 10 millimetres max (thus no real scars) fat is removed from under the skin with the use of a vacuum-suction canula ,which is a hollow pen –like instrument or tube used to draw off fluids.
When liposuction procedure is performed, the fat cells never regenerate so the minimal fat that remains after this procedure will maintain its mass at that level forever. The results therefore are definite and permanent.
Liposuction surgery may be performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back, neck or face. It can also include more than one area, for instance, the abdomen, back and thighs on the same day.
Liposuction or fat removal surgery is not used to treat cellulite, whose origin remains unidentified; it is rather a separate case from excess fat although it is associated with the same area sometimes.

It is pointed precisely at the fat deposit areas without decreasing the skin. Although liposuction is a procedure for reshaping the body and is not recommended for weight loss, it is often taken as a first step to maintain a slim figure.
The results vary according to the age of the patient. It is often more visible with a young and more flexible skin.
