The operation is also known as suction-assisted lipectomy and lipoplasty, It is today the most popular way to get rid of the excess fats from the body.
Liposuction involves the use of a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula. to suck out the fat deposits underlying the layers of your skin.

If the prospect of being the proud owner of a perfect body really tempts you, then be informed about the latest techniques of liposuction described below.
The basic technique of liposuction known as tumescent technique involves suctioning out of the excess fats from your body.

The other techniques of liposuction vary with the different methods of suctioning and the types of instruments used.
In one of the liposuction techniques a special solution is injected in the targeted area of fat removal. This solution makes the fatty tissue to swell and then it suctioned.
The solution is added with a local anesthetic so that the patient does not feel pains at the time of suctioning.
It also contains chemical to temporarily shrink capillaries to prevent blood loss. There are also drugs combined in the solution that works for reducing bruising and post-surgery swelling.
