Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can eliminate unwanted subcutaneous fat on your face, neck and body. This surgical technique removes localised collections of fatty tissue that lie just underneath the skin (subcutaneous adipose tissue) from your body. Small incisions are made to allow for the insertion of an aspiration cannula in order to suction fat cells out of the body. This procedure reduces fat cell count through suction as well as controlled cellular damage using heat. This damage is caused by moving the cannula within the fat deposits which breaking them down. The fat is then removed via lipo-suctioning. Patients should expect to wait for several weeks before the full benefits of their treatment become apparent due to swelling from the nature of the procedure.
