Aspiration Lipectomy

Aspiration lipectomy, also known as liposuction, is a surgical procedure for removing fatty tissue. Fat is suctioned through fine cannulas, often after prior loosening or liquefaction, for example using tumescent solution or radiofrequency. Aspiration lipectomy is not a method for weight reduction. It serves to improve contours or treat pathological fat distribution disorders such as lipedema. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, or chin.
