Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from specific areas of the body using a vacuum method, such as the belly, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck. Liposuction contours (shapes) these areas as well.

The skin responds to the changing shapes of the treated areas after liposuction. The skin will appear smooth if you have a good skin tone and suppleness. However, if your skin is thin and brittle, the skin in the treated regions may appear loose.
