Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is performed using small incisions and a vacuum device to suction out fat cells from areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, back, neck, breasts, chin, and bra line. Good candidates are generally healthy individuals within 30 pounds of their ideal weight who have pockets of excess fat. The procedure involves administering anesthesia, making small incisions, inserting a cannula to suction out fat, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Recovery involves wearing compression garments for 4 weeks and light exercise after 4 weeks, with results visible after 4-6 weeks. The average cost of liposuction is around $
