LiposuctionLiposuction is a cosmetic surgery that can remove stubborn excess fat in areas that dieting and exercise fail to address. Generally, fat is removed with a small hollow tube called a cannula. Depending on your goals and body type, your liposuction technique can be customized to suit your needs. Consulting first with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Michael Sundine will help you clarify your exact goals and expectations. The doctor will also be able to examine your body type and make a recommendation for the right liposuction technique. The most common method is suction-assisted liposuction, or SAL. SAL involves moving the cannula carefully through the fat layers and suctioning them out.
