Plastic surgery statistics reported in 2007 by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons revealed that liposuction was second only to breast implants in popularity. Liposuction is not meant to be a substitute for diet or exercise, but intended for Anchorage patients who desire reduction of a specific trouble area. Plastic surgeons in the Anchorage area may be trained in several different liposuction techniques including power-assisted liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, super wet liposuction, and tumescent liposuction.

Brand-name liposuction devices recently introduced by the popular media offer a combination of traditional suction with laser or ultrasound technology, including SmartLipo, VASER Liposelection, Cool Lipo, and ProLipo.

For people who have excessive skin laxity, liposuction may not be the proper surgery. Since liposuction only targets extra fat, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be more appropriate for those who also need a reduction of excess skin.
