Liposuction is a surgical procedure that sculpts your body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, such as your buttocks, thighs, and upper arms. Liposuction (technically lipoplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure that uses a combination of a vacuum and suction to remove fat in problem areas.
