Liposuction can be performed with general anesthesia. Your doctor makes one or more small holes in the area to be treated and injects a mixture of saline (salt water) and local anesthesia. This injected fluid causes the fat to swell, harden and become easier to remove. Then, the fat tissue is accessed by entering the cannula through the same incision. The broken fats are pulled out by vacuum.

Liposuction is the fastest way to permanently destroy stubborn fat tissues. A very large amount of fat tissue can be removed in a single session. Additionally, if there are other areas of your body that you want to add fullness (such as the breast), these fats can be transferred to that area to bring your body into the shape you desire.
