Liposuction surgery removes excess fat from a particular area of body e.g., tummy, waist, thigh, in an otherwise mild to moderate obese person. Thus it tries to give a balanced figure to the person. Generally, one session of liposuction can remove about 3 to 6 Litre of fat, but improvement in contour is remarkable.

Liposuction gives best result in persons who are young and have a good elastic skin and taught muscles.
