What is Liposuction?

Excerpts from The Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery web site on a liposuction procedure:
"...Simply put, liposuction is an outpatient operation that removes pockets of fat. It works by suctioning out fat, like vacuum cleaner takes dirt out of a carpet...."
"...Liposuction is not meant for losing weight. It is not safe to remove large amounts of fat during the liposuction procedure. However, it is perfect for contouring parts of the body and for removing a particular area of fat that just won’t go away."
