Liposuction Liposuction reduces the fat volume in problem areas that make patients uncomfortable about the way they look. This is a more intense procedure as it takes more fat from different areas of the body and not just one location. This can include love handles, midriff, buttocks, thighs, and so on. Small incisions are made by the cosmetic surgeon in order to remove the excess fat from the troubled areas.
