What does liposuction mean (fat removal with a vacuum)?

Liposuction removes fats by applying negative pressure to the body with the help of thin cannulas (2 to 4 mm) that are inserted through a small hole. To make it easier to aspirate the fat with the cannulas, a serum to dissolve fat tissue is injected into the area where the fat is to be removed, which also reduces bleeding. This means that fats are easily extracted from the body. Sometimes, in order to dissolve before the fats are taken, shredding can be done with cannulas that apply ultrasound, laser or vibration.
