This procedure is know as liposuction, fat suction, suction lipectomy, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound assisted Lipoplasty or power assisted liposuction. It is a technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including the face, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs; and the knees, calves and ankles. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method of removing localized fat that doesn't respond to dieting and exercise.

Women may have liposuction performed under the chin, on their hips,
thighs, and stomach, and and in the upper arms and breast area.
Other areas include the upper back and flank regions.

For men, common sites include under the chin and around the waist.
Liposuction may also be used in the reduction of enlarged male breasts,
a condition known as Gynecomastia.
