This document discusses liposuction, including myths and facts about the procedure. Liposuction is a popular procedure that uses a cannula to remove excess fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. There are several techniques for liposuction including standard, power-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, and laser-assisted. The most common areas treated are the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, chest, and chin/neck areas. While liposuction is commonly thought to only be for women, myths dispelled include that men also receive the procedure. Additionally, liposuction is an option for those within 30% of their ideal weight and affordable financing options are available.
