Liposuction.

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure worldwide. It provides effective contouring of the torso, extremities, and submental areas in properly selected patients. Tumescent liposuction, a local anesthesia technique, and superwet liposuction, a systemic anesthesia technique, are the most common methods. The safety profile of both methods is excellent, but local anesthesia avoids the specific risks associated with general anesthesia. The most common complications of liposuction are contour irregularities and transient bruising. No technology seems to provide superior results over conventional methods.
