Question

What does liposuction do? And why is a thing?

Answer 1

Answer:

The procedure may be performed under general, regional, or local anesthesia. It involves using a cannula and negative pressure to suck out fat. As a cosmetic procedure it is believed to work best on people with a normal weight and good skin elasticity.

While the suctioned fat cells are permanently gone, after a few months overall body fat generally returns to the same level as before treatment.This is despite maintaining the previous diet and exercise regimen. While the fat returns somewhat to the treated area, most of the increased fat occurs in the abdominal area. Visceral fat ⁠— ⁠the fat surrounding the internal organs ⁠— ⁠increases, and this condition has been linked to life-shortening diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.

Answer 2

Liposuction removes the subcutaneous fat layer (fat just under the skin) in parts of the body that are notoriously and stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise
