	Liposuction - Cost Surgery and Information
		Liposuction surgery is a technique that involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane).
		Liposuction may also be called "liposculpture", "suction assisted lipolysis," "fat suctioning" and "fat sucking." Localized accumulations of fat, which are often inherited and frequently impossible to eliminate by exercise or dieting, can now be removed permanently by liposuction surgery.
		Liposuction surgery is not meant to change a size 16 to a size 8.

	Lipoplasty or Liposuction
		Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured.
		Liposuction may be performed in a surgeon's office-based facility, in an outpatient surgery center, or in a hospital.

	Liposuction
		Super-wet or wet liposuction: the instillation of a ration of 1 or 1.5:1 of salt solution and dilute adrenaline into the fat compared to the total amount of fat and fluid to be removed, prior to beginning suction.
		Small liposuction procedures, such as removal of a small amount of residual fat after a major procedure or minor removal of fat around the abdomen or hips, are reasonable to do in a well-equipped office surgical suite.
		If after a liposuction procedure on the abdomen or flanks, abdominal pain, nausea and/or dizziness and weakness is noted, the matter must be brought to the attention of the attending surgeon and the possibility of abdominal perforation must be ruled out.

		Liposuction is the permanent removal of fat using a suction technique.
		Liposuction is frequently combined with other operations, such as facelifts, breast reductions, tummy tucks, and a variety of reconstructive procedures, to maximize their effect.
		Men are often excellent candidates for liposuction, since the increased thickness of their skin and subcutaneous tissue (the fibrous tissue and fat that are right under the skin) helps the skin to redrape while decreasing the likelihood of post-operative contour irregularities.

	eMedicine - Liposuction, Thigh and Knee : Article by John A Grossman, MD
		Prior to liposuction, surgically shaping the thigh amounted to a surgical procedure in which a large lateral elliptical wedge of skin and fat was removed from the upper outer thigh (saddlebag region) and the tissues brought together to improve the contour somewhat at the cost of a rather unpleasant scar.
		The minimum measurement acceptable for liposuction is felt to be 3 cm for the outer, anterior, and posterior thigh and knee and 2 cm for the upper inner thigh.
		The author prefers the patient in a prone position for liposuction of the posterior thigh, saddlebag, hip roll, banana roll, upper and lower medial thigh, and medial knee, followed by the supine and frog-leg position for the remainder of the inner thigh and knee, as well as the anterior thigh and anterior knee.
