Liposuction, the Epoch Procedure

Liposuction is considered to be one of the most popular surgical procedures in the world. It consists of removing subcutaneous fat from specific parts of the body using a medical pump that creates negative pressure and a special thin cannula inserted into the fat tissue. Nowadays, it is a relatively safe procedure, but it was not always this way. Improving liposuction methods, their effectiveness, and reducing the risk of posttreatment complications are the result of aquired experience and knowledge based on practical activities over the years.
