Refinements in the technique of liposuction

While liposuction can be used to change the contour of practically the entire body, it has limitations. Because of the nature of the technique employed during the procedure, it also has a certain inherent possibility for complications. One hopes to avoid these by using sound judgment in choosing patients and by employing prudence and good technique during surgery. In addition, the surgeon's artistry is of paramount importance; one truly performs plastic (plastikos = to mold) surgery when resculpturing a patient's body.
