Liposculpture or liposuction involves removal of fat through small incisions. It is particularly useful for removing stubborn areas of fat that persist after weight loss, for example in the thigh and hip regions. It can be used to contour the body into a more feminine or more masculine shape. Liposuction is also used to treat men with excessive breast tissue (gynaecomastia).

The benefits of liposuction will be maintained as long there is not general weight gain following the operation.
