Just sick shit :: surgeries, Liposuction, said to be the most popular cosmetic surgery in the US according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Here is a very graphic liposuction surgery video. This cosmetic surgery procedure is not gentle at all and the giant needle used to suck out the body fat is just horrific. It seems almost weekly there is a news story about someone dying on the operating room table or a short time after getting liposuction. Kanye West’s mom, comes to mind, as she too had liposuction and
some other cosmetic surgeries performed.

Liposuction involves inserting a needle through the skin and drawing out some of the underlying fat. It is being done to add definition and most surgeons do not condone using liposuction for weight loss. Many surgeons now even require the patient first lose weight before liposuction is performed if the patient is very overweight.

I had an overweight friend who went to a few different cosmetic surgeons trying to get lipo and a tummy tuck, she was refused by all until she lost weight naturally (she was really overweight, maybe by 50lbs.).

Liposuction is the most popular form of cosmetic surgery in the United States,

The 403,684 liposuction procedures performed on Americans in 2006 represent a 128% increase over the number performed in 1997. Interestingly, this same procedure—during the same year—was the top cosmetic surgery performed on men in the United States. In addition, the 383,885 liposuction procedures performed on U.S. women ranked second only to breast augmentation.

The FDA has this to say about liposuction:

• Liposuction is intended only for body contouring. It is not intended as a means of weight loss.
• During liposuction, body fat is removed from under the skin with the use of vacuum suction—either with a hollow pen-like instrument called a “canula,” or an ultrasonic probe that breaks fat up into small pieces and then removes it.
• While physicians may perform liposuction on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back, neck, or face, it has never been cleared for use on the neck or face.
• Liposuction is also used in medical procedures such as reduction of mens’ breast size and removing fat tumors .
