The history of liposuction dates back in the year 1974 when two surgeons, Dr. Giorgio and Arpad Fisher, from the USA invented the procedure. Liposuction or to be precise, Liposculpture Suction Lipectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat from various human body parts by way of an operation. Lipo, as it is popularly known as, is a suction assisted process of removing body fat. The body parts can range from abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, or even neck. The technique behind the process of liposuction is using a suction device called an aspirator through which the fat is removed via a cannula, a hollow tube which is inserted by way of a small incision in the fat layer. The cost of such a surgery varies depending upon the area operated and other factors, but generally it may cost between $1500 and $3000, the national average is $2,578. The companies offering the services are The Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, Chicago, Dallas Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, New York Liposuction, MiRadiance Aesthetic Medical Center, and many more.
