Clinical Applications of Liposuction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adipose Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

Liposuction was devised as a means of removing fat from the body for cosmetic purposes safely and using small incisions. The procedure was improved over the years with the addition of syringe liposuction, local tumescent anesthesia, establishment of limits to the amounts of lidocaine, and the addition of instruments being used. There followed high-volume removal of fat for the obese patient that also lessened the amounts of medication necessary to control diabetes and heart disease. Non-cosmetic applications of liposuction were ultimately devised. These are discussed in detail.
