Buttocks liposuction involves the removal of fat from the buttocks area. The procedure is performed by first making an incision and then flushing the area with a saline solution and a local anesthetic (the tumescent technique). This contracts the skin and the blood vessels, allowing the fat deposits to be aspirated.
Also Known As:
