Liposuction. Image 4 of 15. Surgeon cutting an access hole for liposuction surgery on the hips of a middle-aged man. The area has been anaesthetised with a local anaesthetic. Liposuction is a procedure that uses a vacuum pump to remove excess fat and sculpt the body. As with all surgery there is a risk of infection, excess bleeding and other complications. For a sequence showing liposuction surgery see M590/339 to M590/353.
