Liposuction is most effective for removing specific fat deposits that do not respond to dieting or exercising. Liposuction is not used as a substitute for weight loss, but rather is a contouring procedure. As it turns out, weight loss generally comes about as a result of liposuction, but it is not the purpose of liposuction. Liposuction produces the best results when combined with a regimen of healthy nutrition and exercise. Liposuction, also has many health-related applications and has been used effectively to treat non-cosmetic conditions, such as excessive sweating and non-cosmetic fat accumulation, such as lipomas (benign fatty tumors) and gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts).
