title: [Liposuction].
abstract: Liposuction is a frequently applied technique in aesthetic plastic surgery, with which subcutaneous adipose tissue can be removed. In recent decades new techniques of liposuction were developed. This led to better results and fewer complications. Liposuction is indicated as symptomatic treatment of obesity and (or) lipomas. Liposuction is not without risks; patients have to be informed of practical consequences and possible complications of the technique.
