title: Sequential (serial) suction.
abstract: As the popularity of liposuction continues to increase, so have the variety of methods available to perform the procedure. One factor that remains the same regardless of how liposuction is performed is that there will always be a limit to how much fat can be removed in a single sitting. When amounts to be removed exceed safe quantities, serial suction offers a safe and effective approach to achieve the desired result.
