BACKGROUND
Areas amenable to liposuction are identified by a variety of terms. Both common and professional language is used.


OBJECTIVE
This manuscript identifies colloquial terms for these body areas and suggests a standardized nomenclature.


RESULTS
Physicians need to be aware of the lay terms so they can communicate with their patients. The careful use of a standardized vocabulary provides precision and accuracy.
