Patient #4159 - Liposuction

Through tiny little openings in the skin, a small tube (cannula) is inserted into the fat and it is suctioned out. Because the fat cells live in small clusters separated by their tissue, Dr. Gurley will often dissolve this tissue before sucking out the fat to help keep the area smooth. The goal of liposuction is to remove fat in areas where there is too much and leave it in areas where it is needed.
