Liposuction or lipo is the process of removing fat cells from the areas of the body that contain excess fat with the help of various tools without making any incisions, but by suction holes. Liposuction surgery is planned in different ways in men and women. In women, more curved lines and smooth transitions are applied. In men however, it is aimed to increase the appearance of the muscles and achieve a more masculine appearance.
