According to the reports from 2022-2023, liposuction has become the most popular cosmetic surgery in the world.
CNN reported that, according to newly released data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), liposuction has overtaken br**st augmentation as the world’s most popular cosmetic surgery.
About 14.8% of liposuction was performed worldwide, while br**st augmentation was just over 13%. The result came amid growing concern about the implants’ links to cancer.
What Is A Liposuction?
Liposuction is a procedure to remove unwanted fat from different parts of the body. Generally, it helps to suck fat out of the stubborn body parts that are hard to lose even after exercise and a healthy diet.
It can be performed on body parts such as hips, buttocks, tummy, cheeks, chin, arms, ankles, abdomen, neck, knees, upper arms, waist, and thighs. Its primary goal is to change body shape without requiring any complicated surgery or implants.
Liposuction has been found to be effective in treating lipedema.
As per the reports, liposuction is not normally available on the NHS; however, it can be used to treat a few health conditions, such as lymphoedema and lipoedema.
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that causes swollen body organs, mostly in the arms and legs.
Similarly, lipoedema is also a chronic condition where there is an abnormal buildup of fat cells in the thighs, buttocks, arms, and legs.

Depending on the area and number of body parts treated, the cost of a surgeon, the difficulty of the procedure, the location, the cost of the facility, the anesthesiologist, and supplies, the cost can range from $1,000 to more than $20,000 or more.
Some surgeons also offer all-inclusive packages for liposuction, while others charge for the procedure and add additional fees as needed.
