Liposuction is the removal of fat deposits by suction-assisted lipectomy to contour the body. Most surgeons prefer to inject a solution known as tumescence, containing 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in saline. The solution plumps up the fat cells, firms the surface, and reduces blood loss.
