Exactly how is liposuction performed? What are the risks? And about how much does it cost?

We all know about liposuction but I've never really known how it is performed and how exactly it really "works" so to speak. What are the risks associated with it? And what are the chances that a complication would occur? And about how much does liposuction cost?

Liposuction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

yucky, havent ya seen it on tv. Makes ya feel sick, Gross, dont doit.
Liposuction costs thousands of dollars... and basically the doctors suck out your fat with a vacuum type tube... and there are risks... you can have permanent nerve damage... and if the vacuum accidently sucks something other than pure fat, your body can go into shock...and I think complications happen more than they don't happen...but don't quote me on that.
I saw something about liposuction on TV a while ago.
i agree with the answers about the cost of lipo, and the one that explains some risks of it, but that isn't all. another risk, in stomach lipo, is that if the doc slipped in the slightest, he could punture a lung. they're well-trained so that one doesn't worry me as much as the fact that when you have fat sucked out of an area, if you ever gain any weight, the fat can't go back to the places they sucked the pockets out so the fat has to go to weird places like ankles, wrists, back, knees etc.. anywhere near the original lipo, it gets deposited
