Liposuction was first introduced to the United States in 1982. Liposuction is basically never a necessity to have done. Liposuction is performed on both men and women. The body parts that it is most commonly performed on include the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, ankles, chin, breasts, "love handles," and neck.

Although liposuction is thought of to be such a safe procedure, there are many harmful things that can occur. . Unfortunately, the serious complications that liposuction can have are underreported. There are many people who have died due to the effects that liposuction had on them. There is one case where a forty eight year old woman actually died after having what is thought to be simple procedure done. After about the second day after she had liposuction done to her neck and abdomen she experienced a fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and then a foul smelling odor began to discharge from a trocar in the lower part of her abdomen. By the fourth day when a home health care nurse went to see how she was doing, she found her patient lying in a pool of diarrhea.
