Like many folks with a few pounds to lose, I’ve occasionally pondered what it would be like to have liposuction. But looking at a warm and fuzzy print advertisement for liposuction is one thing. Watching an actual liposuction procedure on one of the endless stream of reality television shows? That’s always enough to dispel any thoughts I might have. New technology poses the question: is it possible to gain the benefits of liposuction without the suction?

I know that I’m not the only one who gets squeamish at the thought of invasive surgery (like liposuction) to remove fat.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) says the liposuction procedure improves “body shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device.”

Eeeek. Like Stymie said, “it may have choked Artie, but it ain’t gunna choke Stymie…” [Liposuction Without the Suction?, continued]
