The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that liposuction was the second most popular surgical procedure in 2007 (behind breast implants). Liposuction is not meant to be a substitute for diet or exercise, but intended for California men and women who desire spot reduction of a specific trouble area.

California plastic surgeons may perform a variety of liposuction techniques including ultrasound-assisted liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, super wet liposuction, and tumescent liposuction.

Several new brand-name devices combine traditional suction with laser or ultrasound technology to provide additional features. Some of these devices include VASER Liposelection, SmartLipo, Cool Lipo, and ProLipo.
