Liposuction Alternatives - What Are the Options?

I was thinking about getting lipo done on my stomach and back, but I made the mistake of watching a liposuction procedure on one of those educational TV shows, and now I'm scared.  All that hacking around and suctioning under the skin looked really risky and painful.  Are there any alternatives to liposuction that will help me get rid of fat in those tricky areas?
