Plastic surgeons can use one of several different types of techniques to perform liposuction surgery. These techniques include dry, wet, tumescent, super-wet, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction (MicroAire) techniques.

It is performed as an outpatient procedure and does not require general anesthesia.
