http://www.almotamar.net صحيفة إلكترونية يومية تصدر عن حزب المؤتمر الشعبي العام (اليمن) http://www.almotamar.net/1357.htm 2006-10-29 The fashion world has decreed that there is no room for flabby abs, bulgy thighs, or love handles. In response, droves of average citizens with a little extra flesh here and there are turning to liposuction. Liposuction is the surgical "vacuuming" of fat from beneath the surface of the skin. A special fat extractor (a thin hollow stainless steel tube) or cannula is inserted into the fatty areas between the skin and muscle through small incisions in the skin. The extractor creates tiny tunnels, breaks up the fat cells, and loosens them so they can be removed by a high pressure vacuum attached to the end of the cannula.
