When liposuction is portrayed in movies or comics, it is usually exaggerated, often in such a way as to be revolting in a humorous way.
* In the movie Date Movie, the initially obese heroine is slimmed down by liposuction. Dozens of pounds of liquid fat resembling melted butter in appearance are being shown vacuumed from her body and stored in a tank labelled "Worst Foods Mayonnaise".
* In the novel and movie Fight Club, the protagonists produce soap from liposuctioned human fat.
* In the South Park episode Jared Has Aides, the boys try to fatten up Butters and then liposuction him so they can get a marketing deal at a local restaurant.
* In Dirty Sanchez: The Movie, Michael Locke (Pancho) undergoes a liposuction procedure without anaesthetic in Bangkok, Thailand, and, as a result of a dare between the protagonists, Dan Joyce drinks the suctioned fat from Pancho's procedure.
* In an episode of The Animaniacs, one of the characters is seen vacuuming fat from Roger Ebert's belly and rerouting it in order to use it as butter on the movie critic's popcorn.
