Liposuction can be very effective in eliminating collections of fat in various parts of the body. The most common areas for liposuction are the thighs, abdomen and “love handles.” but it’s not very effective when it comes to treating cellulite. It may worsen the ‘orange peel’ appearance. Liposuction is really not a good technique for weight loss either. What liposuction is best used for is to remove fatty deposits in specific areas of your body that won’t go away, even after you try your hardest to get rid of them through diet and exercise.
Liposuction helps contour localized fat, not loose skin. In the abdominal region, redundant skin and fat are better addressed with abdominoplasty contouring. Liposuction can be performed alone or in conjunction with another plastic surgery procedure, such as tummy tuck , buttock lift , arm lift , neck lift , or facelift . Lipoplasty may be the perfect solution for you if you have a fatty pocket that just doesn’t seem to be responsive to diet and exercise. Liposuction cost can vary depending on the extent of the surgery.
Liposuction cannot replace exercise and a good diet, but it can allow you to address “problem areas”, which often times cannot be address through either exercise or diet alone. Liposuction has the best results with candidates whom exercise regularly and are close to their ideal body weight. Individuals with certain medical problems will have a greater risk for liposuction complications. Liposuction involves possible risks, problems, and complications. To minimize these risks, patients may research which procedures are safest and choose an experienced liposuction surgeon.
Liposuction improves the appearance of body areas that have concentrated amounts of visible fat. Through a vacuum-like process, the fat is removed, creating a smoother, more attractive body contour and better self image. Liposuction surgeons with the most training are the board-certified plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Use the surgeon profiles in the Liposuction Surgeon Directory to contact surgeons by email or telephone with your questions, and to arrange a personal plastic surgery consultation.
Liposuction is usually done as a day case. The operation is usually carried out under a general anaesthetic. Liposuction is one of the safest cosmetic surgeries available today. However, being that it is surgery, it has its own risks and contraindications. Lipodissolve or Lipo-Mesotherapy is one of the most successful non-surgical solutions, developed by a doctor, to reduce fat in specific areas. Special medications are injected directly to the areas being treated to dissolve fat and inches in a short time, producing dramatic results.
