Advances in Liposuction Make This a Safer Procedure Than Ever Before
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that extracts fat from multiple sites on the human body. At times, it can be used in conjunction with the fat transfer procedure to enhance the volume and fullness with your own fat rather than synthetic materials. It is a safe procedure as only a limited amount of fat is removed per session. The specific amount removed is pre-determined by both the patient and the surgeon. More fat can be removed thanks to 30 years of progress with liposuction procedures. Liposuction involves little discomfort, minimal blood loss and very little risk.
What to know about liposuction before your procedure
Liposuction is popular with both men and women. Requirements for the procedure necessitate candidates to be:
over the age of 18
be in acceptable health
exercise and diet on a regular basis
and have areas of significant fat accumulated in certain body sites.
Older patients with diseases like diabetes and those with heart/circulation issues may not be eligible for the procedure. The reason why the elderly are not eligible for liposuction is that their skin lacks the elasticity necessary to remove fat. Those who want to combine a tummy tuck with liposuction will not be allowed to have the procedure performed either, as there is an increased risk of complications.
Who is an ideal candidate for our liposuction procedure
Anyone who wants to eliminate fat from specific body areas should consider liposuction. Liposuction is ideal for people who can’t achieve the desired fitness results from diet and exercise. The procedure is quick and takes little effort on the patient’s behalf compared to the time and determination that is necessary to shed significant weight through challenging exercise and diet. It makes life a lot easier, both in terms of feeling comfortable and looking good.
Choosing a qualified liposuction surgeon who’s perfect for your needs
Once you’ve determined that liposuction is right for you, you should focus on carefully choosing a liposuction surgeon who is experienced, skilled and reputable. The truth is that not every cosmetic surgeon is experienced in liposuction. Choose a surgeon who has a reputation for being ethical and safe. Cosmetic surgeons who are board certified will have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to perform a safe liposuction procedure.
