Get Beyond the Myths of Liposuction Cosmetic Procedures
There are a number of misconceptions surrounding liposuction, including the myth that this is done to reduce the weight of an individual. Liposuction is actually a sculpting procedure that is often used in conjunction with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or breast reduction, and is used to remove fatty deposits from areas of the body that are not responding to non-surgical techniques. There are a number of areas on the body that are commonly sculpted by a cosmetic surgeon using liposuction. For women, the stomach and thighs are popular while men often complete the procedure on their back and waist.
Who is an ideal candidate for liposuction?
A number of people can benefit from the liposuction procedure. Patients who recently lost weight but are having problems reducing built up fatty deposits in specific areas of their body are some of the most common candidates. Others who can also benefit from the use of liposuction are women who have had children and have been left with problem areas they are struggling to return to their pre-pregnancy size and shape.
Work with a board-certified surgeon
It’s important to make sure the cosmetic surgeon completing the liposuction procedure is board-certified and has experience in completing this procedure. During the initial meetings with a cosmetic surgeon it is important to ask questions about their experience and make sure you feel comfortable before undertaking the procedure. The decision to complete this form of cosmetic surgery should be done after a period of thought and reflection. Diet and exercise should be undertaken until only small areas remain with fatty deposits that can be helped with the completion of the liposuction procedure.
