What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of fat deposits in the body through the use of suction. Fat is broken up and vacuumed out of the body through a tube known as a cannula. If you have reached your ideal body weight, but have pesky, trouble spots that won’t go away, liposuction from a board-certified cosmetic surgeon could be the solution for you. When diet and exercise won’t erase all of the fat from your body, liposuction can help.
Liposuction is generally used to remove excess fat deposits in the abdomen, around the waist, on the thighs, the buttocks, the upper arms, the hips, and the chest. It is not recommended to get rid of cellulite. Whether you need to concentrate on one area or have several problem spots, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon can help you to improve your body image through liposuction.
Important: What you NEED to know about liposuction
Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. If you are planning on losing a significant amount of weight, you should not consider liposuction until you have reached your goal weight. If you are planning on becoming pregnant, you should consider waiting until you are done having children. Your body shape will change with each pregnancy and new deposits of fat are likely to accumulate.
If you are in good health, don’t smoke, have no underlying health issues, and you are at your ideal weight, liposuction can be an excellent solution to finding a figure you’ll love.
What can I expect during this cosmetic procedure?
During the liposuction procedure, you will be given anesthesia. Your surgeon will recommend the best type of anesthesia for your procedure. Incisions will be made in the area that is going to be treated. More anesthesia is injected into the area and the cannula is inserted into the incision. It will dislodge excess fat and suction will remove the deposits. Your incisions will be closed and you will be sent home the same day. As soon as any swelling has gone down, you will be able to see the new, enhanced contours of your body. You will need to be diligent about your diet and exercise in order to maintain the figure you arrived at with liposuction.
