Is Liposuction Right For You?

As we get older, metabolism changes tend to cause a redistribution of body fat, which often develop into fat deposits. Even following a healthy lifestyle often doesn’t completely eliminate these stubborn pockets of fat. A popular procedure that effectively slims down the contours of the body and provides a more attractive appearance is liposuction. Through this type of treatment, patients typically feel confident about wearing more form-fitting clothing and summer attire.

Liposuction can be safely and effectively performed on many areas of the body, including:

Abdomen          Arms

Hips                   Back

Buttocks           Cheeks

Thighs               Neck

How Does it Work?

Liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure, meaning the incisions made during surgery are very minor. This ensures scarring will be minimal and hardly noticeable. Liposuction involves placing a cannula (thin hollow tube) through tiny incisions on the body. Once the cannula is under the skin and in contact with fat cells, a vacuum device is used to permanently suction out fat from that specific region of the body. After the desired amount of fat is removed the body, the incisions are closed.

Is it Right for Me?

Most people who are at a normal weight with firm skin are candidates for liposuction, but it is important to understand that the procedure is not viewed as a form of weight loss. Generally, individuals should already be at or close to their ideal body weight in order to see the most optimal results. It is also recommended that potential patients have already attempted a combination of dieting and exercising to lose unwanted areas of fat before choosing liposuction. Although liposuction provides very satisfactory results, it is important that patients have realistic expectations about the outcome of their procedure.
