Liposuction Facts
Matt Shupe
Liposuction is a surgical procedure which allows a surgeon to
go into your body to remove extra fat deposits and to shape or
reshape your body. The excess fat is removed by going under the
skin with an ultrasonic probe which will then emulsify the fat
and it will be removed with the suction.
Liposuction is not just for the stomach and abdominal area. You
are able to get liposuction on many areas of your body
including; your hips area, neck, butt, arms, calves, face, or
back. You also have the option of getting liposuction done on
more than one area at the same time. For example, you could get
liposuction on your stomach, back, and arms in the same day.
More men have started to opt into getting liposuction done
also. The most common area for men is the chest area to reduce
breast size or to remove lipomas, or fat tumors. However,
please note than liposuction is not an alternative to a healthy
diet and exercise plan. Liposuction only helps to remove the
areas of fat that have not responded to a traditional
weight-loss method.
Liposuction can be performed by plastic surgeons or by
dermatologists, although any authorized physician can perform
liposuction. Most physicians’ professional associations highly
recommend training for liposuction, even though no standardized
training is mandatory.
Always make sure to ask whether or not your doctor has had
specialized training in liposuction and have had success with
it in the past. However, there is always the chance of the
liposuction procedure having complications. This surgery is a
bigger risk for those who have medical conditions like heart
disease, lung disease, poor blood circulation, diabetes or who
have had surgery recently. Inform your doctor of any medical
conditions you might have.
Liposuction surgery has helped many people transition into a
healthier lifestyle easier and has also helped to raise the
self-esteem and well-being in those individuals also.
Liposuction is the permanent removal of fat. This procedure is
recommended only to those who are obese (excessively
overweight), as this procedure removes large amounts of fat
over several sessions of surgery. Anywhere from four to six
liters of pure fat is able to be removed in each session.
The most common areas for women to get liposuction are in the
abdomen, chin, hips and thighs. Men have also gone with
liposuction to reduce the size of their stomachs.
Liposuction is one of the safest forms of cosmetic surgery
there is and is performed as day surgery and requires only the
use of a local anesthetic.
Liposuction can be performed on people of all ages, but older
patients do not receive the same result, as their skin
elasticity is less than a younger person who has tighter skin.
Any procedure, including liposuction, involves many risks and
complications. Before going through with the surgery, make sure
that the surgeon you have chosen is recommended and has a
reputation of being honest and safe.
