Liposuction: The procedure that can help you finally blast that stubborn fat.
Curves are a beautiful thing. They give life to the feminine physique and character to its movement. However, pesky pockets of fat along the waist, hips, and thighs, can create a bumpy road for those who desire a smoother silhouette. Unfortunately, the battle of the bulge to eliminate this fat can be particularly difficult and frustrating because the fat in these areas are extremely resistant to being mobilized and “burned.” For many, the only way to eliminate this fat is with liposuction. With a concentration on enhancing and defining the body’s natural shape, liposuction is a quick and effective way to blast that fat.
Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is an aesthetic procedure that facilitates the removal of excess fatty tissue just below the skin by suction. Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions. A hollow tube, or cannula, is used to eliminate body fat by employing various techniques pursuant to the needs of the individual patient. While liposuction is often employed to treat fat pockets located at the belly, waist, hips, buttocks and thighs; several other areas of the body can also benefit from liposuction, including the chest, back, and lower chin/neck. The focus of a liposuction procedure is to accentuate the hollows and celebrate the fullness. In some cases, we transfer the fat we remove from one area of unwanted fullness to the places that we want to enhance volume. Liposuction may also improve the appearance of cellulite.
Liposuction is a safe and effective way to to sculpt areas of the body that do not seem to improve with diet and exercise. It is a low risk procedure that is performed in an outpatient facility under IV sedation. Recovery is quick and most patients are able to return to work within 3-5 days. Compression undergarments are worn for 3-4 weeks post-operatively, in order to keep swelling to a minimum. And because the incision site is so minimal, there is little scarring that should fade completely over time.
Healthy individuals who have decided that liposuction will help them achieve their aesthetic goals and do not have any medical condition or life-threatening illness that may impair the healing process are the ideal for this procedure. Non-smoking patients troubled by excess fat deposits and individuals with a positive outlook in life who have an specific idea in mind for body contouring are also good candidates for liposuction. Liposuction cannot be used to treat obesity or any other condition. Patients must exercise regularly as well as have good eating habits in order to keep a healthy body weight. This procedure can be performed alone or it can also be combined with other surgical procedures including breast reduction, breast lift, tummy tuck, and facelift.
