Liposuction

What can Liposuction do for you?

Liposuction has the ability to help you achieve a more contoured and trim body by removing fat from troublesome areas. Fat may accumulate as a result of weight control and fitness problems, but even those in a healthy weight range may have excess fat that they cannot get rid of despite diet and exercise.

Liposuction allows for the removal of these fat deposits which improves body contours and proportion, which may also boost self-image.

While liposuction removes fat, it is not an effective treatment against cellulite, nor will it get rid of loose or excess skin. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and final results will depend largely on an individual’s maintenance of a reduced-calorie diet and exercise routine.

If you are bothered by excess fat deposits anywhere on your body that you cannot get rid of through diet and exercise, liposuction may be the right procedure for you.

What to discuss with your surgeon

When thinking about liposuction, it is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss any questions or anxieties with your doctor during the consultation. The ideal candidates are adults within 30% of their ideal body weight who have firm skin, good elasticity, and muscle tone.

It is also important to discuss why you would like to have liposuction and your medical history, including any diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure and any cardiovascular or circulatory disorders. You should discuss any previous surgeries and the usage of prescription and over-the-counter medications, supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco and/or drugs. These can all affect liposuction surgery, your post-ophealing, and ultimately the results of your liposuction procedure.
