Title: Liposuction- For a Slim and Slender Physique


1
Liposuction- For a Slim and Slender Physique
Sculpting the body via liposuction remains one of
the most sought after and common cosmetic
procedures in both the United States and United
Kingdom. According to data, in the United States,
more than 400,000 liposuction procedures are done
annually. Include procedures done in the United
Kingdom, and this number proliferates rapidly.
While liposuction sculpts the body, it should
never be confused or substituted for weight loss.
One who undergoes the procedure must already have
a healthy lifestyle and have maintained a healthy
body weight for six months or more.

Why Individuals Contemplate Liposuction
While patients must be at a stable weight, one
might wonder what the need for liposuction can
possibly be. Simply, it is a tool to remove body
fat deposits which appear on particular areas of
the body. These areas can include the following
  • Tummy
  • Buttocks
  • Beneath the chin and jawline
  • Hips
  • Upper thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Back

According to the American Society of Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, women generally request
liposuction on their tummy and thighs, whereas
men have their procedure on their flanks, also
referred to as love handles.   Liposuction is a
procedure high in demand including plastic
surgery San Diego.
What Liposuction Does Not Do
As mentioned earlier, liposuction is not an
avenue for weight loss. In fact, soon after the
procedure, one will gain weight from liquid
retention but this will drop off in the days and
weeks that follow. While the procedure skillfully
sculpts certain areas of the body, it will not do
the following  
  • It will not remove stretch marks.
  • It will not remove cellulite.
  • It will not correct skin texture irregularities.
  • It is not a remedy for obesity.
  •  
  • Rather than offering health perks, liposuction is
    an aesthetic tool which improves a patients
    appearance.

When Liposuction Should Be Considered
Most health care professionals agree that
liposuction should only be considered after an
individual has truly been diligent with their
diet and exercise and still has the appearance of
fatty deposits. Despite these earnest attempts,
some fat areas seem to be immune to diet and
exercise.   In these instances, men and women
are then encouraged to seek a board certified
plastic surgeon for a consultation to determine
if one is a candidate for the procedure. Above
all, it will help assess if the procedure would
produce the desired results.
The Cosmetic Surgery Consultation
A consultation with a plastic surgeon is the
opportune time to determine whether or not an
individual is a candidate for liposuction. In
detail, the plastic surgeon will review ones
medical history while assessing the areas of
liposuction a patient desires. Those with
circulation issues, such as heart disease and
diabetes, typically are not candidates for this
procedure.

The doctor will also assess the skin area to make
certain a fair amount of elasticity is present so
the skin can recede to new contours following the
procedure.   During the course of the
consultation, its important to discuss the
procedure, the recovery, any side-effects, and
what type of assistance one will need following
surgery. Its important to be candid with the
plastic surgeon so realistic expectations can be
addressed.
