Liposuction
If you're considering a liposuction...
Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing
unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks,
thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past
decade, liposuction, which is also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction
lipectomy," has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number
of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the
tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many
plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results
and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a
substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn
areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR LIPOSUCTION
To be a good candidate for liposuction, you must have realistic
expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to
understand that liposuction can enhance your appearance and self
confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your
ideal or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide
to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss
them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm,
elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should
be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your
expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older
patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the
same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.
