12 Dec The Many Uses Of Liposuction
Liposuction is most commonly used to improve how a person looks, rather than providing any physical health benefits. In some cases, the patient would probably achieve results from diet and exercise, however, many more times, the patients have dieted and exercised to no avail in certain areas of their body. When an individual gains weight, each fat cell increases in size and volume. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in isolated areas.
As with any procedure, liposuction patients should openly discuss the pros and cons of liposuction with their doctor before deciding on whether to proceed.
The most common areas of liposuction would include:
• Abdomen
• Back
• Buttocks
• Chest
• Inner knees
• Hips
• Flanks (love handles
• Neckline and the area under the chin (submental)
• Thighs – saddlebags (outer thighs), and inner thighs
• Upper arm
Tummy Tuck With Liposuction
In the surgical world, liposuction (lipoplasty) and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) are two of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Liposuction is intended to sculpt the body through removal of extra fat, while tummy tuck surgery is intended to remove excess skin and tighten loose tummy muscles. Used in tandem, the procedure is known as Lipoabdominoplasty. When a tummy tuck is performed, almost always a liposuction procedure is done as well.
This is a very effective way to extenuate the contour of the waist along with the abdominoplasty. Patients should have their consultation with a Plastic Surgeon that is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and discuss with them in detail this combination.
