Liposuction is a common plastic surgery this is gaining popularity. This type of cosmetic surgery is the most popular plastic surgeries of all in the United States. This type of procedure is performed to literally suction out extra fat deposits from under a person’s skin. It is a method of body contouring and is most often used for people who have troublesome fatty areas on their bodies that simply will not go away with proper diet and exercise.
A person will be given anesthesia and then the procedure will begin. Using a special vacuuming devise called a cannula, plastic surgeons will go beneath the skin to gain access to the fat deposits and they will be quickly removed from the body. The cannula is a long hollow needle; it is inserted via incisions that are usually quite small. The surgeons work in a quick motion, as to gain the desired effects of a smooth finish.
Fat deposits naturally occur under everyone’s skin and this procedure is recommended only if a person is unable to lose certain fatty areas through a prolonged healthy diet and a good exercise program. It is very likely that even someone who maintains a healthy lifestyle can have certain persistent fat deposits.
The best candidates for this type of plastic surgery are those that have a bulging fatty area in the abdomen, arms, thighs or neck. Ideal candidates will be physically fit, exercise routinely and are not severely overweight. The best results will occur with people who have small, localized areas of fat that they wish to have removed.
The cons to this procedure are slight. A person may find that the area, in which the fat was removed, is still flabby to a certain extent. The results will depend quite a bit on the type of skin a person has and it is easily stretches back to a smaller size. Those who are seeking a quick way to have fast weight loss will find this is not the answer. Only a certain amount of fat can be safely removed at one time. This type of procedure is for localized fat only; it is not a whole body procedure. Results can vary; localized areas will usually have an approved appearance; however those who undertake this type of surgery should know that it will not produce stunning, drastic, full-body results.
The pros can be satisfactory results. For those who have spent years trying to rid themselves of certain fatty areas, this type of plastic surgery can be a cure. Within a day, fat can be removed that stayed stubbornly on the body for years. Also, for those who choose to lose large amounts of weight via Gastric Bypass or other procedures, may find that Liposuction will provide a nice finishing touch if they have lost a considerable amount of weight and an abdominoplasty is going to be performed to remove excess skin. The Liposuction can be used at the same time to remove final fatty deposits.
A person, who chooses to have Liposuction, should have realistic expectations. This type of plastic surgery is usually successful to enhance a body, not to completely reshape it.
