What is Liposuction Surgery?

Liposuction surgery removes excess deposits of fat to sculpt an improved shape to a patient’s body. While liposuction is best known as a fat removal procedure, it is also one of the best procedures to help a patient refine his or her shape.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?

Both men and women undergo liposuction every year to achieve a variety of different goals. Some patients want to look better in a swimsuit, while others want to find jeans that fit more comfortably. For men, liposuction can often successfully treat gynecomastia.

If one or more of the following apply to you, liposuction is an option to consider:
• I feel like certain areas are out of proportion with the rest of my figure.
Reducing excess fat on one area of the body can bring it into better balance with your natural features.
• I have good skin elasticity – sagging skin is not a problem for me.
For optimal results, the skin should have good enough tone to contract to the body’s new contours.
• I am at or near my desired body weight.
Liposuction is best for reducing localized fat deposits, and the most satisfied patients are typically happy with their overall weight before surgery.

Liposuction is of limited help in the below cases

  • I have loose, sagging skin that I want to address.
    Since liposuction is designed specifically to target fatty tissue, it will not significantly improve the appearance of loose skin. Other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift, may be better options for you.
  • I want to lose a significant amount of weight.

Liposuction can improve your shape, which can help you look thinner and more fit, but it’s not a weight loss method. While some overweight patients can benefit from the reshaping effects, the most satisfied patients tend to be happy with their weight prior to surgery.

How Liposuction works?

Your cosmetic surgeon will make one or more small incisions near the treatment area. A cannula, or thin tube, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat beneath the skin. Then, the fat is suctioned out. The entire procedure can take under an hour or up to 3 hours or longer, depending on the number of areas treated.

Liposuction Recovery

Many patients return to work just a few days after their procedures, depending on the physical requirements of their jobs and the extent of their procedures.

Your cosmetic surgeon may give you a compression garment to wear for a few weeks following surgery. This helps to minimize swelling and encourage optimal skin contraction. With proper care, scars should fade significantly over the months following surgery; in many cases, scars are barely visible after a year or so.

Results can last permanently with proper care

Liposuction removes fat cells from your body, and these fat cells will not grow back. However, it is important to maintain a stable weight to ensure that your new look remains optimal. If you gain a significant amount of weight in the future, your overall appearance is likely to change as your body stores excess fat in other locations.
