The purpose of liposuction cosmetic surgery is to remove excess fatty tissue from body and to improve the contours of your body.
So, who exactly is a good candidate for liposuction cosmetic surgery? Well, you are, if any of the following apply to you...
You have excess fat areas in the neck, arms, back, breasts, ankles, calves, thighs, saddlebags, love handles, hips, buttocks or stomach.
You have areas of fatty deposits that aren t in proportion with the remainder of your body, and that don t go away even after exercise and diet. This is also known as diet resistant fat.
Your fatty tissues are not around areas where you have excess, sagging skin skin elasticity being important since liposuction only removes fat and not skin.
If you decide to go ahead with having liposuction surgery, then the first step is to find yourself a plastic surgeon. They will then discuss the procedure with you, ask what look you would like to achieve, and tell you how close to that look surgery will be able to take you. There is no need to hold back or feel shy during this consultation, in fact, the more frank and honest you are, the more likely you are to be pleased with the end results.
It is best to thoroughly prepare yourself for your consultation with your chosen plastic surgeon. Take with you details of your past medical history, and make a note of any medications you have taken, or are taking, and of any allergies that you have. This is important as it some cases your eligibility for surgery may be compromised by your current health or past medical procedures that you have undergone.
So, should be eligible, and have found a surgeon that you are happy with, then the next step is to familiarize yourself with how liposuction cosmetic surgery actually works. Basically, what happens is that a tube, or canula, is inserted into the areas of your body where fat has deposited itself, so that a pump can be used to create a vacuum that allows the fatty tissues to literally be sucked out of you. There are some slight variations to this method though, which may be used depending on your particular circumstances, and the specific expertise of the surgeon that you have chosen.
You do not need to overly concern yourself with the various different methods of liposuction though, as your surgeon will, having advised you and listened to your feedback, make the final decision. They will have performed liposuction many times before, so you can rest assured that they will know exactly what will be right for you.
Once the surgery has been performed, which generally takes a few hours at most, you will need to rest and recuperate for a period of about ten days. There are generally no complications with the procedure, as it is one of the most common ones that plastic surgeons perform, and so no follow up operations should be necessary.
The results of your liposuction usually last for a long period of time, however, the healing process can be gradual, so it may take several months for you to notice the full effects of your surgery. Some slight scaring may initially be visible but, over the course of a few months, this will fade to the extent that is barely visible.
