What Is Liposuction and Can It Work for You?

Liposuction is a type of procedure that allows a surgeon to remove some of the fatty tissue that accumulates in various areas of the body. One of the most common areas patients requests this procedure is for the abdominal area. It is not for everyone, though. This procedure is not a type of weight loss surgery. Most often, only a few pounds of material will be removed from the area. Rather, the goal of this procedure is for reshaping or sculpting the area of the body to remove unwanted fatty tissue.

Not for Weight Loss

It is important to know that liposuction is best for those types of procedures in which the individual is looking for contouring of the body. It is best for those areas of the body where fatty tissue does not reduce even after exercise and diet. For example, women who have children may develop pockets of this tissue in the abdominal region. For some, it is very difficult to remove all of these tissues and as a result, they have a continuous bulky look in this area. This procedure, though, can help to improve it.

How Does It Work?

Doctors will insert a tube-like device into the area that uses suction to remove the fatty tissues from the area. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia through other methods may also be used. Most people will not have to remain in the hospital long after having this procedure. Though there are risks of complications for many, the procedure is overall safe for those who choose a licensed professional and a high-quality facility. It is a good idea to learn as much as you can about the provider before you decide to work with him or her for the procedure.

This procedure can help with many areas of the body. It is effective at removing those fatty pockets in the cheeks, inner knee, hips, waist, thighs, arms and numerous other locations throughout the body. If you have a trouble spot that never seems to improve even with diet and exercise, it is a good idea to talk to a surgeon to find out if this is a good option for your needs.

In addition to having liposuction, many men and women also use this procedure along with other cosmetic procedures to improve their overall appearance further. For example, it can be used alongside breast reduction procedures, tummy tucks, and facelifts to further enhance your appearance the way you want it to be. During a consultation with a surgeon, you will learn more about your options and whether this procedure is the right option for your specific needs.
