The Basics Of Liposuction Surgery

By Andrew Moore


Individuals who are dealing with stubborn fat pockets that have not responded to exercise and diet often seek a cosmetic procedure called liposuction. The areas on which this procedure is most often performed are the thighs, buttocks, hips, and stomach. Good candidates for such procedures are generally healthy, have firm skin, and are only slightly overweight.

The aforementioned procedure is usually performed in a medical office and the patient does not stay overnight. However, the cosmetic specialist may suggest inpatient surgery if excessive amounts of fat cells must be removed. In addition, if the patient is at an abnormally high risk for complications, an inpatient procedure is generally the best option.

The process can be completed while one is under local or general anesthesia. Depending on the kind of liposuction being performed, the strength of the anesthesia will vary. The amount of fat being removed will also play a role in how much anesthetic is necessary.

A suction device is utilized during the surgery, which is attached to a modest size stainless steel tool called a cannula. Tiny incisions are made in the person's skin, and the device is inserted into the problem areas. From there, excess fat cells are suctioned out of the patient's body.

Fat cells are permanently removed when such surgery is completed. If one experiences weight gain at a later time in life, it will not usually appear in the same area where the surgery was performed. However, it is essential that one understand to that no cosmetic procedure will not prevent future weight gain. Therefore, it is wise for one to eat healthy foods and exercise.

Individuals who wish to pursue liposuction should seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon. It is wise to choose a doctor who has extensive experience with such procedures. Regardless of whether it is traditional or cosmetic, all types of surgeries are associated with risks. These should be discussed at one's initial appointment. Those who have the aforementioned surgery are usually pleased with the outcome.
