Healthy diet and exercise are widely known as the secret to maintaining a healthy, fit body. However, sometimes no matter how hard you work, certain problem areas seem resistant to the improvement being seen in the rest of your body. Have you been feeling frustrated over stubborn excess fat in the abdomen, butt, or thighs? If so, then you may find liposuction useful in helping you achieve your desired figure.
What Is Liposuction and Is It for Me?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure consisting of the removal of excess fat deposits through a cannula. This fat reduction surgery will result in an improved body contour for those who struggle to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat. Liposuction is considered for patients who wish to remove unwanted fat from a particular area that may otherwise be resistant to change, such as the neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and others. This procedure is not intended to remove excess skin or as an obesity treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
- Liposuction sculpts the body when diet and exercise cannot
- Fat cells are permanently removed from stubborn areas
- Liposuction can be performed on problem areas like the abdomen, arms, back, buttocks, flanks, neck, and thighs
- Sleeker overall appearance due to removal of stubborn fat
- Some liposuction techniques are minimally invasive
- Abdominal liposuction can remove stubborn belly fat
How Long Will My Results Last?
Once fat cells are removed from target areas, the results are permanent. However, optimal results are entirely dependent on the patient’s ability to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Once fat cells are taken from an area, any future weight gain will result in the body finding new, and sometimes unpredictable areas to store new fat. Weight gain, childbirth, and aging can all negatively affect results, so it is encouraged that patients that undergo liposuction keep their weight stable post-surgery.
