Liposuction Overview
Liposuction is a form of body fat reduction that has increased over the years. The main areas on the body where fat tends to accumulate is on the abdomen and hips. However, there are many other places on the body where fat collects. These areas are typically resistant to diet or exercise. The alternative to exercise for this type of problem area is to have the excess fat removed via liposuction.
Liposuction uses a stainless steel tube connected to a suction pump. The doctor inserts this tub in the fat through a small incision in the skin. The suction will remove the fatty layers creating an improved figure. In women, this procedure is done frequently in the inner thighs, outer thighs, hips, buttocks, arms and abdomen. For men the common sections are the love handles, the chest and chin.
These fat cells are located beneath the skin throughout the body. When weight is an issue, the amount of fat cells does not change, what changes is the amount of fat in each sell. This is why even when a patient loses weight, they will find some deposits of fat in unwanted places.
Liposuction is also known as body sculpture. This is because many times these fat deposits need to be sculpted when exercise and diet will not eliminate them. Getting liposuction does not mean that you will loose eight dress sizes. However, it will change the shape of your body. Liposuction is not the solution if the patient is looking to have a firm and toned body, but it will help eliminate the excess fat from certain regions on the body that you can later tone with exercise and diet. When combined with a tummy tuck, excess skin can also be removed.
