Aging, pregnancy and significant changes in body weight cause permanent fat deposits and loose skin formation that do not respond to diet and exercise, and result in undesirable appearance in the body. Regional stubborn adipose tissues can make you become dissatisfied with your body and lose your self-confidence. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that allows you to get rid of regional adipose tissues and reshape your body like a sculpture. If you take care, you can get the ideal body appearance with this method, by which you will get long lasting results.
If there are regional fat depositions in your body and you cannot get rid of these fat tissues by methods such as diet and exercise, liposuction comes to the fore as an effective application. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat tissues in certain parts of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, chest, back, chin and neck. This procedure is also called body contouring since contouring is also applied in the areas where liposuction is done.
Liposuction and body contouring surgeries can be used to regain your body folds, to achieve a more proportional and attractive silhouette, and to balance fat distribution. With this method, a thinner and healthier appearance will be achieved by accentuating your natural body folds.
Liposuction should not be seen as a weight loss method. It is a procedure of removing the fatty tissues that have accumulated in certain parts of the body and reshaping those tissues. Especially those who have maintained their body weight for a long time and whose weight have not changed are more suitable for a liposuction procedure.
Liposuction is a body contouring method preferred not only by women but also by men. Especially for men, the stomach area is a region suitable for accumulation of excessive fat. A very effective result is obtained by applying liposuction in such type of regional fat deposition.
During a liposuction procedure, a suction tool, called a cannula, is placed under the skin and moved around to scrape fat from between the skin and muscle. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets stubborn fats, helping patients achieve a slimmer and more fit look. It is a great technique to shape and contour the body. Those who apply for a body contouring operation often want to have fat removed from their hips, thighs and abdomen. There may be excess skin after removing the fat targeted. Therefore, liposuction it is often combined with another body contouring procedure, such as tummy tuck or thigh lift.
It is also important that patients that consider liposuction have realistic expectations and understand what can be achieved reasonably. The best results will be obtained in healthy patients with reasonable skin elasticity (required for retraction) and underlying muscle tissue.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure and brings risk. You should therefore be healthy before the operation. The points that require particular attention are as follows: You should have a firm and elastic skin, not be a smoker and not be overweight.
Balance, harmony and folds between regions in the body are the basic elements of an attractive human form. An aesthetic surgeon can shape almost any part of the body using liposuction and deliver dramatic improvements with subtle changes. It is one of the best procedures to help correct the patient’s body shape although it is known best as a fat removing procedure. In fact, plastic surgeons often use liposuction to correct the results of other operations because no other technique can show such distinct improvement in body contour and give successful results.
