What to Consider Before Undergoing Liposuction
Liposuction, a plastic surgery procedure in which pockets of excess fat are removed with a special vacuum, is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. New liposuction tools and techniques can target big and small problem areas to help patients achieve a contoured, streamlined body.
While liposuction procedures continue to rapidly increase in popularity, there are a number of factors patients should consider before undergoing the surgery including:
• Liposuction helps remove excess fat, but it should not be a replacement for a healthy lifestyle
• The best liposuction candidates are those who are physically and emotionally healthy
• Patients should be realistic about the results of the procedure. Unrealistic expectations often lead to dissatisfaction
• Certain physical characteristics lead to better results. For example, younger patients typically have better skin elasticity
• Patients with heart conditions or diabetes may suffer complications during the procedure
Before making the decision to undergo liposuction, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Please click here to set up a consultation with a board certified cosmetic surgeon in your area.
