UNDERSTANDING LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is essentially the manual removal of unwanted fat in a targeted treatment area. Liposuction uses a wand-like device known as a cannula to suction fat and place it into an external collection canister. Removing this fat is permanent and allows patients to contour their bodies while reducing their size in specific areas. With liposuction, a patient can target areas that are not responding to other approaches.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
By removing the unwanted fat, the patient will experience improved body contours in the treated areas. Patients need to understand that this procedure is not a weight-loss option but a body contouring treatment. It is best performed on patients who are within their ideal weight range but are struggling with specific body areas not responding to dietary and activity changes. Removal of the unwanted fat is permanent, though remaining fat cells can expand if patients live an unhealthy lifestyle following their procedure.
IS LIPOSUCTION SAFE?
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that has been around for decades and continues to be a safe and effective way of removing unwanted fat from the body—especially when performed by a skilled and trained professional.
