Will I Look Weird After My Liposuction?

All over the internet, you can find horror stories about celebrity liposuctions gone wrong

. People point to wavy patterns in the skin on popular starlets' stomachs or thighs and speculate as to whether or not these celebrities have gotten plastic surgeries. On cosmetic surgery websites, you can read personal reviews by patients where they talk about their experiences with scarring, skin discoloration and excess or baggy skin.

Given that a lot of expense goes into a cosmetic surgery, and given that the reason for wanting to undergo such a surgery is, in fact, to improve one's appearance, it makes a lot of sense that people are concerned with whether or not their liposuction (also referred to as lipoplasty and suction lipectomy) will make them look strange. This article will discuss what the surgery is, what it can do, and what the likely results of the surgery are.

Lipoplasty is a surgery which removes excess fat from on specific or a few specific target areas on the body. The surgery uses hollow needles called cannulas to break up and suction out fat in an attempt to smooth out and trim down the target area. Because the cannula is so small, the incisions required for the surgery are typically very small as well. This means that there is not typically much by way of serious scarring during a lipoplasty. There are, however, occasionally other kinds of skin blemishes. Sometimes areas of skin will become irritated during the surgery and become discolored, either appearing darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. This problem is typically temporary, however it does often last for a space of months or even years.

A lot of whether or not you look natural after your surgery will depend on the choices that you and your surgeon make. Often, when people look strange after a lipoplasty, it is because they have attempted to have too much fat removed. Most bodies naturally have a certain sort of balance to them, and if a lipectomy is performed which unskillfully removes too much fat from a certain area, that balance can be upset. For example, if an overweight person gets significant amounts of fat removed from their arms, but none from their back, they could look somewhat strange.

Similarly, the human body is designed to have a certain amount of fat underneath the skin. Removing too much can lead to loose skin, strange wavy patterns or simply an unusual appearance.

In all of the decisions you make with your surgeon, you should make sure that the intent of your surgery is to enhance your appearance, not simply to remove as much fat as possible.
