subject: Body Areas For Liposuction Surgery [print this page] When people hear of liposuction, it is common to think of the abdomen of receiving the surgery. However, there are various areas of the body that are popular for people to treat with the procedure. Depending upon your area of concern, there are different precautions to take and information to understand.
It is important to thoroughly talk to your doctor about the areas of your body you are concerned with and desire to have treated. Different areas of the body bring with them varying risks and cost different amounts of money to have treated. They also have different recovery times and post surgical care.
The abdomen is one of the most common areas to have treated with liposuction, by both men and women. After pregnancy, some women have excess fat deposits caused by the abdomen stretching. Many people often feel extra self conscious when they have excess fat in this area. Having surgery is often a resort to rid the extra fat when exercise and dieting are not sufficient.
The back is a common area for women to have treated. The excess fat in this area may be anywhere from the waist up to the bottom of the neck. With the fat removed from this area, the body will have a smoother figure as a result.
Liposuction for the breasts helps eliminate pain and awkwardness often felt by those with extremely large breasts. When this area is treated, there is a quick recovery period and the patient is able to have up to half of the breast sized reduced if they desire.
Many men have the area commonly referred to as the "love handles" or the area above the hipbone treated. This fat is generally difficult to shed from exercise and dieting. Recovery for this area is fairly short and patients are often advised to wear a compression garment. These garments reduce the swelling and recovery time and also help blood circulation.
Having liposuction performed on the arms is common with women. Through having the procedure on this body area, many women feel more comfortable wearing short sleeved and sleeveless shirts. The results of having the surgery on this area often have high satisfaction results.
Make sure you research the varying areas you desire to have liposuction preformed on. Each one is different. However, with current technology and knowledge today, many areas of the body are able to be treated effectively.
