subject: Some Of The Most Popular Target Areas For Liposuction [print this page] Liposuction (also known as lipoplasty and suction lipectomy) is a very popular surgery. Hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo this surgery every year, and the surgery is similarly popular in other parts of the world.
One of the reasons that this procedure is so widespread and has such a wide degree of popularity is because it is highly versatile. Unlike many other types of cosmetic surgery, which only target one area (for example, the nose or the breasts), lipoplasty is a surgery which can be performed just about anywhere there's excess fat on the body.
With that said, there are some areas which are definitely more popular than others. One of the very most popular areas is the abdomen. People of both genders have experienced putting on unwanted fat around their tummies. For men, this is mostly a matter of genetics. Men are by and large genetically predisposed to store most of their excess fat around their waist, whether it's on the front or more on the side (where they're generally called "love handles").
Some women also store large amounts of fat around their stomachs, but this is less common than in men. However, when women become pregnant and give birth, they often store more fat around their waists. This fat is often difficult to get rid of, even after the baby is born. Also, if a woman delivers via C-section, this can often cause small deposits of fat to from around the incision site. Liposuction can help both genders to smooth out their tummies.
Another place that is popular among both genders is the area of the breasts. Most men don't really want to carry a lot of fat around their breasts, and so when they experience fat gain there, many find it embarrassing. Although it is more societally acceptable for women to carry large amounts of weight around their breasts, too much can cause back, neck and shoulder pain. In both genders, liposuction can help to reduce the size of the breast, and to allay emotional and physical discomfort.
Some other areas which are popular are the hips, thighs and buttocks among women. Among men, the face and the neck are also popular. If you would like to know whether lipoplasty could help you with your own personal problem spots, please speak with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. He or she should be able to answer any questions that you might have. If you share your goals and wishes with the surgeon, he should be able to help you find out if the surgery would be right for you.
