subject: Factors to Consider Before Undergoing Liposuction [print this page] If anyone should wish to go through with this type of body contour procedure there are certain factors to consider. Here is a short checklist of requirements for those who want to undergoliposuction in the Philippines.
The person in question needs to be at least 18 years old or older, in terms of age.
The patient needs to be in good general condition.
Proof that the patient never had a history of chronic health anomalies in their family (ex. diabetes, congenital heart conditions, etc.).
It must also be duly noted that the patient already exerted considerable effort in dieting or exercising or both but still maintained a persistent 10 to 15 pounds (of fat) in certain areas of the body. In short, this type of procedure must be taken as a last resort or a conjunctive measure and not as an alternative to proper dieting and/or exercise.
For the benefit of the readers, this article will also include a few preparation tips.
For two weeks prior to the operation, the patient should avoid taking anticoagulants. If the patient should choose to undergo the surgery using general anaesthesia or sedation, theliposuction surgery will most probably be scheduled in the morning, so the patient will need to start fasting midnight the night before.
For patients who would choose to go with local anaesthesia, fasting would no longer be required.
For smokers who wish to undergo liposuction, abstinence should be exercised two months prior to the operation. This is because nicotine is a dangerous toxin which interrupts proper blood circulation which can cause tissue damage. But quitting the habit altogether would be the best option to go with for that matter.
