subject: What is Liposuction? [print this page] Learn more about liposuction and how this cosmetic procedure is done.
Many people want to be fit (or at least "look" the part). To achieve this end they desperately try many different methods to lose weight. Some resort to trying different diet programs, which often ends in disappointment. Others go for expensive exercise equipments, and strict training regimens, methods which generally work but require great discipline and time not to mention money (for the equipment). There is nothing wrong with trying either or both of the two methods mentioned above but let's face medical facts here: for some people, 10-15 pounds of unwanted fat persist in certain pockets on the body even if they keep exercising till they go limp.
In today's society people tend to have different opinions about cosmetic surgery. And one particular procedure faced incredible amounts of scrutiny throughout the years and lived on until this very day through invention and re-invention.
This procedure is called liposuction.
This body contour procedure intends to remove persistent body fat in areas of the body where it is unwanted. While the concept seems simple enough the unfortunate fact about this procedure is that it's not for everyone.
Goals to Achieve
Like other surgical procedures liposuction has its own sets of goals to achieve. They are as follows.
To remove the desired amount of fat.
To avoid unnecessary damage to the parts of the body surrounding the area to be operated.
To leave the body's chemistry unaffected.
To prevent excess discomfort to the patient.
Paths to Choose
There are many types of procedures to choose from and the patient is free to choose one that suits his/her preferences. Please be advised to ask yourcosmetic surgeon for the full details regarding your preferred operation type.
