Liposuction, or lipo, is a body contouring procedure used to remove fat deposits from specific areas of the body. There are several types of liposuction procedures, but in general, lipo requires a small incision in the treatment area through which a cannula, or hollow tube, is inserted. The cannula is moved rapidly back and forth to break up fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body. Prior to undergoing liposuction, it�s important to understand what lipo can and cannot do to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Liposuction Can Do for You
Liposuction can:
� Remove stubborn fat deposits � Lipo is a highly effective subcutaneous fat removal treatment for many areas of the body that have not responded to diet and exercise. Some of the most common treatment areas in healthy men and women include the abdomen, waistline, flanks, hips, thighs, knees, ankles, arms, face, and back. Additionally, men with gynecomastia (or male breasts) often benefit from liposuction in the chest area.
� Contour specific areas of the body � Women in particular seek liposuction procedures to achieve a more contoured, feminine shape to their bodies. Reshaping a targeted treatment area begins as a cannula is moved through fat pockets to create tunnels in the fat layer. Before the final, more contoured result is achieved, the tunnels must collapse and heal, and swelling must subside. To aid in this process, a patient will be required to wear a compression garment for a period of time following the procedure.
What Liposuction Can�t Do for You
Liposuction cannot:
� Serve as a substitute for weight loss � Liposuction is not a weight loss technique. While subcutaneous fat cells can be removed, inner visceral fat that surrounds organs, and contributes to obesity, cannot be removed with liposuction. Additionally, lipo cannot remove cellulite. The ideal candidates for fat removal procedures are those who are in good health and within at least 10 percent of their goal weight.
� Eliminate future fat absorption in untreated areas � If you have never undergone liposuction, your fat cells are replaced every seven years, which means your body will always have the same number of fat cells. Weight gain occurs when the cells absorb and store fat and expand. Conversely, weight loss occurs when the body burns stored fat as energy, causing fat cells to shrink. However, liposuction permanently destroys and removes fat cells from an area of the body, and those cells will never grow again. So, if you gain weight after liposuction, fat cells in previously untreated areas will begin to absorb excess fat, which can eventually create a disproportionate silhouette.
� Tighten loose, excess skin � Lipo does not address excess skin that often results from significant weight loss, aging, and other factors. For example, a patient who has lost weight and wants liposuction to better define the contours of her waistline may also require a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying abdominal muscle.
Consult a Plastic Surgeon
If you�re considering liposuction to contour your abdomen, hips, thighs, or another area of your body, take time to thoroughly research how the procedure is performed on the area you�d like to treat. More importantly, as you learn about the procedure, keep in mind what liposuction can and can�t do for you. Doing so will help you more accurately formulate reasonable expectations for your desired outcome.
Additionally, you should consult an experienced plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. A highly skilled surgeon can properly assess your proposed treatment areas and recommend the procedure or combination of procedures that he or she believes will best help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
