Things You Need to Know About Liposuction

Perhaps you’re planning to undergo a liposuction procedure because your friends kept mocking you about those flabby buttocks, thighs, and hips. Many women in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Wellington (Florida) are opting for such procedure to restore their beautifully-contoured body shape and amaze their friends of how they remain beautiful despite aging. For this reason alone, liposuction has become the leading cosmetic procedure in the country today.

Liposuction, lipoplasty, liposculpture, or simply lipo is a process of contouring body figures by extracting excess fats on different areas of the body. Although many women still opt for the traditional ‘diet and exercise’ combination, liposuction is a choice for many people, even celebrities and public figures. The process of liposuction starts from consultation.

Dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons will check if you are a good candidate for the procedure. However, your candidacy does not assure that you are eligible for liposuction. Your surgeon can suggest other cosmetic procedures such as tummy tuck or buttock lift.

Cannula, a stainless steel tube, is used in liposuction Boca Raton. Cosmetic surgeons first give an anesthesia to the patient. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon will make a small incision on the area where the tube will be inserted. The tube allows fat suction through the use of a vacuum attached to the other end of the tube. Surgeons will work on the deep fat layer that is safer to penetrate than superficial fat layers.

The surgeon will push and pull the tube on the deep fat layer that will later create a tunnel. This breaks the fat cells and enables fat absorption on the body. Although many people believe that there are health risks with liposuction Delray Beach FL cosmetic experts believe that liposuction is safe as long as it is performed by a professional cosmetic surgeon. That is why it is important that you look for the best surgeon in your locality.

Because of its popularity, liposuction is misinterpreted as a weight loss procedure. Although fats can be removed through liposuction Wellington medical experts believe that only a maximum of 10 pounds of fat can be removed through the procedure. That means obese people are not eligible for liposuction, as removing more than 10 pounds of fat can cause health risks and complications.
