Liposuction
The length of time required to perform the procedure varies with the amount of fat that is to be removed and the number of areas to be treated. Many patients inquire about combining liposuction methods. When your local plastic surgeon deems appropriate, this is sometimes recommended. The problem of excess skin can be helped by creams and exercises but as we age the elasticity of our skin decreases so it may be hard for the skin to regain it’s tightness. The amount of actual fat lost is only about 10lb not nearly enough to justify the risk (and there is a significant risk) of the surgery. By contrast, a tummy tuck is a much more major surgical procedure, and it is always performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, the surgeon cuts a large incision across the abdomen. This statistics is firmly supported by the American society for Dermatolic surgery. The length of time required to perform the procedure varies with the amount of fat that is to be removed and the number of areas to be treated. The essence of the cosmetic surgery called liposuction is to give a more sexy and well-trimmed look. It differs in male and female. Liposuction is intended to reduce and smooth the contours of the body and improve the patient’s appearance.
