Liposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgery in the United States. This technique is used to reshape the body by permanently removing localized fat deposits. Liposuction is popular with both men and women, and can be performed on many different parts of the body successfully. Fatty deposits on the inner and outer thighs, buttocks, hips, lower back, and knees are especially resistant to diet and exercise.
Many patients become discouraged at having lost unwanted pounds without seeing a significant change in the lower body. The overall proportions of the body may be unbalanced. In these cases, Liposuction can successfully trim the excess fat to achieve a more attractive balance and symmetry to the body. In fact, these are the most common areas of the body for Liposuction. The goal is to create a more aesthetic balance to the body, round the curves and fit better into clothing and bathing suits.
Liposuction is not a weight loss technique, and is not a cure for overall obesity. It is, however, a great way to get rid of those bulges that you cannot seem to get rid of any other way.
Common Benefits of Liposuction
A newly trim lower body can provide a psychological lift and an extra incentive to exercise regularly to maintain fitness. Many patients express relief at not being bothered by chafing in the thigh area, and they also find that clothes tend to fit them better.
Initial Consultation
During the consultation, you and your Patient Care Coordinator will discuss the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. Your Patient Care Coordinator will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs.
Your Patient Care Coordinator will begin with a general discussion of your thoughts as to 'what you are trying to accomplish'. This is followed by a physical examination to evaluate your overall weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the fat deposits in various parts of your body. A nurse will also take a complete medical history, including any medications that you are currently taking. A careful history of your weight, diet and exercise is important as well.
Keep in mind that the higher your goals, the more you will have to do to achieve those goals. If you are just concerned about removing fat, Liposuction alone will achieve that goal. But if you want an athletic, sculpted look, and you want to look great in a bikini, you may need to incorporate extensive exercise into your plan.
