Cosmetic Surgery and Liposuction
Should you just accept the imperfections of your body, or should you opt for cosmetic surgery to fix whatever you feel is wrong with your appearance? This is a personal choice and for many it is not an easy one.
You may have tried to lose weight by dieting or by working out at the gym, but that stubborn layer of fat on your belly or rear end just doesn't budge.
So eventually you might just decide to throw in the towel because it is obvious you will either have to live with the problem for the rest of your life or have it fixed once and for all via surgery.
Liposuction is the most common cosmetic procedure of them all, and 500,000 liposuction operations are performed in the U.
S.
each year.
There are a lot of videos online showing liposuction procedures being performed by doctors and with before and after photos.
There are several surprising things in these photos.
The first is how simple the procedure seems.
The doctor makes a few incisions into the stomach, for example, and also injects a saline solution that contains medications to restrict blood flow and make healing easier.
After preparing the area in such a way an instrument called a cannula is used to literally suck the liquids that have been injected into the stomach along with fat cells.
The doctor almost seems to be sweeping out the fat as if using a small vacuum cleaner of sorts.
Of course the operation is not as simple as it might seem at a glance.
There can be serious complications with any type of surgery.
If you are seriously considering liposuction then you will certainly have an initial consultation with your doctor.
You should ask the doctor how much experience he or she has with this type of operation, since any licensed doctor is permitted to perform liposuction.
Ask about whether or not the doctor is certified to perform these operations.
You need to be perfectly comfortable with your physician and the office staff and confident with his or her ability and experience.
After the operation many cosmetic surgeons report that their patients report a feeling of confidence and well-being they didn't have before, and many are more confident about opening up socially or seeking experiences they wouldn't have attempted before.
