The search for the leanest and curviest bodies in the universe is on and everyone is in the running for the first place.
Anybody who has become complacent enough to have grown bulges here are there are blessed with the knowledge that when dieting and all else fails, there is always liposuction.
Most people find liposuction as an effective procedure that can guarantee body sculpting through the removal of unwanted and excess fat in certain parts of the body.
Among the body parts that are difficult to trim down even with weight loss includes the belly, chin, hips, arms and even the cheeks.
It s foolhardy for anyone to think that liposuction can help them become slim once again.
Liposuction may be effective but it should not be used as a substitute for the natural way of losing fat through exercise and proper diet.
However, this procedure can be used by people who have already lost weight but could not bring back their old body shapes.
Liposuction should only be availed of be people who have elastic skins and have healthy bodies.
Those who have diabetes or heart disease should think twice about getting liposuction because of the risk they have to face.
In most cases, the surgeon who will perform the procedure will evaluate the overall physical status of the person before sanctioning liposuction.
It is also advisable for the patient to discuss the procedure with his surgeon so he will get acquainted with the procedure and will It is important that both patient and surgeon discuss the procedure and the expected result so that any expectation the patient might have will be realistic.
Such discussion will also enable the surgeon to make the most of the procedure to the benefit f the patient.
Liposuction has become so popular that there are several choices as to the techniques that should be used during the procedure.
Such techniques are more familiar with the surgeon so it is best to talk it over with him and get his advice on the treatment that would benefit you most.
There are other considerations that should be thought of before choosing the right liposuction technique and this includes the cost of the technique, the recovery period, the pain factor and the risks involved.
Discussing these factors with the surgeon before the actual procedure will help the patient be more relaxed and confident about the procedure.
Liposuction is done by removing excess fat from certain parts of the body.
This is accomplished with the use of a cannula or a stainless tube and a vacuum to suck out all the extra fat under the skin.
The patient can choose to be heavily sedated during the entire procedure but even the type of anesthesia to be used should also be discussed with the surgeon due to the complications and dangers that may possibly arise, The patient can choose from several liposuction techniques such as the dry technique, super wet, tumescent or that assisted by ultrasound.
Each of these techniques has its own advantages and risks and the patient should get to know each technique to be able to make an intelligent choice.
The tumescent and super wet techniques are more or less similar in terms of the injection of liquids in the area to be corrected.
Liposuction takes too much liquid from the body especially from the area being treated and the two techniques aims to replenish in some way the lost liquids.
An older technique known as the dry technique is done without injecting any liquid in the area to be treated.
However, this technique is no longer commonly used today.
More patients now opt for the newer ultrasound-assisted liposuction because it is safer and causes less traumatic to the body.
The patient and surgeon should discuss the technique to be used based on the preference of the patient and also on other factors like the exact area to be treated and the amount or extent of excess fat to be removed.
