Despite our best efforts to maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise, there are instances when desired results remain elusive. We understand the frustration of stubborn pockets of fat, even with a healthy lifestyle. Factors such as genetics, age, pregnancy, and weight changes can hinder achieving a slim figure. Liposuction provides a solution by effectively eliminating fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, legs, back, upper arms, chin, neck, and love handles.
Understanding The Capabilities And Limitations Of Liposuction
Liposuction is primarily designed for fat removal but should not be mistaken as a method for weight loss. It is not intended to address obesity, as it is unsafe to extract significant volumes of fat. Liposuction is most effective for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Patients on a weight management journey, whether through bariatric surgery or other means, may consider liposuction once they have achieved a healthy and stable weight to enhance their body contours.
Is Liposuction Right For Me?
We invite you to schedule a consultation appointment with our surgeon at Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center. If you and the surgeon agree that liposuction is appropriate for you, comprehensive pre-operative guidelines will be provided.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction is an outpatient surgery typically performed under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia may be used for smaller treatment areas. Your surgeon will use a cannula through small incisions to suction out the fat.
Recovery Time
Temporary side effects such as swelling and bruising are common after the surgery. A compression garment can help reduce swelling in the treated areas.
Am I A Candidate For Liposuction?
Ideal candidates are in good general health, within 30% of their ideal body weight, and have good skin elasticity. Candidates with smoking habits, cardiovascular problems, or medical conditions that hinder healing are not suitable for liposuction.
Can Fat Reappear In Different Areas After Liposuction?
This is a misconception about liposuction. When fat is removed, the fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve your lean and toned appearance. Weight gain may cause fat cells in other areas to expand, as the regions where fat was removed can no longer accumulate fat.
What Are The Risks Of Liposuction?
Potential risks of liposuction include blood loss, blood clots, fat embolism, and infection. At Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center, we prioritize patient safety. While every surgical procedure carries potential complications, choosing a skilled surgeon can help mitigate these risks.
Can Liposuction Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Liposuction is often performed alongside various cosmetic surgery procedures to enhance body contours.
