Our modern lifestyle with long work hours, commuting, lack of time and ready made meals is changing our body shape and not for the better. The great news is that liposuction can help with reducing some of the unsightly areas of your body.
Men and women get fatter in different parts of the body. Men tend to get a big stomach while women put on fat typically round the hips and thighs. The good news is that liposuction can easily get rid of some of your fat.
Unfortunately, liposuction is not a panacea to all your weight problems. In combination with a good diet and exercise it works well.
Liposuction? Tell me more
When you have liposuction fat is removed from your body. It is possible for most bits of your body to be liposuctioned but your tummy, thighs, back, neck and knees are the commonest areas.
You cannot have too much fat removed during the operation without risking serious problems and several days unwell in hospital. Surgeons know and recognise this and tens of thousands of patients have liposuction and are very happy.
Hospitals stays are to be avoided if possible so surgeons limit the amount of fat removed. The good news is that modern surgery is constantly evolving so your surgeon will be able to explain all your options.
Will I need to stay in hospital?
Most people having liposuction can go home on the same day and do not need an overnight stay. It depends on how much liposuction you are having and any other plastic surgery procedures you have at the same time.
Will I be asleep?
Many operations including liposuction can now be carried out using local anesthetic and short acting sedatives. So you're pain free and drowsy but wake up quickly. A happy side effect of sedatives is loss of short-term memory so you may not even remember your operation.
Is Liposuction a safe operation?
The risk of complications following liposuction is very low so it is a safe procedure. Trained and skilful surgeons, professional staff and modern techniques are your best defence against problems.
Can I have liposuction more than once?
You can have several liposuction procedures but it is better to moderate your diet and exercise a bit more. Repeat operations become more difficult and have a higher complication rate. Chat with your surgeon and get their opinion.
For the very good reason that it works, liposuction is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery operations. In the right hands it is the answer to all those areas where the fat just will not go.
