How to Prepare for Liposuction Surgery

Are you fed up with that stubborn fat that just won’t go away even with a strict diet and exercise? 

Then, Liposuction might just be a great way for you to get rid of that extra fat.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure by which a cosmetic surgeon can sculpt a better shape to almost any area of the body, achieving dramatic improvements with subtle changes. Both men and women undergo liposuction every year to achieve their desired goals.

Liposuction is the gold standard in body contouring because of its versatility, efficiency, and effectiveness.

According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2021, Liposuction procedure metrics displayed an increase in 2021 of more than 66%, as compared to 2020.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction (also known as fat removal surgery) is a procedure performed to remove parts of fat resistant to diet and exercise. However, it is not a weight loss procedure, instead, it is a way to remove a pocket of fat.

It is not an elective procedure but a type of cosmetic procedure.

What are the common body areas where Liposuction can be performed?

Some common areas include:

• Double Chin

• Back of Neck

• Bottom of Upper Arms

• Female Breasts

• Outer Thighs or Saddlebags

• Bra Strap Area

• Abdomen or Belly Pooch

• Muffin Top

• Love Handles

Who is an Ideal candidate for Liposuction?

The ideal liposuction candidate should have the following characteristics:

• Healthy patients i.e without any medical conditions

• Patients who are near their goal weight  

• Patients who don’t have smoking habits

• The elasticity of the skin is also an important factor as a patient with good skin elasticity will get the best surgery results. If the patient has loose skin or cellulite, you could have uneven or dimpled liposuction results.
