Liposuction is used to remove deposits of fat from the body that have proven resistant to exercise and dietary changes. A body contouring option, it is ideal for men and women who are close to their goal weight and on the cusp of or at the higher end of a healthy BMI.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but it can be used to eliminate stubborn deposits of fat from nearly any area of the body. Popular liposuction treatment areas include:
- Ankles and calves
- Thighs, buttocks, and hips
- Abdomen and lower back
- Upper back and arms
Liposuction can also be used to remove fat deposits from the chest and neck, with modern lipo techniques allowing for treatment of more than one area at a time.
Good Liposuction Candidates
To be a good liposuction candidate, you will need to be:
- Close to your goal weight
- A non-smoker
- In generally good health
- Able to take time off to recover
- Willing to follow pre and postoperative directions
- Realistic in your goals and expectations
Liposuction results are permanent in that fat, once removed, cannot come back. New fat can, however, begin to accumulate if you do not take steps to maintain your body contouring results. Being willing to lead a healthy lifestyle is another important consideration when looking to liposuction for assistance in reaching your goals.
