What is liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is the process by which excess fat deposits are surgically removed using a cannula and body contours reshaped, resulting in a slimmer body and increased self-confidence for the patient.

The first liposuction surgery was performed in 1974 and was a major advancement in body contouring techniques. Liposuction procedures soon became very popular and are now performed world-wide.

It must be remembered that liposuction does not substitute a healthy diet and exercise and can not solve a patients’ cellulite problem. It’s also important to know that an internationally accepted standard states that no more than three liters of fat can be removed in any given procedure.

Liposuction is often combined with other plastic surgeries, such as face lift surgery, tummy tuck or breast reduction surgery.

Benefits of a liposuction procedure

It is worth mentioning that a liposuction procedure is not only for overweight persons, it can also be an ideal solution for those who would like to remove unwanted fat from specific areas, such as the hip, knee, arm, neck, thigh, back, chin, or buttocks. Many of us have areas of our body which we can’t tone, no matter how hard we diet or exercise; often this problem is determined genetically. If you are overweight, and have so far been unsuccessful in losing weight, liposuction might be the solution for your problem. Liposuction not only offers physical benefits but the psychological repercussions of being overweight are eliminated, giving the patient a healthier self esteem and a renewed confidence and outlook on life.

Liposuction is also appropriate for women and men who are considering breast reduction or gyanecomastia.
