The Pros And Cons Of Lipo Procedures

By Joshua Thompson


The majority of people continually strive to better their bodies. They diet and they exercise. Most modern people pay attention to their grooming. They want to look good and they want to feel good about how they look. This is one of the reasons why cosmetic surgery has experienced such a massive increase in popularity. In fact, it has become commonplace. Lipo is one of those procedures that are now commonly performed, even in places as remote as Walnut Creek.

Liposuction is not a recent development. This type of procedure was performed as long ago as the early nineteen twenties. It never took of because their were simply too many complications such as gangrene, extreme pain and sometimes even death. In the early nineteen eighties French surgeons introduced new, safer techniques and liposuction very quickly became extremely popular. Today it is viewed as a standard plastic surgery procedure.

Liposuction can be used to get rid of fat in many parts of the body. Male clients most often require the removal of fat from their breasts a d to get rid of their double chins. The procedure is also popular for removing fat from the breasts, the thighs, the calves, cheeks, chins and the area under the upper arms. In some cases liposuction can be performed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure.

Liposuction is not a miracle surgical technique that will make all unwanted fat disappear. Removing too much fat in one session can result in serious complications and can indeed affect the long term health of the patient. Patients should also accept the fact that this procedure is not a convenient replacement for exercise and for following a balanced diet.

Patients that will benefit from and that qualifies for liposuction needs to be non smokers and they must be fit. They should have good muscle tone and their skins should be firm and elastic. Potential patients must be healthy and they must not suffer from any dread disease, heart problems, hypertension, cholesterol or diabetes. Surgeons prefer patients that are within thirty per cent of their ideal body weight.

No surgical procedure is without risks and free of side effects. After liposuction, patients can expect swelling, mild pain and some bruising. This will disappear within a few weeks. Scarring can take up to a year to heal and in some cases the scars never go away and require further surgery to correct the problem. In rare cases patients develop infection. It is also possible that the patient end up with unsightly bumpy skin.

When thinking about undergoing liposuction it is important to approach a surgeon that has experience in this specific procedure. It is also vital to make sure that the surgeon is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The surgeon should provide the prospective patient with full information on how the procedure will be performed and also about the side effects that can be expected and the risks that the patient will be running.

Liposuction can do much for the self esteem of those patients that qualify for this procedure. While there are risks, liposuction is deemed to be safe, as long as the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. It is important, however, that patients do not harbour unrealistic expectations.
