You’ve had children and your tummy hangs out. No matter what diet you try, you can’t get rid of the fat on your thighs and buttocks. Your love handles just won’t disappear. What can you do?
Have you thought about liposuction? This procedure can remove fat from almost every part of your body and reduces and reshapes each area, resulting in a slimmer you. What liposuction cannot do is treat obesity. Diet and exercise are still the best treatment for an overweight body.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Good candidates for liposuction have the following traits:
- Not excessively overweight – within 30% of your ideal body weight.
- Firm skin and good muscle tone
- No severe illnesses or conditions that would hinder the healing process.
- Nonsmoker – most cosmetic surgeons will not operate on smokers because of the damage smoking causes the skin.
What Are the Risks of the Procedure?
There are a few risks you should be aware of, although they are rare:
- Anesthesia
- Infection
- Blood clots in the legs
- Body contours that are irregular or misshapen
- Persistent numbness
- Accumulation of fluid
- Swelling
- The necessity of a second procedure
Any surgical procedure has risks, although they are rare. You need to discuss them with your surgeon, who should be willing to explain everything to you.
