Do you want to look fit, but diets and fitness programs do not work for your body? Trying to eliminate pockets of excess fat that accumulate on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other areas of the body can be a frustrating process. There is a solution! What about getting the perfect body and the perfect vacation with one trip?
What Is Liposuction
Liposuction is the most common and safe modality for body contouring, very popular among men and women of all age groups. Also known as lipoplasty, liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. In recent years, improved techniques have made this cosmetic procedure safer, easier, and less painful.
Liposuction procedures vary depending on: the location of fat to be removed, the type of fat, the goals of the patient and the plastic surgeon’s recommendation. With the many medical advances, you now can choose a non-invasive procedure using lasers or even ultrasound energy:
- Laser-Assisted Liposuction
- PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction)
- SAL (Suction Assisted Liposuction)
- TCAL (Twin Cannula Assisted Liposuction)
- Tumescent Liposuction
- UAL (Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction)
Why Is Liposuction Done
- The main purpose is to reshape one or more areas of your body, not to reduce body weight.
- It is typically used on “problem” areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise.
- It is sometimes used in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a “tummy tuck” (abdominoplasty), breast reduction, or face-lift.
- It may also be used to treat certain medical conditions, including:
- Benign fatty tumors (lipomas).
- Abnormal enlargement of the male breasts (gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia).
- Problems with metabolism of fat in the body (lipodystrophy).
- Excessive sweating in the armpit area (axillary hyperhidrosis).
