Most people have a vague understanding of liposuction services. While considering plastic surgery options, mandy do not understand what kinds of liposuction procedures are most common in a doctor’s office.
Knowing more about liposuction will help you to make important choices. This information well help you distinguish the services that you get from dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other medical professionals.
Doctors use a tool called a cannula to suck out fat from below the epidermis or skin in various areas of the body. Liposuction isn’t considered extremely invasive, although it does require the insertion of the cannula. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates more than 200,000 of these treatments are performed each year. Liposuction is manageable procedure that does not require a long recovery period.
Liposuction is not commonly used to slim down the body as a whole, or to take away large amounts of accumulated fat from the belly or other areas. For this type of body reduction, exercise and diet are key. Other options include non-surgical treatments such as ReShape, Coolsculpting and Sculpsure.
Liposuction is commonly used to extract small amounts of fat, to gently shape body contours. Using this procedure on buttocks, hips, stomach or other areas will result in slightly different shaping. This accents areas of the body according to the patient’s desired plan.
