Most of us know how frustrating those excercise resistant fat cells on the stomach, thighs, hips and arms can be. For those who are healthy, who exercise regurlarly, but just cant seem to get rid of that extra fatliposuction is a viable cosmetic surgery option. Liposuction improves the appearance of body areas that have concentrated amounts of visible fat. Through a vacuum-like process, the fat is removed, creating a smoother, more attractive body contour and better self image. Various liposuction methods include the standard tumescent technique, ultrasound-assisted (UAL), and the most recent variations of liposuction including Liposelection and SmartLipo. With all the varieties of lipo available out there, not to mention all of the non-surgical cellulite removal treatments (Mesotherapy, VelaSmooth, and Endermologie to name a few), its hard to know where to begin. Thats where a consultation with a certified liposuction surgeon comes into play. Every surgeon has his or her own favorite technique of liposuction based on the results theyve had with their patients, but most importantly, based on each patients unique case. Any reputable surgeon should be able to explain their liposuction technique clearly and thoroughly enough to give you all the information you need to feel confident in your decision.
