Liposuction; Is It For Me?
Liposuction is an elective option for those that want fast, efficient fat loss. We discuss below what you should know before considering liposuction treatment:
How does it work?
During the procedure, the doctor will make small incisions into your skin. The focus is on removing the fatty layer found between the abdominal wall and your skin. It can help you remove some bulges, but it won’t tighten the skin. That’s where a tummy tuck comes into play. Both procedures can be efficient, yet it’s up to you to narrow down what works for you.
Does your current weight matter?
These methods are meant to remove body fat. They are not intended to be a weight loss procedure. The truth is that removing body fat won’t make a difference if you have an unhealthy lifestyle. You must change your diet, exercise, and those things will help you keep the weight off.
If you don’t, then you will accumulate more body fat and that becomes a problem. That’s why people who want to have a liposuction procedure should have a BMI of 30 or less to avoid risks. In fact, a BMI under 28 is ideal, since that’s offering the best long term results.
Is the liposuction process safe?
Liposuction is a procedure that has been around for many years. It’s dependable, efficient, and it allows you to remove a lot of body fat. It has great benefits, but you shouldn’t expect it to be the ultimate weight loss option. You still need to optimise your lifestyle and that alone will take quite a bit of time. That’s why you need to exercise and also eat healthily in order for this to work.
We highly recommend talking with a doctor beforehand. They will explain how the liposuction process works, and also they can assess your current situation. That helps them determine whether it’s a good option for you or if it’s not the case. If you’d like to learn more about general surgery risks and complications, visit this page.
