A Brief Explanation about What Liposuction Is

Liposuction involves use of a surgical procedure that helps in improving the contours of a person’s body which of course is best achieved through removal of excessive fat in certain parts of the body. The term “Lipo” is derived from Greek (“lipos”) which means fat and so liposuction really means sucking out the fat. Other terms used to describe the same procedure include lipoplasty as well as suction lipectomy.

Use Of Suction

Liposuction obviously means use of suction in order to eliminate fatty deposits and the suction is affected by using a device resembling a vacuum cleaner while in other cases the suction is achieved through use of a large sized syringe. A small sized incision is made in the body through which the suction device is inserted and the surgeon then begins suctioning out all the fatty tissues.

Liposuction is a good alternative solution to weight loss and is well suited for use on people with excessive fat on their bodies. In addition, it offers better results as it smoothens the body and trims it by removing pockets of unwanted fat that do not seem to go away through weight loss procedures or even through use of exercise.

People that are well suited for undergoing liposuction include anyone whose weight is near normal and who have excessive fat but whose skin is firm. You also need to be healthy – psychologically as well as physically and in addition you should not have unrealistic expectations from what you can expect from this surgical procedure.

The main advantage of using liposuction is that it will remove fat from various parts of the body including hips, thighs, abdomen, breasts, buttock, waist and upper arms as well as from the neck. Over the recent past many improvements have been made that have improved current liposuction techniques which are why it has become so popular among people in all parts of the world.

In fact, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in the year 1998 alone more than two hundred thousand Americans underwent liposuction and ever since its introduction in the eighties, this form of fat removal procedure has become safer to use which means better equipment is now being used and so there is less risk from side effects, especially those such as swelling and bleeding.

There is however an altogether different type of liposuction and in fact it is because of this particular method that liposuction has become the most popular form of cosmetic surgery in the entire United States. The end result is that with the help of this new method called tumescent liposuction surgeons are now able to perform better contouring which provides results that are far superior to what you would get from using ordinary liposuction.
