Are you considering having liposuction but aren't too clear about the benefits and disadvantages of the procedure? Make an informed decision by reading this quick guide to the pros and cons of this cosmetic surgery.
The right candidate
Before you consider having liposuction, it's important to know that not everyone is an ideal candidate for the procedure. A good candidate should be in good general health and have good skin elasticity. They should also be close to their ideal weight already since liposuction isn't a quick weight loss solution. If the candidate's weight has often fluctuated up and down, it may indicate they are not suited to his type of treatment - instead liposuction is recommended for candidates who have found certain areas of fat difficult to shift after traditional weight loss methods such as diet control and exercise. Other candidates who may be considered unsuitable for treatment include those who are overweight and have unrealistic expectations about the treatment.
Pros
Liposuction is favored by those looking to get rid of body fat that has been difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise. The stomach area is a particular problem area that people complain is difficult to get into shape. This means that if you are close to your ideal weight and shape, but want to remove hard-to-budge areas of fat, liposuction can help you reach your ideal body shape. It is great for getting rid of additional fat in areas such as the underarms, lower stomach and small pockets of fat below the buttocks. It has the best results on younger candidates who have good skin elasticity making their healing process easier and the final results more visually pleasing. Another obvious bonus is that liposuction has faster and more dramatic results than diet and exercise and most patients are able to return to work after 1-2 weeks.
Finally, one of liposuction's greatest benefits is that it completely removes fat cells for good. This means they will not be replaced by the body and excess fat in that area of the body will not return.
Cons
While recovery time is quick, liposuction may leave some scaring and some scars and bruises which eventually fade may still be apparent after a few months. Since every patient has different levels of skin elasticity, some may find it takes up to six months for the skin to re-mould itself around the body's new shape. For others, further surgery may be required to remove excess skin. If the candidate goes on to gain more weight, they should be aware that their excess fat may settle into new areas of the body (since it excludes the areas that have been treated). This may significantly change the shape of their body.
Liposuction is also a surgical procedure so there are the obvious risks associated with having surgery and going under anesthesia. These include accidental injury of other organs in the abdomen, risk of blood clots, excessive bleeding after surgery, infection of surgical incisions and even death in extreme situations. However, a good liposuction surgeon will explain these risks to you and finding a reliable and experienced practitioner will minimize the risks of the liposuction procedure.
The risks associated with this surgery also increase if the candidate is undergoing excessive liposuction and depends on the amount of fat being removed and the different areas being treated.
When consulting experienced Denver liposuction practitioners make sure you clear up all of your questions and doubts before signing on for the procedure.
