What is liposuction?
A
cannula (tube) is inserted thru a very small incision to suction the
fat. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking
up the fat cells and vacuuming them out. The suction action is provided
a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference.
282,876 people underwent liposuction surgery in 2002 making liposuction
the second most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.
Is
liposuction right for me?
Check
with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate
for liposuction. The best patients for liposuction are of normal-weight
with firm, elastic skin that have excess fat in particular regions.
How
do I obtain the best results?
Liposuction
is no different than any other plastic surgery procedure in that the
key to a good outcome is to find the right plastic surgeon to perform
your procedure. Please see our plastic
surgeon directory for referrals and research
your plastic surgeon.
Are
certain people at additional risk?
Yes,
if you have diabetes, major heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation,
or recently had surgery near the area to be liposuctioned.
What
if I catch a cold or other infection?
Call
your surgeon, he or she may want you to reschedule.
What
should I do before surgery?
Choose
the right surgeon, Also see Tips, Diet
And Nutrition page and Pills NOT to take.
