Liposuction Columbus OH - Is There A Perfect Candidate For Liposuction?
Just like almost all other cosmetic surgeries, the best patients for liposuction are those who are relatively young, very healthy and who have relatively small, isolated fat pockets to be removed with firm, elastic skin overlying those areas.
Most legitimate plastic surgeons and our national societies such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) have gone to great lengths to educate the public on plastic surgery and, in particular, liposuction. Despite these efforts, it is still widely believed that liposuction is for removing large amounts of fat in heavy patients. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Liposuction is not a weight loss program. Heavy patients should lose as much of their excess as they can prior to considering liposuction or any type of body contouring surgery. By losing weight before having liposuction, the surgeon can then concentrate on the pockets of fat that have been more resistant to weight loss, diet and exercise.
Studies have shown that patients who prove that they can control their weight prior to surgery have more satisfying long-term results from body contouring such as liposuction and tummy tucks.
Particularly when it comes to the abdominal area, the quality of the skin has a lot to do with the results of liposuction. Patients who have had several children and have gained considerable weight with pregnancy, tend to have more excess skin and stretch marks which won’t go away with liposuction. These women are generally better candidates for some type of tummy tuck which gets rid of excess skin, tightens the abdominal muscles and removes most of the lower stomach fat. Only a very limited amount of fat can be removed from the abdomen with liposuction during a full tummy tuck; more aggressive liposuctioning can be done during a mini-tummy tuck.
