Liposuction Helps Reduce Fat and Diseases

Liposuction is the process of removing fat deposits from underneath the skin of the body via a hollow stainless steel tube, which is called a cannula, with the help of an incredibly powerful vacuum. When having liposuction performed, most people have the procedure performed under general anesthesia but it can also be done with local anesthesia and heavy sedation with anesthesia through and IV. Liposuction is also referred to as lipoplasty, liposculpture and suction lipectomy. The procedure is a form of cosmetic surgery, which means that health insurance will not cover the expenses. So, anyone having this procedure performed will need to pay the couple thousand of dollars to have it performed out of their own pocket.

Liposuction should never be used to replace dieting and regular exercise. When trying to lose weight, always attempt a healthy diet first paired with a regular exercise routine. Most people will find success in dieting and exercise and won't need to have surgery performed to help remove excess fat. But, if diet and exercise do fail, the other option available is to have liposuction performed to remove those fatty deposits beneath the skin that seem to stick around even after a rigorous diet and exercise routine. Don't give up on the diet and exercise quickly. Make sure these options are used for at least six months before deciding about surgery.

Not many know this but doctors typically cannot remove more than 10 pounds at a time when performing an liposuction procedure. The amount of pounds that is removed is usually based on the doctor, the patient's health, the method being used, and where that fat is being removed from on the body. Don't forget; the more fat that is removed with this procedure, the lumpier the skin becomes. Also, if there is too much fat removed during the procedure, the patient's body will have dents in it that will be noticeable to the naked eye.

The most popular areas to have an liposuction performed on are the abdomen and the thighs of both men and women alike. This procedure can also be performed on the buttocks and the back but those areas are not as popular when it comes to removing unwanted fatty deposits. Once the fatty deposits are removed, the doctor must now contour the body to make sure it looks presentable. If the body is not contoured there will be loose and saggy skin, dents, and lumpy skin in the areas that had fat removed from them.

To be a candidate for this procedure the patient should be at least 18 years or older, be in good general health, have tried dieting and exercise for more than six months, and find that there are still 10 or 15 pounds in certain pockets of the body that exercise just can't remove. Anyone that has a heart condition, diabetes, an infection, or circulation problems will not be permitted by the doctor to have an liposuction procedure performed on their body. This procedure can run anywhere from $2,000-$7,000 each time.
