Who's a Good Candidate for Lipo?
|
It is normal and necessary to have a certain amount of fat in the body. It serves to insulate and protect the body and internal organs. It is only when fat accumulates under the skin and distorts the body outline that it can be safely removed. Some areas where this particularly happens are the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, buttocks, upper back, and neck. Even individuals dedicated to a healthy diet and physical fitness may experience stubborn fat deposits resulting from genetics, body chemistry, aging and other causes. Liposuction provides the best results for individuals who: - Are physically fit - Exercise regularly - Are not more than 25 lbs. overweight - Do not smoke - Have tried and failed through diet and exercise to get rid of the fat deposits - Are socially embarrassed by local areas of fat Advantages of Tumescent Liposuction In the early days of liposuction, surgeons attempted to remove the fat cells without injecting any fluid first. That proved to be troublesome, and tumescent liposuction improved on it by having quite a large volume of saline solution injected before fat removal starts. The saline solution contains lidocaine as an anesthetic and epinephrine to shrink blood vessels and reduce bleeding. It is matched in salinity with the body's natural salt content. When the fatty tissue is suctioned out, the saline solutions comes out with it, diluting the fatty tissue and helping to give smoother results. - The use of local rather than general anesthesia eliminates nausea and other side effects - Recovery time is reduced - Blood and fluid loss decreases - Lidocaine blocks what might otherwise be felt as a stinging sensation - No need for IV fluids during the procedure - The more advanced micro-cannula reduces post-surgical bruising and swelling - Smaller incisions mean reduced scarring For some individuals, flabby skin continues to be a problem after the liposuction procedure has removed the underlying fat. SmartLipo may be a good option for these patients, because it is more effective at tightening skin while removing fat deposits. Individuals who are very overweight and have many areas of large fat deposits are not good candidates for liposuction. They will be asked to lose weight first through diet and exercise or perhaps through gastric bypass surgery if they are obese. Obese people who lose a great deal of weight in anticipation of liposuction may find an abdominoplasty is also necessary to remove excess skin and tighten muscles. As with all cosmetic surgery, it is vital to have realistic expectations for the outcome of your procedure. Liposuction can do wonders to improve the shape of your body and improve self-esteem, but it will not change who you are.
