Liposuction - 5 Frequently Asked Questions

Busy, busy, busy. That is the motto for most of us today. The time for home cooking rather than convenience food is decreasing all a rapid rate. The result is slowly but surely we are all getting bigger. Liposuction can help shift the fat along with better diet and a bit more activity.

Women typically gain the extra lumps and bumps of fat round the hips and thighs while for men its the belly. Liposuction used over several areas makes a real difference.

Liposuction can't make you thin and keep you that way. It can add into the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction means having some of your fat sucked out from under your skin in the lumpy, bumpy areas. It can be done on most parts of your body but the most frequent areas are thighs, tummy, knees, arms, back and neck.

It is a common procedure that can have excellent results but of course there are limits on how liposuction can be done. The more fat is removed from the body then the greater the trauma to the body. If too much fat is removed you may go into shock and need prolonged hospital treatment.

Hospitals stays are to be avoided if possible so surgeons limit the amount of fat removed. The good news is that modern surgery is constantly evolving so your surgeon will be able to explain all your options.

Is a night in hospital needed?

Most people having liposuction can go home on the same day and do not need an overnight stay. It depends on how much liposuction you are having and any other plastic surgery procedures you have at the same time.

Do I need a general anesthetic?

Many operations including liposuction can now be carried out using local anesthetic and short acting sedatives. So you're pain free and drowsy but wake up quickly. A happy side effect of sedatives is loss of short-term memory so you may not even remember your operation.

Is liposuction safe?

Liposuction is very safe. Although it is major surgery with properly trained surgeons and nurses there are not many serious problems afterwards. The key is to use a fully trained cosmetic or plastic surgeon with a professional attitude and practice.

Can I have liposuction more than once?

You can have several liposuction procedures but it is better to moderate your diet and exercise a bit more. Repeat operations become more difficult and have a higher complication rate. Chat with your surgeon and get their opinion.

Liposuction remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures because in expert hands it works and works well. For those hard to shift areas it is a boon.
