Understanding Liposculpture Cosmetic Surgery

By Pier Montague

Cosmetic surgery is an extremely popular procedure performed in the USA and across the world. Americans alone seek nearly 400,000 liposculpture treatments each year! Liposculpture, also commonly referred to as liposuction, is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed. The treatments vary depending on the body part but all have one thing in common: taking fat out of the body that the patient doesn't want. This could be from the arms, thighs, waist, and even facial area of the patient.

A responsible cosmetic surgeon, however, will advise that liposculpture is not a weight-loss method, and should not be undertaken to substitute for exercise and dieting in order to reduce weight. Liposculpture is a cosmetic operation on body contouring and is an invasive procedure that carries many risks just like any surgery.

The amount of fat that is removed through liposculpture will vary depending on the decision of the doctor upon close examination of and consultation with the patient. But typically, for the procedure to be safe the amount of fat taken away should be less than 5 kg or 10 pounds. Removing too much fat will produce undesirable results.

One effect that removing too much fat can lead to problems with the skin. This can manifest in the forms of odd looking wrinkles, dents, and bumps where the procedure was performed. The health of the patient going into the procedure also is a huge factor in minimizing - or maximizing - the risks of surgery. For instance, smokers should refrain from indulging in the habit for at least a month, preferably longer, before receiving treatments.

If a patient is careful to observe all their doctor recommendations before going in for surgery, they are more likely to reap the benefits than others. The biggest benefit, of course, is shedding those unwanted pounds of fat! Beyond this though, body contouring can go along way in improving the appearance of the legs, waist, and so on. Additionally, liposculpture can also help remove cellulite.

Remember though that these effects do not happen all at once. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after surgery to see the total benefits of the procedure manifest in the body. In this time, the body might look strange due to swelling or numbing. That being the case though, most people can return to their daily life within a week of having received treatments. - 27772
