Pratt, Pratt Plastic Surgery today to learn more about this procedure from professionals who have your comfort and safety foremost in mind.
Liposuction is a surprisingly simple concept. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that improves the body’s contours by removing excess fat deposits. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube called a cannula. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat deposits through small incisions in the skin. The fat is removed through the cannula which creates small tunnels in the fatty deposits. After the surgery is completed, these small tunnels collapse and result in improved body contours.
Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgery in the United States. Liposuction is a relatively safe procedure that can have very desirable results for many people when it is performed by a highly trained and skilled plastic surgeon. However, liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss or dieting.
What Should I Look For in a Liposuction Surgeon?
Although liposuction is a simple concept, it is important you choose a highly qualified, skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Your chosen surgeon should be a board certified plastic surgeon, which indicates your surgeon has had extra specialized training. Not all cosmetic plastic surgeons have these qualifications.
Your surgeon should have specialized training in body contouring. For the best result for your body, choose a surgeon who considers liposuction an area of their expertise. Ask your surgeon to show you before and after pictures of recent patients who have undergone liposuction.
Does your surgeon have a good reputation in your community? Ask other physicians and health care professionals about the liposuction surgeon you are considering. How many liposuction procedures has your chosen surgeon performed? A surgeon who performs three or four per week might prove to be more competent than a surgeon who performs only a few every year.
