Body fat liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) can address
There are two types of body fat, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the type of body fat that can be seen beneath the skin. For most of us, about 80% of our body fat is this type of fat. Those who want to know how to get rid of body fat with liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) will learn that subcutaneous fat can be treated with the liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) procedure.
Visceral fat, on the other hand, is the fat that surrounds the organs. It can lead to several types of health concerns, including obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Only an improved diet and a good exercise routine can help to target the visceral fat.
Who is the best candidate for liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy)?
The ideal candidate for the liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) procedure is the adult man or woman who is in good overall physical shape. As liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) cannot be used as a substitute for healthy weight loss, it’s important that you be as close to your ideal weight as possible. We recommend that you be within 20-30% of your ideal weight prior to undergoing the liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) procedure. As with most plastic surgeries, it’s also suggested that your weight be stable for several months, as any weight fluctuations can potentially alter the results of your procedure.
Patients who undergo liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) should be non-smokers who don’t have any medical conditions that could potentially result in complications during surgery and the healing process.
Where can liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) be used?
Liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) can be used on any area of the body where you have stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Both men and women can benefit from the contouring process, in areas that include the following:
- Chest, particularly for breast reduction procedures
- Stomach, and often combined with a tummy tuck
- Thighs, hips and inside knees
- Ankles and calves
- Upper arms and underarms
- Back, particularly around the bra areas
- Buttocks
Liposuction (Suction Assisted Lipectomy) can’t be used as a replacement for weight loss or as a treatment for obesity. Only eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise can help you to lose weight and to address obesity concerns. This healthy lifestyle can also help to address the unhealthy visceral fat that can potentially lead to a number of health problems.
