Are You a Good Candidate for Cleveland Liposuction?
Liposuction allows the removal of fat deposits that may not be responding to exercise or diet. Unevenly distributed fat deposits can make some parts of your body appear to be out of proportion to the rest of your body. This "lumpiness" can be very unattractive and is one of the primary reasons Cleveland men and women seek liposuction cosmetic surgery. If you are battling diet-resistant fat, if your skin still exhibits good elasticity, and if there are minimal amounts of excess skin in the areas to be treated, you are a good candidate for liposuction. Liposuction plastic surgery is a popular remedy for unsightly love handles and saddlebags and is commonly used to remove excess fat from stomach, hips, thighs, calves, ankles, buttocks, back, arms, neck and breasts.
Both women and men seek liposuction
from experienced and licensed Cleveland plastic surgeons.
Liposuction is recognized as a safe, effective, affordable way to instantly trim and reshape the body to achieve a smoother, more pleasing, more youthful contour. In liposuction cosmetic surgery, minute slits are made in the skin and a specialized tool call a cannula is passed through fatty tissue, in effect, "sucking" it out of the body. A state-of-the-art, laser-guided liposuction process called SmartLipo is now being used by Cleveland's most advanced plastic surgeons like Dr. Vicente Poblete. SmartLipo is a safer, faster procedure that provides faster healing times, and is less invasive than traditional liposuction.
Whether traditional liposuction or SmartLipo are used, liposuction results are generally long-lasting, although their permanence can be affected by weight gain, pregnancy, aging and lifestyle issues. Liposuction only removes fat, not skin which can lose elasticity over time. Patients who undergo liposuction but fail to address excess skin may be disappointed in their results. If you are considering Cleveland liposuction and have droopy, excess skin from sudden weight loss or the normal effects of aging, your Cleveland plastic surgeon may recommend that you combine a lift or tuck procedure with liposuction.
