We all seem to have less time nowadays for anything but work and it shows as we are all getting fatter. Fortunately liposuction is available as an aid to shifting some those unsightly lumps of fat.

Weight gain and fat distribution is different between men and women. Men tend to grow a large belly and women find the hips and thighs to be the problem areas. Fortunately liposuction can be used to reduce your fat and smooth out your appearance.

Unfortunately, liposuction is not a panacea to all your weight problems. In combination with a good diet and exercise it works well.

What is liposuction?

During liposuction fat is vacuumed out from the surface of your body. Most frequently the tummy, back, thighs, knees and neck receive treatment but nowadays it is possible to liposuction most of your body.

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.

To prevent these problems surgeons limit how much fat they remove at each operation. Fortunately surgical know how gets better all the time so at your consultation your surgeon will outline both your options and the limits.

Will I require an overnight stay?

Overnight stays are getting less common as procedures improve. Other cosmetic procedures performed at the same time as liposuction may need an overnight stay.

Will I need an anesthetic?

More and more liposuction is being carried out with local anesthetic and light sedation. This combination means you are pain free during the procedure and sleepy but able to talk if needed. Best of all you probably will not remember anything until after its all over.

Liposuction - a safe procedure?

Liposuction is major surgery but like most surgery nowadays it has a low risk of complications. Properly trained and qualified surgeons combined with well-trained staff and modern equipment lead to very safe surgery.

Can I have liposuction more than once?

Liposuction can be carried out several times especially on different areas of the body. You would need time to fully heal from one surgery before the next. Have a talk with your cosmetic surgeon and he or she will be able to give you a timescale, but it is better to avoid repeat operations.

For the very good reason that it works, liposuction is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery operations. In the right hands it is the answer to all those areas where the fat just will not go.
