Today, it seems like everyone is striving for perfection. If working out doesn’t fix those problem areas, which for most people are between their waist and knees, they look for other solutions to help redefine or reduce areas that may hamper an otherwise perfect shape.
According to Modern Aesthetics, in 2022 there were over 2.3 million liposuction procedures performed, making it the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the world. Liposuction is followed by:
- Breast augmentation
- Eyelid surgery
- Abdominoplasty
- Breast lift
Rhinoplasty had been in the top 5 procedures for many years, but today it has fallen below the top 5 procedures.
What Is The Liposuction Process?
According to Mayo Clinic, liposuction “removes fat from specific areas of the body.” Most frequently, liposuction targets the stomach, hips, thighs, upper arms, upper legs, and neck. During the process, the liposuction wand is inserted in the problem area and removes excess fat that has accumulated there. The areas are then contoured to look thinner and more refined. It is best for people who have a consistent body weight and not a yoyo dieter whose body weight fluctuates greatly.
In the best cases, the patient has some excess fat in specific areas, as liposuction is not a tool for using weight, but is used to remove extra fat from a normally in-shape person.
Risks With Liposuction:
There is some risk associated with any type of cosmetic or medical procedure, and liposuction is no different. Here are some risks that lipo patients may experience.
- Fluid buildup under the skin needs to be drained.
- Numbness in a treated area.
- Infections of the skin may occur; serious infections which can cause death.
- Kidney and heart problems are due to large amounts of fluid in the body shifting.
Prepare For Liposuction Procedures:
Most cosmetic surgeons, including Joel Aronowitz, will review a patient’s medical history, and ask about existing health issues and any supplements and medications the patient is currently taking. The surgeon will then discuss your expectations for the surgery and tell you what to expect. They may also share photos of before and after patients, so each patient has realistic expectations.
The best prospects for liposuction are people who work out at the gym and diet rigorously but still can not get rid of a little extra padding on their thighs, hips, and abdomen. These people often find that liposuction is the best process to rid their bodies of these problem areas. In many cases, such as liposuction procedures performed by Dr. Joel Aronowitz, they can be done in a comfortable office setting. On rare occasions, the physician may request the procedure be done in a hospital if the patient is at high risk. The surgeon will discuss all these options before the surgery.
