Is Liposuction Right for You?

Liposuction is a body contouring surgery in which your excess fat beneath the skin is removed using specialized techniques.  The plastic surgeons at The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery are able to deliver natural-looking results with their meticulous techniques and in-depth knowledge of beauty and anatomy.

You Have Stubborn Fat That Won’t Go Away

Liposuction removes the superficial fat, which is a type of fat that is mostly determined by your genes; this is different from the deeper visceral fat, which is closely tied to obesity and poor lifestyle choices–e.g., unhealthy food and sedentary living. Hence, some people with a normal weight may have fat bulges that won’t go away even with the most rigorous exercise and diet.

You are Close to Your Ideal Weight

As a body contouring surgery, liposuction only suits patients who are at or near their ideal weight.  After all, it only eliminates the superficial fat, not the obesity-related visceral fat that only responds to weight loss.

You Have Elastic Skin

To ensure smooth results, your skin must be able to snap back to the new contour.  Simply put, the right candidate for liposuction should have good skin elasticity and muscle tone.

You are Committed to Living a Healthy Lifestyle

While this treatment does remove fat permanently, the results can only be maintained through regular exercise and a healthy diet.

You Have Realistic Goals and Expectations

As an elective surgery, liposuction only suits people with realistic goals and expectations regarding the procedure, the recovery, and the results.  This means that your results will not just depend on the surgeon’s skills, but also on your underlying anatomy.
