Most plastic surgeons are reluctant to perform a liposuction procedure on obese persons because they are not ideal candidates for liposuction. The obese person is likely to put on weight again after a liposuction procedure unless of course he or she is able to initiate and maintain a healthy diet life and exercise consistently.



Liposuction has done a lot of favors for sexually repressed people. There has been an indication that people who formerly avoided sex because of the poor impression they had about their bodies now enjoy sex because of the increase in their self esteem thanks to liposuction.

The number of births that you have held as a woman can affect your decision to have liposuction. Usually, a woman's stomach returns to its original size after the first pregnancy with a little exercise and a good did. Several births can leave a distended belly that is so stretched beyond its limit that exercise would be a total waste of time. If you have a stomach that has been stretched by more than one pregnancy, liposuction could be an ideal solution for you.

Historically, liposuction began with the cutting away of fat cells with a scalpel. The French surgeon Dujarier performed liposuction extensively but was halted in his medical progress when a French model he operated on, ended up with gangrene on her leg. Liposuction has come a long way and has made much progress especially in these modern times.

It is essential to verify the surgical facilities of a hospital before registering for liposuction. This is to ensure that the facilities meet the required standards. Note that the quality of facilities use determines the success and failure of liposuction to a great extent.

Being unhappy with the way you look may not be a very good reason for you to undertake a liposuction surgery. Sometimes, your expectations of a liposuction surgery may far exceed what is feasible and may only plunge you deeper into despair. You need to understand that liposuction is like the groundwork laid for the proper building of a house and is not the actual house itself.

Liposuction is not a replacement for good old fashioned exercise. Exercise is one proved way to loose body fat. What liposuction really addresses is the fat that does not respond to exercise.
