In this brief article, I'll give you some basic information which should give you an overview of what you can expect with a Liposuction treatment. Hopefully by the time you're done reading, you'll have a better idea of whether or not this popular cosmetic surgery procedure is right for you.



So what is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure which involves removing layers of fat from various sections of the body. The most common areas for Liposuction treatments are the thighs, tummy, buttocks, arms, neck, and face. A Liposuction surgery is usually done under local anesthesia to help with the pain.

To sum the procedure up in a nutshell, the surgeon makes small incisions in the skin and then uses injections to stretch the layers of fat, before inserting a steel tube and vacuuming away the fat.

After you've had Liposuction, you'll need to allow the spots where the incisions were made to heal. This can take a few weeks and there are certain steps that you should take in order to assist your body in the healing process.

- You'll be given a Liposuction compression garment, use it.

- Don't lift weights or strain yourself for 1-2 months following your surgery.

- Apply anti-scar creams to the incisions to help avoid scarring.

Liposuction can be a quick fix for getting rid of extra fat, but one thing that it can't replace is a healthy diet and exercise program. Regardless of whether you decide to go through with a Liposuction surgery or not, you should work hard on improving your diet and make it a point to exercise several times per week. These two things can make a world of difference when it comes to improving the body and there is simply no replacement.
