Liposuction is a versatile body contouring technique that plays a role in several popular cosmetic surgery procedures. If you are unfamiliar with liposuction, the treatment is quite simple: a small metal tube is inserted through an incision in the skin. Then, fat is removed from the treatment area using a vacuum system. Now that you understand the basics of the liposuction technique, lets take a look at how liposuction can be used to contour different areas of the body. With contouring of your body you have to remember this is a life style change. You have to continue to maintain a healthy diet and exercise.
The Abdomen
When it comes to body contouring, the majority of people share one concern: the desire for a flat stomach. Whether you want to achieve a chiseled 6-pack or simply drop a few pounds, the stomach can be one of the most difficult areas to target. This is what makes liposuction so powerful. With liposuction, we can target the stubborn pockets of fat that are holding you back from a flat stomach or toned abs. With strategic lipo techniques, we can target certain areas of fat to enhance the shape of the abs and other attractive contours around the stomach. Liposuction is also a vital component of the tummy tuck procedure.
The Arms & Legs
The arms and legs are another priority for many patients. Even with the proper weightlifting regimen, you might be restricted by a small amount of fat that simply refuses to respond to your efforts. Liposuction is great for areas like this, as it can remove fat from even the smallest areas in order to enhance the overall appearance of the body. Liposuction is often incorporated into arm lift and thigh lift procedures because it can produce the sculpted look that many patients desire.
