Sometimes external incisions are required though incisions inside the nose are all that is needed for other patients. The goal of rhinoplasty surgery is to create a new nasal appearance that is harmonious with the patient's other facial structures. Liposuction Liposuction is currently the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure. Liposuction is carried out to remove excess fat that does not respond to diet and exercise from specific anatomic areas. Fat distribution varies from individual to individual in a manner determined by their genetic background.
All individuals have specific anatomic locations that harbor more fatty tissue than others.
Women characteristically have greater amounts of fat in the lower trunk, upper thighs and buttocks whereas men tend to accumulate extra fat in the trunk and flank areas. In adults, moderate weight gain is accompanied by an increase in the amount of fat stored by individual adipocytes and not an increase in the number of adipocytes. New adipocytes are formed only if one gains 90-100 pounds. Therefore, once excess adipocytes are removed from an area, new fat will not be regenerated except for under unusual circumstances. Ideal liposuction candidates are not overweight and have good skin tone to allow skin redraping in a natural fashion.
