These considerations are based in large part upon the goals that you and your plastic surgeon have set for your body contouring surgery. Liposuction is popular among men, particularly for eliminating bulging fat around the waist. Areas of the body commonly treated with liposuction are shown, including delicate areas such as the inner knee and the calves and ankles which can be suctioned with a very thin cannula to achieve a more shapely contour. The abdominal area responds well to treatment with liposuction, resulting in a flatter abdominal profile and better-defined waist. In some patients, liposuction of the upper arms may also be effective.
Liposuction can remove fatty deposits in the cheeks, jowls and neck.
Fortunately, significant complications from rhinoplasty are infrequent. Every year, many thousands of people have their noses reshaped, experience no major problems and are pleased with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and risks. The subject of risks and potential complications of surgery is best discussed on a personal basis between you and your surgeon, or with a staff member in your surgeon's office. Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include bleeding, infection and reasons to anesthesia.
