Now if I could just sit down without this pouch winding up in my lap, I would have it made. If this is you, read on for some information on liposuction. Liposuction or suction assisted lipectomy is a surgical technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, above the breasts, the abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees and ankles. This procedure should not be used as a weight reduction program. The candidate should only consider this procedure as a method of removing localized fat pockets that don't respond to dieting and exercise.
Most women have liposuction performed on their hips, thighs and stomach.
The liposuction candidate should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in their expectations. Ladies, liposuction will not get rid of cellulite and the dimpling you get from it. The scars from liposuction are small and very well hidden from view. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved and the possibility of complications. Other infrequent but possible complications associated with all surgical procedures include infection, excessive fluid loss which can lead to severe illness or even death as well as fluid accumulation which must be drained and injury to the skin.
