Lipo Info

It is not uncommon for men and women to feel self conscious about their bodies. Often times, people find that there are certain areas of their body that tend to store stubborn fatty deposits that are difficult to get rid of. Diet and exercise alone may not be enough to eliminate this unwanted fat, and liposuction may be the answer that you are looking for.

Liposuction is a common outpatient procedure performed by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon. Usually the procedure takes a few hours or so, and you go home that very same day. Liposuction can be performed under varying levels of anesthesia. Many patients chose to be under a light general anesthesia, while others who are seeking to have this performed on small areas, like their chin or sides, may opt to have the procedure performed under local anesthesia.

This procedure is wonderful at eliminating the fat as well as putting your body in proportion for the rest of your life. If you body likes to hold fat along your midsection, or if you have always been plagued by thunder thighs or a double chin, then this may be the only procedure that will allow you to streamline your body. This is not to say that you will not be able to gain weight in those areas again, however, if you do gain weight, it will distribute evenly among your entire body as opposed to building up around your problem areas.

There are few restrictions post operation, and many people return to work a few days to a week or so after the procedure. Be sure to discuss the procedure itself, as well as recovery time and pre and post operative instructions with your surgeon prior to your work at
