Glenview Liposuction doctors

A: Liposuction versus chin lift

In most cases, the factor that tilts the decision toward liposuction is the quality of what we call the skin envelope, or what a layman might refer to as the sagginess of the skin. In a more youthful person like yourself, liposuction works very well. In older patients who do not have significant excess skin, liposuction also works very well. I do agree with my colleagues that a lateral view is extremely useful in determing what might work best with you, but liposuction seems like it might work nicely for you.  A physical exam is always needed to provide the tactile feedback that can cinch the diagnosis and surgical plan for the surgeon.

A: Correcting a bad result. There are many thing that could constitute a bad result following liposuction. The solution may be more liposuction, fat transfer, or dermatolipectomies. The point is to make the most of a bad situation. Spend time with various doctors. Understand the options. A complete solution may be neither quick nor cheap. Remember the axiom "when all you have is a hammer, all the world looks like a nail"

A: What's in a name.

Liposuction is the removal of fat to create a contour. Liposculpture was coined in the mid 1990's and implied the use of local anesthetics and small cannulas. It's really the same. Liposelection I'd the term that was introduced by Sound Surgical for the Vaser system.
