what can liposuction surgery do for a patient, and what cant it do?
Liposuction is a tool for body sculpturing. Liposuction removes localised fat from areas of the body. It is not a tool for weight loss. It is also not a good option in cases where is excess skin.
There is a limit on the amount removed safely per session. The society recommendation is not to remove more then 5L of lipoaspirate at one time.
Hello,
Liposuction is simple. In fact when I am describing it to a potential patient I cite this simplicity as its best asset and its worst liability. Lipo best addresses fat and has minimal effects on skin. If the skin over an area treated with lipo is loose and saggy, it tends to stay that way afterward. So liposuction is "fat contouring" best performed for people with pretty "tight" overlying skin. The power assisted (ultrasound and laser) lipo technologies really don't change this much but can help occasionally in borderline cases.
