The Best Candidates
The best candidates for liposuction are of relatively
normal weight but have pockets of excess fat in
particular areas. You should be physically healthy,
psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations.
Most important, having firm, elastic skin will result
in a better final contour. (Hanging skin won’t reshape
to your body’s new contours, and may require an
additional procedure to surgically remove the excess
skin.)
Risk of Complications Nevertheless, in rare instances, the procedure
may cause severe trauma, particularly when multiple
or very extensive areas are suctioned at one time.
Other infrequent, but possible, complications
include fluid accumulation(which must be drained)
and injury to the skin. Although serious complications
are infrequent, infection or excessive fluid loss
can leas to severe illness.
Your initial consultation
In your initial consultation, we will evaluate
your health, determine where your fat deposits
lie, and carefully assess your akin tone. Explain
any alternative body-contouring methods that may
be appropriate-such as abdominoplasty, or tummy
tuck and discuss the options or the combination
of procedures that would be best for you. |
