True or False? No matter how much you diet and exercise, no matter how many times you pass up other people's birthday cakes, no matter how early you rise to get to the best fat-burning aerobics class ever... there are still some particularly stubborn areas of fat that refuse to go away. If this statement is true for you, help is on the way.
Many healthy, fit and body-conscious people find themselves in the dilemma described above. For these people, liposculpture may very well be the solution. Liposculpture or liposuction removes fat from problem areas of the body while improving the contour at the same time. The art of liposuction requires an artistic approach by the surgeon and precise instruments to achieve the best possible results.
You may have heard about the Tumescent Technique for liposuction which was pioneered by a leading dermatologist, Dr. Jeffrey Klein. With this technique, fat can be removed with minimal bleeding and under local anesthesia as opposed to more involved procedures under general anesthesia. If you are a person in good health, local anesthesia is always preferable to general anesthesia because the recovery time for a procedure is much shorter. The best candidates for the tumescent technique liposuction are healthy people with realistic expectations and firm skin.
The most common areas of the body for which patients request liposuction are the neck and under the chin, back of the underarm area, waist, abdomen,
“love handles”, breast (men), and hips (saddlebags).
The success of liposuction is measured by the enhancement of the physical appearance of the person and not by the number of pounds lost. This means that a more gently curving hip with diminished saddlebags is the result that the surgeon will measure rather than merely weighing the patient after the procedure.
Dr. Prasad’s philosophy for successful liposuction is based on the prospective patient maintaining a healthy lifestyle to help insure the treatment’s long term benefit.
Dr. Prasad uses very fine instruments to achieve the best contours. Typically, patients undergo the procedure under local anesthesia or in combination with intravenous sedation.
The benefits of liposuction can be appreciated not only within the first 2 weeks but continuously over the ensuing months after the procedure. After about 4 to 6 months, the swelling from the procedure will mostly resolve and a fraction of the fat cells in the areas treated will be absorbed. This healing process allows for a smooth contour of the body over time.
So now that you know how to get at that last stubborn bit of fat, take the next step to revealing your new look today.
