Many people find it difficult to get rid of unwanted fat. Even with exercise and a healthy diet, some areas of fat remain. If you have problem areas caused by stubborn fat and seek a smoother body contour, fat removal surgery or fat removal treatment may offer the enhancement you seek. Fat removal is achieved through Liposuction.
Fat removal Treatment (surgery) removes problem deposits of fat from all the areas of the body, face or neck. It can be used to contour the thighs and hips, smooth the abdomen, shape the calves or eliminate a double chin.
Though basic fat removal treatment information is provided in this blog, the best way to get answers to specific questions about your needs is to schedule a personal consultation with our expert Plastic Surgeon, Dr.Girish.A.C, through www.curlsncurves.com. He will gladly address any questions and concerns you may have during consultation.
Am I a good candidate for Fat removal?
Men and women of all ages and body types can benefit from fat removal treatments. It should be noted, however, that this is not a weight loss program, but a procedure used to contour the body. Candidates should already be fairly close to their ideal weight before undergoing fat removal. The procedure is commonly sought by people who have deposits of excess fat making certain areas appear disproportionately large.
The best candidates for fat removal surgery are of normal weight with localized areas of excess fat—for example, in the buttocks, hips and thighs.
Though people of almost any age can be good candidates for fat removal, good skin elasticity is needed to achieve a smooth contour.
Though fat removal offers great benefits to the look and contour of the body, there tends to be some confusion as to what the procedure can and cannot do.
Fat removal can:
- Be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures or in several areas at once. Though there may be additional risks involved with combining procedures, your Plastic Surgeon can help you evaluate these risks and decide which combinations are safe to undergo.
- Be used as a treatment for Gyaencomastia (male chest reduction surgery).
Women may have fat removed to flatten the abdomen, remove fat from the arms, eliminate a double chin and contour the face and neck. Fat removal can slim the hips and thighs and provide a more shapely contour for the inner knees and calves.
Fat removal can’t:
- Serve as a substitute for dieting and exercise.
- Treat cellulite.
A personal consultation with your surgeon is the first step for any patient considering fat removal. Discuss your aesthetic goals and address any questions or concerns you may have, with your plastic surgeon.
Issues you should be prepared to discuss during consultation with your doctor includes:
- Medical conditions, both past and present.
- Current medications, including nutritional supplements and herbal remedies.
- Previous surgeries.
- Weight loss history and goals.
Since some medical conditions may complicate a fat removal procedure, you should be prepared to discuss any conditions you may have such as high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. Any surgeries you’ve undergone near the targeted area may also complicate the procedure and should be discussed with the doctor.
Depending on the areas in which you would like treatment, you may be asked to undress for assessment of the extent of correction needed. Be prepared to discuss your specific treatment goals and to point out the exact areas where you would like to see improvement. Your doctor will likely assess your skin elasticity the thickness of the underlying fat in the target area. He will also check your weight and ask if you are planning to lose or gain weight in the future. Weight fluctuation after fat removal can affect the contouring results achieved.
For men, common sites include under the chin and around the waist. “Love handles” and a large abdomen, typical problems for men, respond well to fat removal. Fat removal surgery may also be used in the reduction of enlarged male chests, a condition known as Gyencomastia.
