You have probably heard of the incredible benefits of liposuction, as it is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Current liposuction procedures are a great way to help get rid of pesky fat tissue that is lingering even after dieting and exercise. Similar to other cosmetic procedures, liposuction is not for everyone. Let us take a look at who is a good liposuction candidate.
Liposuction is Good for Those Who are Not Obese
As mentioned, liposuction is a great tool to help those who have not been able to see the results they want with dieting and exercise. Fat tissue around the abdomen is extremely difficult to lose,even with a strict exercise regime. This means that our recommended patients are those who are generally in shape and are looking for that additional help. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and is not recommended to those with a high BMI.
Those Who Have Realistic Expectations
We encourage our patients to have a realistic expectation of their post-procedure results. Since liposuction is not used to remove large quantities of fat tissue,patients may not see immediate results following their treatment. However, the body contouring benefits of liposuction will continue to provide plenty to be happy about. You can expect to see the full results a few months after your procedure.
Those Who Have Elastic Skin
The more elastic your skin,the more ideal your body is for liposuction in St Louis. One of the greatest benefits to laser assisted liposuction treatments is how collagen production in your skin is reinvigorated after your treatment. Your skin will be looking and feeling younger following your liposuction treatment.
Those Who are Not on Medication or Experiencing a Life-Threatening Illness
Laser assisted liposuction procedures require a small incision to be made where the fat tissue is removed from the body. Patients who are currently on prescribed medication may experience a greater risk of bleeding when taking anticoagulants. Other medication can also prevent lidocaine metabolism, which is typically used in our local anesthetic. Liposuction is considered to be a minimally invasive procedure and is ideal for those who are in good health.
