Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure to remove exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device to recontour one or more areas of the body.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) is a new technique in which an ultrasound probe is used to liquify or "melt" the fat.
Common locations for liposuction include abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, face, neck, upper arms, and above breasts.
It can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. The surgery
is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have
stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can
return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently
occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.
The results of liposuction can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.
The best candidates for liposuction are men and women who are in relatively
good shape but are bothered by large fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that
won't respond to diet or exercise.
Over 107,000 liposuction were performed in the US in 2004. It has
increased in popularity 71% since 2000 making it the 6th most popular cosmetic
surgery procedure.
So join the 100's of thousands of people who have taken this step to improve
their image. These people often look back on their surgery as a life-changing
experience that gave them a new feeling of self-confidence and vitality and
empowered them to go out and do things!
