Liposuction in Dallas - Is Lipo Right for Me?
Liposuction is surgery. It's invasive and the procedure should not be taken lightly. Every patient going through plastic surgery should understand the risks, the rewards and the options before embarking on any surgical procedure.
In many cases, liposuction is the right solution. If, for example, you have difficulty getting rid of fat in certain areas of your body despite weight loss and exercise. Liposuction is used to target resistant pockets of fat to sculpt your body into a better shape. Once the excess fat is removed, the skin must retract and tighten for the best possible result to occur. Liposuction can be used to treat many areas throughout the body. Consult with us first and consider your options. We would love to talk with you.
TYPES OF LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction works by sucking out fat through a long thin vacuum tube, called a cannula. This is essentially the same for every type of liposuction. The difference is in the way the fat is broken up into pieces for removal.
360 LIPO
Great results can be obtained by circumferential treatment of certain areas like the midsection.
NECK LIPOSUCTION
Many people find it difficult to get rid of extra fat under the chin and neck area. For this issue, neck liposuction may be a viable option.
ARMS LIPOSUCTION
If you carry extra weight in your arms you may have trouble finding clothes that fit right. Past patients have complained that they need to buy larger sized clothes to fit their arms, but then the rest of the garment is too big. Arm liposuction can reduce the size of your arms and make them more proportional. If you have significant skin laxity, an arm lift, with or without liposuction, may provide a better result.
GYNO - GYNECOMASTIA - TREATMENTS WITH LIPOSUCTION
Some men tend to store extra fat in the pec or chest area.
BACK LIPOSUCTION
The sides of the chest and "bra roll" areas are frequently treated with liposuction. The thicker skin in these areas tends to retract well.
ABDOMINAL OR TUMMY LIPOSUCTION
Abdominal liposuction can flatten the tummy and even enhance muscle definition in some individuals. You may be a good candidate for abdominal liposuction if you have good skin elasticity and few or no stretch marks. Several small incisions around ¼ inch are made and are hidden in the belly button and below the waistline.
LIPOSUCTION FOR LOVE HANDLES OR FLANKS
Men tend to carry extra fat in the flanks despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Liposuction of the love handles is frequently combined with abdominal liposuction.
LIPOSUCTION FOR THIGHS
Women often complain about fat in the outer thigh or "saddle bag" area.
LIPOSUCTION RECOVERY
Swelling is typical after liposuction and most of it resolves within the first 1-2 weeks.
No matter what liposuction procedure you might be considering, it's worth a call to discuss your options with Dr. Vennemeyer. Call us today! You won't regret it.
