It is not hard to be eligible for a liposuction. If you are reading this, you are probably a candidate!
The outcomes of Liposuction can be analyzed in three main categories: aesthetical, health-related, and psychological.
You can’t have a meaningful weight loss through liposuction but when done by an experienced and talented plastic surgeon, your body will look leaner and shapelier.

Besides, liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body. If you keep your weight stable, the result will be long-lasting.
The psychological outcomes of the procedure are as important as the physical ones. For most people fatty appearance of some body regions is a serious concern. If you are not happy with your body, you can experience serious psychological distress which can negatively affect your self-confidence. Therefore, after procedure, strong psychological benefits are expected. You will start to love your body more. Your self-confidence will be boosted.
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to remove excess fat from various body areas. It is customized according to needs and wishes of the patient.
Like all kinds of surgery, liposuction requires anesthesia. Your surgeon will decide whether general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is more suitable for your case.
The essence of the liposuction procedure is the removal of excess fat pockets from specific regions of the body. During the surgery, your surgeon will form very small incisions. Then a special solution will be given inside the body. After that, using a special tube, the fat tissue will be suctioned.
From which regions the fat will be removed depends the specific case of each patient. The potential regions include abdomen, waist, back, buttocks, calves, ankles, hips, thighs, upper arms, chest, chin, and neck. Surgical procedure involves making small incisions in the area which has fat deposits and inserting a tool called cannula into the fat pocket. This tool is attached to a suction device to suction the fat. The duration of the surgery depends on the extent of fat removal.
Liposuction has long term benefits and very low complication risk, with an overall complication rate of 2.47%. The risk increases if it is combined with other procedures; while solitary liposuction has a 0.7% complication rate, when combined it is 3.5%. The probable complications are:
