Fat removal surgery – otherwise known as liposuction – is not a form of weight loss surgery and it should never be considered as such. Those people who are medically overweight or obese are advised to find their optimum weight through a combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise. Only then can they see if there are any stubborn pockets of fat remaining that can’t be shifted by switching to a healthier lifestyle alone. It is important to remember this because an ethical plastic surgeon or clinic should not recommend liposuction surgery if you are significantly overweight for your height, or if you have not already attempted to lose body fat and tone up with a change of lifestyle. With this in mind, ensure that you thoroughly research not only the cosmetic surgery clinic itself but also the cosmetic surgeon. Look at his or her credentials in terms of their qualifications, training and experience and look to make sure that he or she is registered with the appropriate board and that the clinic itself is also registered. Research is the key to any cosmetic surgery procedure and this is the other reason why fat removal surgery should not be used as a quick win. Liposuction, despite being very advanced in terms of the technology and techniques used, still poses some risks (as with all surgical procedures) and it should never therefore be seen by a prospective patient as an easy option when compared with losing weight naturally through a healthy diet and active lifestyle. However, once it has been determined that a patient is suitable for such a surgical procedure the results can often be miraculous and can really improve a person’s body shape and so in turn increase their body confidence. This type of surgery is all about reducing body fat in very specific areas such as the thighs, upper arms, buttocks, breasts or the male chest area for example and in doing so creating a smooth silhouette and almost putting the finishing touches to the hard work put in losing weight naturally in the first place. If you are not sure whether fat removal surgery is right for you, the best thing is to book in for a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon which will enable you to discuss the procedure itself, the results that can be achieved and the recovery time you can expect to require. Book in for a free consultation at your nearest plastic surgery clinic to find out more about whether fat removal surgery is the right procedure for you.
