You may have been told that if you want to reduce fat, then you need to diet and increase exercise. Although both of these things will improve your health and even your emotional well-being, many individuals discover that some fat is resistant to diet and exercise. In these cases, cosmetic surgery, including fat removal, may be necessary. Resistant fat often clings to the stomach area, thighs, or along the hips and back. When fat is localized like this, you can find yourself discouraged. Fat removal procedures could be a great solution for you.
What Are My Options
Many people do not realize that when it comes to fat removal, they actually have a few options. For many years liposuction reigned as the king of fat removal procedures. Today, however, there are other options available as well. Patients are delighted to learn that there are both different fat removal options to help them reach their goals.
Liposuction
Because liposuction has been around for so long, it remains one of the most well-known procedures. Liposuction is considered a surgical procedure. This procedure must be performed by a cosmetic surgeon. The perks of this procedure are that it is very precise fat removal and directly targets specific areas of fat. The fat removal is done through suction through a cannula. The cosmetic surgeon will expertly contour the area being treated in order to create a more desirable shape. Many people choose this option because it is effective. You should note that liposuction is a surgical procedure, which will include a recovery period.
While many people think of liposuction as being performed just on the stomach, this fat removal procedure can be used on a variety of stubborn areas of the body. There are many tricky areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, such as the face, upper arms, and certain areas of the legs. This can be a good time to consider liposuction.
