Everyone has their insecurities; whether it be their weight, height, tone of voice, hair, etc., we all have them. For many, it is their figure, and a common suggestion to get rid of that last bit of fat is often a procedure called liposuction. When most hear the word “liposuction,” dozens of misconceptions arise. Lipo breaks down the fat in the subcutaneous layer of skin. Misconceptions include the procedure being dangerous, that it is a quick fix weight loss tool, and that you can be in the hospital for days after. This guide will answer questions you might have and quell worries.
This is false. Liposuction is proven to be safe and effective. A way to reassure yourself before a procedure is to ask the specialist about their schooling, licensing, and asking questions that may be on your mind. Do not hold back; it is your body, and you have a right to ask.
This is incorrect. Weight loss is a separate entity. Liposuction is recommended for those who are at or very close to their goal weight and is not a weight loss tool. It is a fat reduction procedure and should not be used instead of diet and exercise.
Liposuction clients can typically go home the same day as their procedures, so this is also false.
Liposuction is a procedure to remove fat in order to sculpt and tone the body. There are many areas where you can get liposuction. And there are different methods that clients can choose from. These include power-assisted, laser, water-lipo, and VASER.
All in all, liposuction is a safe, effective procedure to remove fat in areas that you want to tone and sculpt. Make an appointment at aFresh® Med Spa & Plastic Surgery in Glenview, IL to learn more about this popular procedure. Contact us today to book a consultation.
