Liposuction is among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the world. Whatever the measure, whatever the country, it will be around the top of any plastic surgery list.
Despite this, many people still misunderstand the treatment.
As we have stated in this blog many times, liposuction is not weight-loss surgery, but a form of reshaping, cosmetic surgery. Anyone looking to lose weight should consider gastric bands or gastric balloons, rather than lipo.
When and why to have liposuction?
Also known as liposculpture and lipoplasty, the process is usually carried out on stubborn areas of fat that diet and exercise have failed to shift. Usual hotspots include thighs, tummy, buttocks and neck.
The procedure itself can transform your body shape in just a few hours. Here’s how it works:
- A tiny incision is made in the skin and a hollow steel cannula is inserted into the layer of fat
- The cannula is then used to break up the fat cells
- A syringe or vacuum pump is used to remove the excess fat
- The flesh is the sculpted and smoothed into the desired shape.
The procedure itself is keyhole surgery, meaning that recovery times are relatively quick and, over time, there are virtually no marks left by the treatment. It can be performed on virtually any part of the body, but most commonly on thighs, stomach, bum and arms.
With Why Go Abroad, liposuction prices are affordable, with the cosmetic surgery experts offering the treatment from just £2,450.
