General Guidelines for Liposuction Candidates
Not all individuals are emotionally
suited for various plastic surgery
procedures. The ultimate prospective
patient for liposuction meets certain
criteria. Overall, most licensed
plastic surgeons will use the
following general guidelines in the
assessment of good liposuction
candidates.
- Basic Dimensions
For the most part, liposuction does not come with any specific size requirements; however, normal-weight individuals with pockets of excess fat, solid and elastic make for the best liposuction patients.
- Overall Health
The best liposuction candidate is healthy. Patients who suffer from a chronic disease such as: lung disease, heart disease, diabetes or poor blood circulation may have to pass a comprehensive physical examination. Both young and old people have been found to have experienced liposuction successfully.
- Emotionally Stable
When plastic surgeons assess prospective patients for a lipoplasty, they look for candidates who are psychologically stable. A person with unrealistic expectations is generally not ideal for the procedure. However, people who are looking to improve both their appearance and self-confidence make for the ultimate liposuction candidates.
Various Types and Techniques of Liposuction
With the groundbreaking advancements
in plastic surgery, liposuction
includes a variation of procedures.
To provide precise results, surgeons
can select from one of the following
liposuction techniques:
- Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL)
- The tumescent technique
- Super-wet technique
Basic Benefits of Liposuction
While liposuction should not be a
substitution for a well-balanced diet
and fitness regimen, liposuction does
wonders on stubborn areas of fat that
are unresponsive to a traditional
weight management program.
