Have you ever looked at yourself in a full-length mirror and thought, “I’d be pretty happy with the way I look if only I could get rid of these bulges of fat”? Do you exercise and diet, hoping to lose those lumpy pockets of fat in the abdominal region or on the buttocks, only to get discouraged because they never seem to get any smaller? If so, you may be a suitable candidate for liposuction.

Candidacy for Liposuction

It is important to understand straightaway that liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, per se. While it effectively removes fat, it is not intended to treat obesity. Rather, it is designed to refine the figure, smoothing out those areas where the skin is affected by unflattering bulges.

At our plastic surgery practice in Sydney, liposuction is best suited to those who:

• Are at or near their ideal weight and in basically good health
• Have isolated areas on their bodies where fat has accumulated
• Have attempted, without success, diet and exercise to remove these pockets of fat
• Are realistic in their expectations
• Are committed to leading healthy lifestyles to maintain their figures after surgery

The fat cells that are removed during liposuction do not regenerate; once they have been removed, they will not come back. This is a desirable thing for those willing to maintain their re-contoured bodies after surgery. However, those who gain substantial weight after surgery may find that the areas treated by liposuction do not expand proportionate to the rest of the body. Hence, it is absolutely essential that patients who undergo liposuction understand the risks of significant weight gain, prior to undergoing liposuction.

Liposuction may be the ideal “finishing touch” for patients who have lost massive amounts of weight and find themselves with stubborn, lingering pockets of fat on their bodies. These patients often combine liposuction with lift procedures to address the problem of leftover sagging skin.
