Liposuction or simply lipo is a kind of
cosmetic surgery that removes excessive fat from different body parts. It is
also known by other names such as lipoplasty or body contouring. Liposuction is
not considered as the weight loss method or alternative to ordinary diets or
exercises. Liposuction is performed on such body parts that have not responded
to diets or exercises. Abdomen, upper arms, ankles, chest, thighs, hips, chin
etc are the parts usually in need of liposuction.
Liposuction often provides shape to the body
parts. It is to be noted carefully that after liposuction, skin tone may change
itself around the treated area. If you have a good skin tone and elasticity,
your skin will be smooth after surgery. If not, the skin might appear loose
around the treated area. Liposuction will not help in improving any skin
irregularities or remove stretch marks.
Since all that is done through cosmetic
surgeries are quite permanent, it is always advisable to consult a specialist
and get proper opinion before jumping in to a final decision.
