\"\"Liposuction<\/a>\u00a0has been around for a long time\u2014long enough that there\u2019s a lot of common misconceptions about it. You\u2019ve probably heard a lot from celebrity gossip or pop culture, but keep in mind, it is a surgical procedure, and like all surgical procedures you need to be very informed about what it entails.<\/p>\n

Liposuction works by using thin tubes called cannulas to remove fat from the body; it\u2019s what doctors call an invasive surgery, meaning it involves using incisions and suturing to contour the body. It\u2019s also an incredibly popular procedure, with 225,000 procedures done last year.<\/p>\n

Are you thinking about getting a liposuction? Then let\u2019s help you separate fact from fiction:<\/p>\n

MYTH: LIPOSUCTION IS A GREAT WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!<\/h2>\n

This is a really, really common misconception, but liposuction\u2019s main purpose is for body contouring rather than weight loss. Liposuction is used to remove stubborn stores of fat that won\u2019t go away even after diet and exercise. The ideal candidate for liposuction is actually a person with great skin elasticity that\u2019s relatively close to their ideal weight, but needs a little boost to remove that stubborn fat store.<\/p>\n

MYTH: LIPOSUCTION IS PERMANENT, NO MATTER WHAT<\/h2>\n

Actually, the results of liposuction will depend on how well you maintain your weight afterwards. You won\u2019t be removing all of your body fat with liposuction (that would be unhealthy!), so obviously you can still gain weight after liposuction. Most doctors advise maintaining a healthy weight after liposuction, not just to have constant results, but because it\u2019s just plain healthy.<\/p>\n

MYTH: LIPOSUCTION AND TUMMY TUCKS HAVE THE SAME RESULTS<\/h2>\n

Tummy tucks and liposuction have different enough results that they can actually be done together! A tummy tuck will remove excess skin and fat, and also tighten the abdominal muscles for a more athletic looking stomach. In contrast, liposuction just removes extra fat. That\u2019s why the ideal liposuction candidate should have great skin elasticity.<\/p>\n

MYTH: LIPOSUCTION IS ONLY FOR TUMMIES<\/h2>\n

Liposuction technology has advanced a lot in recent years: it can be applied to remove stubborn fat from other target areas like the thighs, the buttocks, the abdomen and waist, the cheeks, chin, neck and more.<\/p>\n

So now you know a little bit more about liposuction\u2019s complicated history. Of course, this isn\u2019t everything there is to know about the many, cutting-edge liposuction techniques available nowadays\u2013liposuction has come a long way. If you\u2019re ready to learn a little bit more about liposuction to decide if it\u2019s for you,\u00a0contact<\/a>\u00a0Dr. Evan Beale<\/a>\u00a0for an informative consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
